I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I started a Yahoo bowl pick 'em league because I don't think anyone else did it yet.

Bumping this to get more participants. Bowls start next weekend, so there's still plenty of time to talk yourself into putting max confidence points on the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl!

Pick winners of bowl games with confidence points based on which outcomes you think are most likely.

It's fun!

Guess what you think the betting line should be for each game (if you were setting it) and then order them from the biggest spread to the smallest

Here's how I play it:

Get really drunk
Pick games
Wait until next afternoon
Review picks
Change anything as needed
Fiddle with confidence points all week

This won me the Goon Pick 'em recently.

Is anyone else having an issue not being able to fill in the NCG and score? I swear it used to make you do this before the games started in previous years.

I could not fill in the score maybe they want you to know the teams, like we don't already know the teams.

Also I made my picks based upon only watching IU football games 3 times this year.

Last year we did ESPN so maybe Yahoo handles it differently.

Yeah, I'm having that problem as well. Also I can't drag my confidence choices around on mobile, it makes the whole page move instead of the picks.

Okay. I'm in. I ended the regular pick em season well!

e: I liked the spread picks vs confidence points because half these bowls are unknowable dreck haha

ee: I honestly have no clue for more than half of these this will be an awful thing I think. So many I just left where they are.

Looking through the early games, we have 0 players who picked 5 of 5. We've got a couple that bet big on SDSU and New Mexico and won.

Emron is showing a masterful use of the confidence points so far, as he is waaaaay down in 30th place, but has the highest remaining points possible.

3 players failed to submit any picks (there's still time!)

1 player actually managed to get 0 of 5. Zach, our hearts go out to you.

Also, this guy here: The Nards Pan's dumb picks, RobertR... You should finish off your picks. You got 2 of 5, but only picked the first 5 games.

I think I'm 0/6 now. Sorry guys I'm bringing down the average

All the picks are my low point ones at least.

I got a middling 3 but yeah high point wins and low point losses.

My first five picks were worth 1,2,3,4, and 5 points, but I had 38 on Tulsa winning :smug:

In retrospect I have no idea why I picked UCF over Arkansas State (I made most of these picks two weeks ago and have only adjusted a few for coaching/player related news since then) but 5/6 and leading the group ain't bad :toot:
