We were supposed to pick the winners?!? I thought we were NOT picking the winners this time!:

I'm really glad I decided not to do this for the Bowl games, LOL
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
Ok. We've now completed a total of 22 Bowl games, with 11 more being played from 12/29 thru 12/31. And in this last "batch" of 11 games here's how everyone finished....
cumberlandreds, texasdave...... 2-9
Reds Fanatic..... 3-8
Slyder..... 4-7
BuckeyeRed27, GAC, Danny Serafini, Revering4Blue, Hoosier Red..... 5-6
The point spread really hasn't been a factor so far because a lot of the games have not been that close, or even blow outs. But the point spread in the Kansas State-Syracuse game did prove to be a factor..... BuckeyeRed27, Reds Fanatic, and Danny Serafini, all picked Syracuse; but they needed to win by 2.5 and only won by 2.
Slyder was the only one to pick Washington over Nebraska.
So, here are the updated standings heading into New Years Day....
And to all...Code:GAC, Revering4Blue 11-11 .500 Reds Fanatic 10-12 .454 Hoosier Red 7-11 .388 BuckeyeRed27 8-14 .363 Slyder 7-14 .333 Danny Serafini 7-15 .318 cumberlandreds, texasdave 5-17 .227

Wasn't Syracuse getting the points and won outright?
The Big-10 sure embarrassed themselves today.
Remind me to steer clear of Las Vegas around Bowl Time. =(

You're absolutely right. My mistake. Syracuse was the "weaker" team and getting 2.5 pts. I'll go back and make the adjustment when I update. Good catch.

I went back, double checked, and corrected my error in tabulation when it came to the Kansas State-Syracuse game. Winners in that game were - BuckeyeRed27, Reds Fanatic, and Danny Serafini, who all picked Syracuse. The rest of us were losers.
We've played 8 more games (30 total), taking us thru last night's Sugar Bowl. Here are the results so far, and I must say, most of us are doing much better, but again, that's because the point spreads really haven't been much a factor at all, and only in a few rare instances.
Feel free to double check my results. I've been doing it till I'm crossed-eyed. LOL

Here are the final results gentlemen. Auburn squeaked by with that field goal, beating the point spread (2.5), but Nevada needed to win by 10 since they were giving Boston College 9.5. We all got burned on that game.
Congratulations to Reds Fanatic.
It was a lot of fun. Looking forward to doing it again next year.

Thank you for all the work put into it.
Thanks GAC!
Just out of curiosity how did you score the Louisville vs. Southern Miss game. The line was Louisville -3 and they won by 3.
Thanks GAC! That's a lot of work keeping track of this every week.
