POLL: Pickem Contest Bowl Games

[Catch Prothro]

Ahem.  Getting back to the topic, and not the cheerleaders, I'd prefer the following: 
(1) a new contest, since Jamos has pretty much wrapped up the regular season. 
(2) Pick all the bowl games, instead of groups of 10, because groups of 10 might lead to having to leave out bowl games, especially around New Years, plus picking groups of 10 for bowl games really does have the ghey.   
(3) If not too much work, have the contest driven by CrimsonRedSports, instead of some other provider, as it would drive traffic to the site and probably ensure better participation and a more lively discussion.
(4) a ham sammich, with mustard.

A little clarification on a few things:

Groups of 10 only makes sense as a possible option if we are continuing the current contest.  This is so that the Bowl picks will have the same number of games as the other weeks.  We drop each person's 2 lowest scores, so having the groups of 10 makes the Bowl picks fit in nicely with that rule.  We would not do this with a new contest.

If you continue the current contest and do them all in one batch, it causes the bowl picks to be a big factor in deciding the outcome, kind of like a final exam.  This would give everyone a chance to make up some ground on the leaders.

If we did a separate contest they would all be in one big monster round.  Which means we would need to enter picks for ALL of the games before the first bowls on 12/17.

It is not a big deal to host it here.  Everything was setup with the idea of having multiple contests, possibly even having more than one running at the same time.

Hey, I'm for anything that gives me a chance.    Let's have a final exam.  If the contest doesn't start soon, Alabama is going to be a 10-point favorite!  LOL.

During bowl season there are many bowl pick 'em games. ALL of them have running from the first game to the last. Our format should be the same in order to discuss W/L records with others w/o having to go back and add up the separate scores.

"What's your bowl record so far?"

"I'm 7 of 9"

"7 of 9? We are on game 24."

"I know, but we do it in groups of 10"

"What are y'all, GHEY?"

By starting a new contest for the bowls, it would give those that didn't do so well in the regular season picks a chance to redeem themselves. It might also encourage some that didn't participate in the regular season picks to join in the fun with the bowl picks and have a chance to win it. JMO

Why all this obsession with ghey? There are, by my count, 35 bowl games. I don't know about y'all, but I don't give a rat's butt about Arky State and N. Illinois, nor do I care to predict that game. There are easily 4 others like it. We could take 30 of 35 games and, yes, group them in 10's for you homophobes. The standard 5 to 25 e-creds could be given for each set of 10 games. Or, have one big round picking all 35 and disperse e-creds accordingly, 18-88.

I like the idea of the bowl games being inclusive of the regular contest, just as the bowl games count toward the final college football polls and national championship. JMHO.

ALL the bowls will be on TV. The What's-A-Mater U vs. Twoson State Penitentary Game will be more fun with a little something riding on it. BTW, I am on the fence on who to pick in the What's-A- Mater/Twoson game? What say you, two?

Whatsa-A-Mater U by 2 over Two.

Let's just award everyone near the top a friggin trophy  and e-cred bundle, then have a competition.  

This is stupid.

Whew, I'm getting my game face on already, and it's 5 weeks away yet.

Better pace yourself, Chech, before you have an e-stroke.

I voted for grouping them in batches of 10, but we will need to make the picks for all games at the same time since there will be multiple games on at the same time, particularly on New Year's day. We're kind of used to the 10 game scenario plus it will give everyone more opportunities to place or win.

Ghey^^^

Too, Two.

Not!

Tutu to you too.

CB?

CB, you gonna take that?

People who let persons in South Carolina steal their alternators do not concern me in the least.

  No offense, WV, but that was pretty funny.

[bama87]

Let's set it up for all the games at once.

[2Stater]

Let's set it up for all the games at once.

Looks like the poll is leaning that way.

[Marshal Dillon]

Let's set it up for all the games at once.

Bingo! That's the normal American way, not the San Francisco quiche-eating, let's pick a few at a time way.
