If I set-up a group on ESPN's Bowl Mania to have a contest where you select the winner of each bowl game and set a confidence point total to each game would people be interested in participating?

It's no cost. Free, and it is just for "pride"/Braggin' Rights.

Update:

I went ahead and set-up the Group.. First set of games is Friday, Dec. 20th so be sure to at least get those picks and confidence points set by that date for those games.

Please try to use your Cyclone Fanatic username (ex. for me it is BigJCy) as the "entry name" for your sheet so that way it's easier to keep track of who's who.

You can join here (name of the group is Cy Fanatic):

Lets have a lot of people join in on the fun!

Preciate you for setting this up. Don't know if you guys are anything like me, but I'll watch, or attempt to watch, every game. Will probably post on here during games and might do a running blog if that's something you guys are interested in!

No problem, yeah I'm one of the wackos that will watch most of these games as well.

We currently have 42 signed up, lets at least get to 50! Friday at 1 pm Central is the 1st game.

I'll tweet it out once or twice more Thursday and Friday.

Would you guys want a separate thread to talk about the games or just post stuff in here?

Also, I'm posting a pdf that I make every year with some extra info and TV stuff along with a spot to write in your points on the side.

I’m in (stealyourcyclone) and I had a friend join that is not on here. Hope you guys don’t mind, I wanted to set up one with pool but could only get one so I had him join to track our points. $50 head to head.

With less than an hour to the 1st Kickoff it appears these entries still have yet to make any of their picks:

@cyclones500
@IsUaClone2
@RogerQC
@CPKClone
@JaMo
@ESPNFAN1739154796

I have two entries set up in the system (inadvertently). One is unfilled, the other has all 41 ... do I need to delete the one that's irrelevant?

Let me know if you see two separate entries for me, or if I need to fix something. If necessary I can transfer the pics from what I see as the complete one into the unfinished entry.

I only see 1 entry for you and it's the one that doesn't have any picks made. I think you should be able to leave the group with that entry and then join the group with the entry that you have all your picks made. That would probably be the easiest way to do it. That or just copy all of your picks into the current entry.
