    College Bowl Pick Em (College Football Postseason Discussion Thread)

    It's the most wonderful time of the year. When fans of any team not named Notre Dame or Alabama can dream about "What if," fans of little schools can dream about beating bigger schools who don't give a crap about the game they're playing in, and some schools can turn a great performance into a bowl game into a stronger pre-season ranking next year, and fans of 9-3 Louisiana Tech can scratch their heads and wonder "Wait, we didn't get into a bowl game because our AD didn't return a phone call?" It's College Football Bowl Season!

    (Sadly, this also means that College Football Saturdays are largely a thing of the past, and it's 9 more months until theBowl Pick Em group is open; I'll get a full writeup once the games are actually posted, but for those who care, you can register already.

    Bowl Pick Em is pretty simple. Pick the winners of all 35 bowl games. Then rank those games from 1 (least confident) to 35 (most confident). If you pick correctly, you get the corresponding amount of points; the team with the most points at the end wins.

    Group Name: Orderofthebluegartr
    Password: Northernillinois

    To enter, you'll need to register on ESPN.com, but you can disable spam e-mails if you're worried about it. All of them do have a grand prize of some sort if you finish first amongst all the thousands upon thousands of entries in the game, so you might want to use real contact information just in case.

    Also, please try to incorporate your BG handle somehow into your team name, or at least brag at the end that you won with your super creative team name so we can bestow you with all the accolades and everlasting respect you deserve by becoming the Grand Wizard of BG. Please note: if you don't use your name, please note that it's not my job to track through 50 pages of a thread to figure out who won the thing. I'll look at your name, maybe the last page or two of the thread to figure out who was bragging about it. If I get your name wrong on the list below, PM me and I'll fix it.

    ONE ENTRY PER PERSON

    There will only be one winner because ties suck, and in the event of a tie, I will use ESPN's tiebreakers for the grand prize to establish a group winner. I'm also going to be locking the contest after the first game so people can't move in or out. The first bowl game is Saturday, December 15th, so have your entries in before then.

    If you have any questions or trouble logging in, or just generally like to bitch, do so below.

    Yes. Yes, I did.

    By the way, I learned last weekend that Nicholls State, an FCS school in rural Louisiana, appears to have one white starter on offense -- their QB, whose last name is Klann. We couldn't stop giggling every time the PA announcer said his name.

    Glad that it doesn't look like Strong will be TN coach...really didn't want him there. lol He could actually turn that program around and I prefer it to stay mediocre and a source of comedy gold as long as I live in TN.

    You got your wish, he's coaching the rose bowl.

    Also, Gundy stays @ Okst, Strong stays UL

    If Barry goes 4-0 in the Rose Bowl they should enshrine him in the CFB hall of fame

    I'm kind of surprised and impressed with Gundy. He really loves Ok State, but he'd prob get around a mil a year more by going to the SEC.

    plus he could score the same amount of points as going 7-5 in the big 12 and get NC consideration and a possible heisman with 2 losses
