Hi Everyone -
Here are the qualifiers for this year's season ending Bowl Pick 'Em. Again, people who won one or more weeks gain entry to this very exclusive tournament. One of the nine men below will be this year's final champion, and have the privilege and duty of running next year's Pick 'Em contest!

Each of the 35 games is listed below chronologically. They are listed by date and time, bowl name, location, and the teams involved.
Overall records for each team are given, and if the team name is preceded by a number in parentheses, that is the final ranking of the
team in the top 25 before the bowls.
In order to generate your entry, you need to reorder this list according to your confidence in your picks. The higher the confidence, the higher the number. So...
If you think that UCLA will utterly destroy Virginia Tech, rank that game: 35
If you are fairly confident that Oregon will beat Texas, rank that game: 18 (or thereabouts)
If you have no idea how the Vanderbilt/Houston game will go, rank that game: 1
Then, arrange every other game somewhere in between, always ranking the games about which you are more confident with a higher number.
Thus, your post (in this scenario) would look like this:
35. Dec. 31 Hyundai Sun Bowl, 2 p.m., at El Paso, Texas Virginia Tech (8-4) vs. (17) UCLA (9-3)34...
33...
...

18. Dec. 30 Valero Alamo Bowl, 6:45 p.m., at San Antonio (10) Oregon (10-2) vs. Texas (8-4)
17...
16...
...
...
1. Jan. 4 BBVA Compass Bowl, 1 p.m., at Birmingham, Ala. Vanderbilt (8-4) vs. Houston (8-4)
Your score will simply be the cumulative total of the numbers corresponding to the games you picked correctly. Thus, according to the examples above, if your pick was right for all three games, you would get 54 points;
if you only picked the Vanderbilt/Houston game correctly, your score is 1 point.
Make sure you number your picks (35-1)!
Make sense? If not, feel free to ask for clarification (or revisit last year's thread to see this system in action!)
You can change your picks up to the beginning of the first game (21 December @ 2:00 pm)
I will post running totals periodically.
