I am into bowl games more this year.  I have a nephew playing in the New Orleans Bowl.  He is a cornerback for Florida Atlantic.  Their coach is Howard Schnellenburger, you might remember him for coaching Miami to their first National Championship in the 80s.  I was a corner in High School and College as well.  He must have his athletic ability from me.

No comment.

I don't follow college much, but enough to make some educated guesses in this.

remember, it's a confidence poll, so you can change how confident you are in any one pick by dragging it up or down.

I take it no one else wants to try?

You never hit the submit button, so you picked the first team of every game, in order from last game played to first game played. snicker

ESPN says you didn't pick anyone nor rank anyone, which means you can't win all the cool stuff even if you call every game right Tongue

I just lost my 1st game.  I picked Boise State and I had 29 pts on that one so that hurt.

Mark, you'll have to post your scores manually, we can't see your paper.  It might help if you quickly type in what is on your paper so we can see who you picked.

Tim, it is not fair, I live in Ann Arbor and so have to pick UofM.  Even if they did just fire all the assistant coaches.  confused

You don't HAVE to pick Michigan for anything.  And you can always rank them low.

No that is in the order on my sheet which is in the order they are playing.  I will have to add my confidence points later.

They should be top to botom in confidence order, (32-1), as when you sort them, it adjusts that order.

Bill -- good call.  Sometimes being loyal to the home team pays off.  I sure thought they were going to lose.

It was a great game to watch. 

It looked to me like they really wanted to win it for Carr -- maybe like a going away present.  They seemed to play inspired with a "we will not give up" attitude.  When a lot of coaches are on their way out the team just goes through the motions.  Boy not that team!

Right now I am 21-6 with 304 points.  How are you guys doing?

espn has me at 15-13 249

and bront at 15-13 217

he has many more points remaining than I do.  I have 49 remaining, Bront has 70

It doesn't look like either of us can catch you.  Of course espn has your 'official score' at 0 with a record of 0-28.
