Hi everyone!
The Puritan Board Bowl Bash is upon us! We will use the same rule set as we did last year, namely each of the bowl games other than the Big SIx (Cotton, Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, Peach) and the National Championship Game count for one point. The Big Six count for two points, and the National Championship Game counts for four points.
In the unlikely event of a COVID cancellation, the game will be removed from consideration
All game picks must be submitted before 11:00 CST on Friday, December 17.
This means that the National Championship Game must be picked blind (that is, the National Championship Game must involve your two semifinal winners, and from them you choose the champion, all before the bowl games begin on Friday.
Our contestants are:
@Edward and @Eyedoc84 (plus 3 points)
@ChristianLibertarian (plus 1 point)
@Edm
@SolaScriptura
@kainos01
@earl40
@toddpedlar
Bonus points will be tallied from the start. So the current score is Edward and Eyedoc84 at 3, ChristianLibertarian at 1, and the rest, 0.
If when all is said and done, we have a tie among one or more contestants, here are the Tiebreakers:
1) National Champion correctly picked
2) National Champion runner-up correctly picked
3) National Championship Game Score (using the usual metric)
4) Total number of correct games picked
5) Order of entry
The Winner of this contest has the honor of serving as the Grand Poohbah of the 2022 College Football Pick'Em Contest, or designating a replacement commissioner.
I have greatly enjoyed running the contest this year - thanks to Ben, who won last year, for yielding the mantle to me. It's been great fun as always!
Here is the slate! All picks must be in by 11am Central Time Friday! I will send out a reminder Wednesday and Thursday evenings!
