[BigJCy]

Join the fun and enter into this years Bowl Game Pick'em Contest!

Pick each game and assign a point confidence level to each game (the more confident you are in a game assign a higher point total). Person with the most points at the end wins.

Picks just need to be made before kickoff of each game. 1st set of Bowl games are Saturday, Dec. 16th.

Below is the link on ESPN to join. Group name is called: Cyclone Fanatic

You can edit your Entry Name if you need to by clicking on the "Gear Wheel" located on the top right hand side of the "Make Picks" Page.

Bump for those that didn't see this yesterday.

Has anyone found a website that tells you what players will not be playing in the bowl games? Between players going into the Portal and all the opt-outs, these will drastically change the bowl outcomes. The articles I am finding are just clickbait.

Haven't found one yet, hopefully by early next week maybe there will be one.

For those that are bored at work on a Friday afternoon join the contest and make some picks to pass the time!

That there is and to me a lot of them are not easy to set confidence level points to either.

This is the best one I've seen thus far. Still will be some opt-outs that haven't been announced I'm sure.

Thanks! These bowls are impossible to predict. Way too many changing rosters to know how teams will perform. Nothing like it used to be.

Bump for the evening crowd. 33 signed up thus far.

Yeah I think I'm already onto 3rd guessing mine.

Lots of games early that are high on my confidence list. Lots of mismatches.

Just put mine in and made it in time.
