Seems like just about every team I want to win can't get a 4th Down stop. BYU just the latest example.

Already lost my 43 and 44 point picks. Oh well.

My old boss bet every single dog plus the points every single bowl game and swore by that system. Honestly i think it does work out on the percentages.


Hard thing is trying to judge a team's motivation in the bowl game. Plus I wish there was a way to find out ahead of time if there are any sit outs. That burned me in previous years.

Points are the main thing in this game but we only had one person that had a 6-3 record after 9 bowl games. Everybody else was worse than that. Been a tough go for most so far.

I'm really curious about something. Did anyone explain the confidence point system to the people in 44th place and below? On the group picks page, from the middle of the second page on down, all of them show 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 on their first nine picks...

Guessing some either didn't have the time or were just too lazy to set the points for all the different games. Maybe a few who just didn't understand the confidence point aspect of it.

After squandering a bunch of my high-point games already, I kinda wish I had done that. :D

I remember we had a few like that last time we played - 10 or so? Just seemed like a HUGE number this time around, around 50% of the people playing. Maybe if they see this conversation, they'll go back and adjust confidence levels for the remaining bowls.

Then again, maybe not. :D

Is there anyway to re-sort your picks by DATE of the game instead of low-to-high by assigned points?


Also, it feels weird to see everyone's ACTUAL NAMES on the group standings list. Like all our superhero secret identities are now out there...

It's occasionally visible when I view it - comes and goes. Next to the screen names.

Yeah, it was right next to your handle KC. I didn't notice it last week, so I think 500 is right, must come and go.
The kind of programming we have come to expect from ESPN...

Maybe it's visible only on specific browsers or something ... after seeing your post earlier, I checked again - real names were visible, then a couple of minutes later it disappeared. Closed that tab and went back -- screen names only.
