Time for another one of these, if anyone cares about winning contests on these boards. The big bowl games are coming up, so let's see how many we can pick.

Since picking all freaking 34 of them would, like, suck, and most of the games are boring anyways, we're only going to pick a few. To enter, pick some winners for the following games:

- The BCS National Championship Game between Alabama and Texas. Picking this game right is worth 30 points.
- Any 2 other BCS games (The Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, and Orange Bowls). Each one of these games is worth 20 points apiece.
- Any 3 other bowl games of your choice. Each game you choose is worth 10 points. You can choose one or both of the other BCS bowls here if you want, but they're still only worth the 10.

A list of the bowl games can be found here. All picks are straight up. A perfect score is 100 points, ties won't be broken, deal with it.

The deadline for entering this is the day you can no longer pick a full field (1/2/10, I think, but do not hold me to that, my math may be off), but no matter when you come in, you can't pick a game that's already been played. You can change your picks until one of the games you picked has been played, then you're locked in.

Good luck. Post entries here.

I care about winning contests, but talk of college football breaks me out in hives.

I'll play, but I haven't followed NCAAFB that much this season, I usually watch a bit more and read up on and follow several teams....I blame these forums.

Meh, if nobody's interested, nobody's interested. Don't feel you have to play if you don't want to. Don't worry me much.

Hey, not every idea I have is a good one.

(are any of them?)

Boise St. and Florida in the BCS bowls.

Boston College (is going to get absolutely smoked by USC, but fuck it), Stanford, and UConn

pfft, college football is the ONLY sport I find worth watching. I'll watch the super bowl if I have a bet with a friend on it or something.

My picks:
-----------

Alabama over Texas

Florida over Cincinnati

Oregon over Ohio State

Arkansas over ECU

Nebraska over Arizona (starts in 1 hour, so, if I'm not allowed to pick this game because it's today, I'll pick another game.)

LSU over Penn State

Huh. When nobody showed any interest in this, I thought I'd just let it die, to be honest.

not looking good for me. 60 points at best, maybe only 30, unless Arkansas somehow pulls the game out. Pathetic.
