Is anyone interested in playing in a College Football Bowl Pool? When I lived up north, we had a couple hundred people (men and women) play every year. The underdog team is given a points spot and you pick a team to win. It was lots of fun and it made the bowls fun to watch or keep track of. This year there are 35 games, which seems way too many but it makes the pool more interesting.
Example of part of the pool:
NEW MEXICO BOWL ARIZONA (7-5) vs NEVADA (7-5) + 7 1/2
IDAHO BOWL UTAH STATE (10-2) vs TOLEDO (9-3) +7 1/2
POINSETTIA BOWL BYU (7-5) vs SAN DIEGO ST (9-3) + 2 1/2
BEEF O'BRADY BOWL UCF (9-4) vs BALL STATE (9-3) + 7 1/2
LAS VEGAS BOWL BOISE STATE (10-2)vs WASH(7-5) + 4 1/2
I tried to set one up with my neighbor friends but no one seems interested. If we had some interest, I have already made a sheet for this (that could be emailed to you) but we don't have a lot of time as the first game is this Sat (15th). To get more time to set this up, we can also eliminate the 2 games on 12/15 which would give us until 12/20.
If you have any interest, PM me . I would make up a sheet with everyone's picks so you can see how you and everyone else is doing. If it's ok to say this on this site, we could put in $5 for each sheet submitted and give 75% to the most wins and 25% to most losses (I do not want anything for myself for doing this).
