ESPN's Bowl Mania

OK guys, I know I might be jumping the gun just a little bit here but, I thought it would be fun to have a CougarCorner group competition. I went ahead and created a private group for us:



http://games.espn.go.com/bowlmania/en/frontpage



Group Name: CougarCorner

Password: bleedblue



Please, go ahead and join whenever you can and follow the instructions. Obviously, we can't make our picks just yet so I will make sure to bump this thread when the time gets near





***Edit by Mod---Picks can now be made. The first bowl game is on the 19th so have your picks in before then. Direct link to the group is CougarCorner***

In and done.

Now I have confused myself... I started to think about it too much as I think I did it backwards last year. Confidence picks 1-34. IS 1 the most confidence or least. I jave switched it back and forth a couple times and now I just feel dumb

In.

I believe 34 is most confident. If you get that bowl correct you get 34 points. The more points you score the better you do. For instance, now that Brian Kelly is going to Notre Dame and may not even coach Cincinnati, I'm considering picking Florida to win and giving it all 34 points.

That was an interesting exercise.

34 is the highest confidence. The higher the confidence you assign to a game, the more points you will earn if you have selected the winning team. Each game must have a different confidence value assigned to it from 1 to 34. For example, if you assign 34 points (because you are very confident) to Ohio State winning the game against Michigan, and Ohio State wins, your entry will receive 34 points for the correct selection.

Thanks for setting this up---I have loved participating in the fantasy league that some of us have been a part of and relish this new opportunity to waste time while I should be productive. On a personal note, it has been very strange in our ff league to consider picking up former Utes like Alex Smith or Quinton Ganther off the waiver wire....I may need some counseling to reconcile some deep issues that I'm now experiencing...

HA HA HA HA, Italics, you are such a card!!!!

OK I am in....but am signed up as hortondog....

In! and for the record it was easier to just get in once and add players to one person's info so that is the reason for all the "ammoncougar" entries. I have NOT entered more than once. I am the DAD. My son Josh is Ammoncougar2, my son Isaac is Ammoncougarike, my son Ammon is Ammoncougar (thought that was fair he should have to be redundant) and my daughter is Ammoncougar Emma. BTW, she is the one who picked only favorites (except BYU of course) and who picked by confidence exactly how they are listed in the first screen FYI.



Go Cougs!!!
