Signed up and did the picks, time to give steelerfan a run since I completely screwed the pooch by forgetting to do my weekly picks during the regular season.

Thought I picked SDSU, turns out I picked Navy. Didn't realize it until after the game started. :smh:

I had SDSU but after I heard about the rain storms, I figured Navy would just run through the mud and SDSU would struggle. :/

LOL so the favorites have won every bowl game thus far.

Anybody watching FIU/Toledo? FIU just converted a 4th & 17 with 42 seconds remaining on a hook & lateral to keep their drive alive.

HWill

And just like that I am no longer in first place. You have to be kidding me. I have now missed three in a row.

FIU bails me out. I was sitting in that large 8-way tie for 4th.

but now it seems I'm part of a 8-way tie for 2nd. lol

I screwed the pooch long ago, but I figured that was going to happen. I had to hurry and make my picks (put it off for too long) and didn't really do much research before making them.

Only getting 1 out of the last 4 games hurts. Freakin GT laying an egg unbelievable.

So... I'm not the smartest man in the world. With Maryland winning, I'm on a four game losing skid... :/

Ouch I think I had SMU not only here but on my $ pool for about 27 or so confidence points.

I understand the complaint about the unsportsmanlike penalty near the end of the Syracuse/KSU game, but that guy HAS to know better. There was no sense in doing anything other than high-fiving your teammates and get ready to try to tie the game.

I agree, G, but I will also say that there's no consistency whatsoever. The Tennessee game has had a lot of similar "celebrations" that were not called.

I agree with that... and as pointed out by the halftime crew, both official crews are Big 10 officials which obviously they should have the same set of guidelines.

Craziness late in the UNC/Tennessee game eventually sending it into OT.

JeffHCross

Kind of apropos that UNC gets the victory after a big play by the defense.

Thankfully, North Carolina won the game.

What a way to end the game.

And now we have Locker spiking the ball as he crosses the goalline with no penalty thrown. I suppose you could say the officials missed it assuming he merely dropped it but interesting nonetheless.

JeffHCross

I believe you can still spike the ball, as long as you don't do it in a "taunting" manner in front of an opponent.

But this is definitely bordering on ridiculous. I bet some people are going crazy about the idea of the celebration penalty that will take points off the board next year (though, to reiterate, that only happens if you celebrate before you cross the goalline).

I'm having a pretty good bowl pick'em season so far. I'm leading in my $ one, and am in a 3-way tie here.

Well, there went my last chance. I figured Stanford would win but also knew most would pick them as well. In order to make up ground, I had to count on VaTech winning. I doubt I can make up 4 points with only 6 games remaining :/

I put a lot of pressure on myself by missing on that game. I'll most likely have to go perfect the rest of the way to have a chance. Doubt that happens though.

17th place for me isn't bad lol

I went on a run the last 8 or so games, except the Wisky-TCU game and the title game

HWill

I finished 5th, which is much better than I would do, to be honest.
