12/15/2010 8:11:44 PM

you did

12/15/2010 8:12:06 PM

it looks like defenestrate won last year, according to the old thread

12/15/2010 8:13:23 PM

I'm in, you all are going down.

12/16/2010 11:18:32 AM

been in a while but finally picked

12/17/2010 10:30:48 PM

I am clearly running away with this thing, just had to get my 2 losses out of the way early

12/18/2010 8:29:22 PM

shit im locked out...

12/18/2010 8:31:58 PM

thank you fresno st getting be started on the wrong foot

12/18/2010 10:43:22 PM

Well, I'm officially getting it handed to me already. Too much confidence in these teams I knew little to NOTHING about.

12/18/2010 10:51:58 PM

I'm glad I did not participate in this crap. I'd be 1-2 right now. What a bunch of boring fucking games to kick off bowl season.

12/19/2010 9:57:44 AM

3-0

surprised some people had troy with even more confidence points than I had (27)

But maybe some were too lazy to move that game down

12/19/2010 10:46:17 AM

I hope it comes down to a tiebreaker.

sounds like you are bored by things that you don't expect to happen

What he meant was:

I'm glad I did not participate in this crap. I'd be 1-2 right now. losing.

12/19/2010 3:56:01 PM

I kept BYU at the top because they were 12 pt favorites and UTEP had lost like 5 in a row. Northern Illinois was pretty high for me as well since I picked them quite a bit in the pointsspread challenge and they only lost once for me. (Even though they had an interim head coach).
Oh and I try to keep up with Troy, solely due to the fact that D. Ware went there...

[Edited on December 20, 2010 at 9:48 AM. Reason : .]

12/20/2010 9:46:46 AM

Only 2 points for me...I suppose that's justified based on the 0 time I spent looking into the picks.

12/20/2010 11:41:33 AM

whats the over/under on the "knew nothing about"/"no time researching" excuse ITT?

If there was money at stake, sure, I'd bother spending time looking at where to put the Army bowl game...if only bragging rights are at stake, then fuck spending much time beyond taking a cursory look at some blurbs or guides.

12/20/2010 12:13:02 PM

well fuck you hawai'i if you're gonna play like this

12/24/2010 9:19:21 PM

i think we can all agree, the best entry name in the group is $$$$$$$UNC CHEAT$$$$$$$

12/24/2010 9:34:31 PM

hawaii has 6 turnovers in the first half

12/24/2010 9:55:38 PM

damn i had them as a 32 confidence? whatever

[Edited on December 24, 2010 at 11:10 PM. Reason : ]

12/24/2010 11:09:57 PM

i had them at 31. wtf was i thinking?

12/24/2010 11:47:02 PM

Tulsa +25

12/25/2010 9:27:44 AM

with that game, none of us are perfect

12/25/2010 12:41:02 PM

yeah, definitely had hawaii high on the confidence level. oops!

12/25/2010 12:41:41 PM

damn, picked Hawaii to win, with 28 confidence points

I'm 4-3 so fa, biggest confidence points games:

Boise State win - 34 points
BYU win - 19 points
Hawaii loss - 28 points

12/25/2010 8:04:11 PM

nice, the jinx worked

12/28/2010 9:55:40 PM

should have put more than 3 points on us.

12/28/2010 10:21:53 PM

lol i thought it was 4 ... double win!

oh i had Air Force beating GT as the 3 pointer (you were talking about you!)


all you confident homers hurt my standing in the group

12/28/2010 10:24:03 PM

yeah, my bad. i was talking about me.

no kidding.

12/28/2010 10:53:48 PM

at least only 1 of our group picked WV

only 3 of us got Iowa right

[Edited on December 29, 2010 at 1:14 AM. Reason : and just two of us picked ECU for tomorrow..]

12/29/2010 1:11:46 AM

jesus i'm bad at this

12/30/2010 3:08:16 PM

did anyone in our group pick washington over nebraska last night??

i had 34 confidence points on nebraska.

12/31/2010 12:47:07 PM

definitely not me.

i had 35 on nebraska. oops

12/31/2010 12:47:46 PM

i have my 35 on oklahoma... hopefully they don't continue the Big 12's 'shit the bed' theme this year.

12/31/2010 12:49:42 PM

33 on nebraska here

12/31/2010 12:49:55 PM

yeah, somehow, without those points, my overall percentage went from 5x.x% to ~60% overall. so apparently that hammered just about everyone.

EDIT: on a good note, i have south florida at 17 pts and they are up 17-3 on clemson right now.

[Edited on December 31, 2010 at 1:04 PM. Reason : clemson]

12/31/2010 12:52:22 PM

i had 31 on brasky
