Week 14 Games

[ricky023]

Well I got my ballot in for this week. I thought I took time to get this right being end of the season. RTR!

[SUPERCOACH]

I won't have to suggest games, since there are 35 bowl games, we can do 3 groups of 10 and eliminate 5 games.  One game I would vote to eliminate would be the Idaho Potato Bowl because it is on the blue turf.

Last year we decided to pick all 35 bowl games in one big round.  I figure we will do that again this year.

Coach, can I respectfully submit an alternative plan? Since some of these bowl teams are virtually unknown to us, and we'd all just be guessing our picks (humor me that there is more to it than guessing during the regular season), maybe we should cull out the truly meaningless and uninteresting games. Below is a list of 15 games, which, added to the 5 BCS bowls, would make an even 20. That's the equivalent of two reg season weeks, and the picking might actually involve some skill/knowledge.

What do y'all think?

Sounds good to me.

Having a little something riding on a game, even a minor bowl game, makes it a little more interesting to watch.

[pmull]

I think we need to pick all 35 bowl games. Unless Bama basketball is on I will be watching the games anyway.

[ricky023]

Either way is good with me. Both ways sound fun. I do agree there will be a lot of missing from the knowledge, but the research should be fun. RTR!

[pmull]

I need all 35 games. I have a lot of ground to make up. 

[Leroy]

I need all 35 games. I have a lot of ground to make up. 

  Ditto

The barn door is closed, and that cow is long gone.

Maybe we can consider the bowl picks as a separate competition?  (So I can lose all over again.)

[bama87]

I say one round pick all 35.

[BAMADCHAMPSHIPS]

I guess we are not picking between Army/Navy this week. For the record I am picking Navy.

[BAMAWV]

Navy (-7) seems to be the pick. The O/U is set at 56.5.

BTW, the ESPN awards show is tonight, 6:30CT.

I third that motion, and the sentiment. 

[bama57]

Seems to me like we are all chasing the 4 at the top, kind of reminds me of a dog chasing a grown man and snapping at his heels., all along hoping he don't turnaround and kick him! ...but, it has been fun!
