Been a little late on this, but, eh. Same rules as last year. You're picking the results of college bowl games.
Since picking every single bowl game is insane, this challenge only involves picking a few of them. You score points for each game you pick right. Your pick includes:
* The BCS National Championship game (LSU vs Alabama). This game is worth 40 points.
* Any two BCS bowl games (Orange, Fiesta, Sugar, Rose). Each game you pick is worth 30 points.
* Any one bowl game. That game is worth 20 points.
* Any three bowl games. Each of those games are worth 10 points.
The person with the highest score wins a $5 Gift Card to Amazon. A perfect score is 150 points, and getting a perfect score doubles your prize. Ties are first broken by the number of games picked correctly, if that number is even the prize is doubled, than split. Each winner is also eligible for double prizes in the NFL Playoff Pick 'em contest.
A handy list of the bowl games can be found here. There is no deadline for entry, but you cannot pick for a game that has already been played.
Here's a template to copy/paste for your entry;
Name:
40 points -
30 points -
30 points -
20 points -
10 points -
10 points -
10 points -
Good luck to everyone!

I'm doing it. This was a lot of fun last year.
Will have my picks in soon.
EDIT: Satsui, if we make our picks we can change them as long as the game hasn't been played, right? I want to put in my entry but I'm still not 100% sure who I want to pick in the BCS Title game.

I'm going to say for the BCS games, you can change them around up until one of them is played. The other games are locked in once any of your games are played.

I included the official, full name of the games because those sponsors paid a lot of good money to rename these traditional bowls.

Dude. Not funny. Make a real pick (with at least one game different) or go to Hell.

Maybe not, I've been busy/tired as fuck lately and really haven't been paying attention to this (or any of my online projects really)
I'll update this in the next few days and possibly even enter it.

Done.
I also need to start the playoff one, that I can do tonight, if I don't pass out early.

Maybe if you hadn't literally copy/pasted his entry, I wouldn't have noticed.
Maybe if you hadn't waited 3 weeks, I would have allowed that.
But, sorry, it's too late now.
Can you believe it, it's updated. And so far, everyone is perfect. Insane.
Here's how it breaks down, I think:
LSU wins, West Virginia wins - Tomdincan wins, perfect score.
LSU wins, Clemson wins - Klimbatize and Tomdincan tie, perfect scores.
Alabama wins, West Virginia wins - Cpt. Fantastic wins
Alabama wins, Clemson wins - Cpt. Fantastic wins, perfect score.

So, uh, Clemson? Didn't win.
It's down to Tomdincan vs Cpt. Fantastic, winner of the Championship game takes all.
