Congratulations to ..fanatic for winning the overall season and for Spence who won in the second half. I had fun picking games this year.

[donovan]

Thanks for all your work and congratulations to Fanatic. Next year!

[Spence]

Ohio State cost me the overall.

Flipping a coin the second half doesn't work.

It was worth a try.

Great job Eric!, and congrats to Fanatic!

[Cane from the Bend]

Yep, thanx for the run Eric, it was a great ride.

8 behind the lead for the second half, and 18 behind the lead overall, I seem to be regressing.
I'm not quite a optimistic as Donovan though; next year never seems to work out all that well.

That's okay, however, because I like living in the here & now --- Bowl Season starts tomorrow!
I got this one in the bag.

Until it's all over --- and I've lost again.

Your hard work does not go unnoticed, Eric. As for the results...I like being wrong when I guess...then I reaffirm why the games are played.

Spence is studying the Confidence points...way too much....

Way too much for all the good it will do me.

I don't think it's going to do any of us any good. This is one of the toughest bowl seasons I've ever looked at, at least in the smaller bowl games. Some of the New Year's Eve and January bowls look like mismatches on paper. I would not be completely shocked if I went winless heading into Christmas. Especially with the freaking Hawaii Bowl. I'm awful at picking that one

[Spence]

I went through the games four times and spent at least two hours on the confidence picks. I usually spend every bit of twenty minutes on it.

[Cane from the Bend]

Two hours . . . Donovan can't even stay awake for that long in any one period of time.

.

Seriously though; I don't do the confidence points myself, however, I went back and forth over the list a couple of times, changing a couple of my predictions, until I finally just settled, and said, forget it, it's done ... then hit submit.

There are way too many games I could have gone the other way on to be confident about anything.

Not only that, I would have gone to the bathroom 6 times.

Eric thanks again for running this again this year. Sorry I missed several weeks, I do enjoy playing along but my pool usually had a Thursday game and I would forget to submit pics here later on. On the positive side I finished 2nd overall out of 510 people and won a $1000 bucks.
