Here are the Group29 picks for the 2012 bowl season.
The following is a list of this year s games - all 35 of them.
For this year s tiebreaker, our group is using the ESPN method of assigning a confidence number to each game. Once one has picked all the games, they assign each game a number from 1 to 35, using each number once, and only once. The higher the number, the more confident one is that the pick is correct. 35 means you might bet your house and/or grandchildren that your pick will win, whereas a 1 means you have never heard of either team involved in the game and might as well have let your neighbors cat make the pick (or you feel the need to be loyal to your team but just know they are going to get smeared...). A correct pick then scores points equal to the confidence number, and at the end, any tie is won by the player with the most points.
To keep it interesting and in order to place value on the bigger, later games, ALL BCS GAMES (Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, & BCS Championship) MUST BE GIVEN A CONFIDENCE NUMBER OF AT LEAST 25!!
