Okay, we're going a little crazy here. Not as crazy you may think, but still a little crazy. We're going to be picking the results of some bowl games.

There's 35 of them, but the contest isn't gonna involve picking all of them Just 7 of them. Here's how it breaks down:

*Everyone picks the winner of the National Championship Game (Auburn vs Oregon). This pick (and all picks) are straight up. Picking this game correctly is worth 40 points.

*Choose 2 BCS bowl games (Rose, Fiesta, Orange, Sugar) and pick the winners. Each one you pick correctly wins you 30 points.

*Choose any one bowl game (you can choose one of the remaining BCS games, or any of the other 30 games). Picking the winner is worth 20 points.

*Choose any 3 bowl games. Each winner is worth 10 points.

*The person with the most points at the end wins a $10 Amazon gift certificate. The tiebreaker shall be the number of games picked correctly, after that the prize is split. Anyone with a perfect score of 150 doubles the prize ($20).

*You may pick any game, so long as the game hasn't started yet (duh). There is no deadline other than running out of games to pick, and you may change your picks so long as one of your games hasn't been played. However, once one of the games you've picked has been played, your entry is finalized. Entries need not be complete to enter, you can just pick 5 or 6 games if you like, but it hurts your score of course.

Here is a list of the games being played, and the teams in them. First game is the 18th of December, but again, if you really don't care about the winner of the uDrove Humanitarian Bowl, you can wait.

Post your entries here. Use the format I used for mine and fill in your own teams. Ask any questions you feel like asking. Good luck.

I was gonna pick Nevada, but I don't feel right going against BC, and honestly, my picks were way too WAC-heavy as it is.

Isn't it interesting that all 3 of the WAC bowl teams are gone from there in a year or two, and the fourth one is considering leaving?

Yeah, going against BC is tough, I thought on it a bit.

The WAC teams want auto bids for BCS Games, and I can't blame them as they get screwed often.

The WAC sucks. There's a reason Boise State was able to dominate it. They don't deserve one.

If Utah and TCU was staying in the MWC, though, with Boise coming in, they probably would have had a legitimate argument for an automatic bid. That's 3 of the 4 BCS Busters right there in one conference.

You need to pick one of those as your 20 point game.

Also, you're short one.

Come on, guys! Even if you don't know a thing about college football, you have nothing to lose by entering. And you could win money too!

Again, if you want the full slate of games to pick from, you need to enter by the 16th, but you can pop in at any time there's still 7 games to play.

Dorn, you need one more game and you need to designate one of them to be worth 20 points.

And the name of the bowls would have been nice.

Thanks to a game where the only shock was that Boise only won by 23, a bunch of people put points on the board.

ChiSoxFan takes the early lead, Klim is in second place (based on tiebreaker), I'm in a comfortable third.

Cpt. Fantastic and I can score a 10 with a Navy victory tonight, and me and Klim can score some points with a Hawaii win Christmas eve. Hey, I can be in the lead in my own contest, how lame is that?

Remember, it is still not too late to enter, and some of you still have a chance to change your picks. If you're already on the scoreboard, though, you're locked into your picks.

Alright, I knew I could count on my alma mater and Boise St. making some early noise.

Hopefully the gravy train can keep rolling.
