Bowl games start on Saturday morning December 20th. Be sure to get in your picks before then and adjust your confidence levels to maximize your overall points!
Any bowl games that stand out from the crowd? Who's your team? Lets get some chatter going?

I am in again - signed up the other day.
If I remember correctly from last year - all we have to make sure for the 20th is that we have those games picked correctly.
We can change games and rankings up until the day they go off, right?

Well it seems that there will be great odds to win this thing this year. In addition, it currently stands to see a new Hipbase College bowl mania champion! If anyone else wants in, they should make their picks today. I'm sure people should have a few extra minutes at lunch hour to complete their entry. Good luck everyone and enjoy the games!

Damn - I guess I am out.
I only picked 4 games so far - that is all I thought I had to - Pick the games that were played yesterday.
Now it wont let me pick any other games - I must be shut out!
I know last year I was able to change things up until the final week.
Unless I am doing something wrong - this year sucks for me.

There have been some really good games and performances. Some Highlights include Riley Skinner (Wake Forest) passing a perfect 11-11, and using his scrambling ability to create plays. Gartrell Johnson's (Colorado State) rushing dominance in the New Mexico Bowl. Both prospects may not get to play on Sundays in the future, but they certainly could turn out to be great CFL pickups.
Here are the standings thru the first weekend:
1 holmes Record:3-2 Points:73
2 Berent Record:2-3 Points:62
3 sullivand Record:2-3 Points:50
4 Skroeker Record:2-3 Points:40
5 kershaw Record:1-4 Points:32
6 grimes Record:1-4 Points:1

^ Awww crap I guess I should have read the instructions before submitting my picks. I took '1' to mean the game you had the most confidence in, and 34 to be the least. Evidently it is the opposite. There goes my title defense :nooooo

Hey - I still have some kinda out of the way chance in hell!
I remember last year being able to change games - I know it!
Oh well - at least as long as all the "home teams' win I could do OK. (I picked almost exclusively the right hand column just to make sure my 4 first day picks were in)
Oh and here is this years damn rule:
"and submit your entry no later than the first kickoff of the first game of the college football bowl season (Saturday, December 20, 2008 at 11:00 am ET) at which point the game will lock for all bowl games and no additional picks can be made."
