CFP Bowl Pick'em

Postby Eric » Mon Dec 08, 2008 8:29 am

I'll tally up the scores from last week tomorrow since I didn't really have much of a chance yesterday. I just wanted to get this game up and running so we can have as much participation as possible.

If you guys are unfamiliar with this format of "confidence points", basically all you do is a assign a game a certain number of those points to a team depending on how confident you are. For instance, this year I am most confident that Boston College will beat Vanderbilt, therefore I will place 34 (out of 34) points on Boston College. I'm second-most confident that USF will beat Memphis, so I'll put 33 points on USF, etc. I'm least confident in Utah beating Alabama, so I'll stick my one-pointer on that game. Simple, right?

The games will lock on December 20, but if you have any changes that you would like to make regarding future games, just PM me. Good luck!

I cannot seem to find the scores from last week or the totals from the second half. Where are they?
