    I don't know if I did the confidence points... I don't think I did.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      I don't like the dragging confidence level. I picked all the winners and then was fiddling around with the dragging and decided I didn't like it. I switched to classic (much easier for me) and it reset all my picks.

        When do we have to have these done by?

        Tonight? The first bowl games are tomorrow, right?

            I think I have the same picks in both groups, plus my ward one. But I have no idea about the point values.

              While Fresno St losing would destroy my CUF challenge, I can't help but cheer for the pokes in this one.

                Not really. Don't tell landpoke, but nary a soul had the Pokes winning. Only Jarid and Coach didn't have at least 20 confidence points wagered on the game (and most of us had at least 30).

                      It appears I was only seeing the first 10. If I'd known that, I would have cheered for Fresno!

                        My entry was sagely titled "PAC's Perfect Picks." As I am the only one to have picked nothing but losers thus far, I'm well on my way to perfection.

                          When this bowl season started, I wanted to get three picks right: Utah, TCU, and Alabama.

                          At this rate, those might be the only picks I get right. Holy smokes.

                            I had Temple in an upset with a confidence of one. Tha was looking really good at the half, but alas, not to be.

                              So far I'm 6 for 13. I guess at the time of picking my bowls I had very little faith in the MWC, saying both Wyoming and BYU would lose.

                                I'm only 13-12 but Second in our group and in the 92nd percentile, how is that right?
