How To Play: This contest is similar to the weekly contests except participants will be picking all 34 college football bowl games. Enter the contest by clicking the banner image above. Participants will be asked to select the winners of each bowl game and enter confidence points for each game in the text boxes provided. A 34 would represent your most confident prediction and a 1 would represent your least confident prediction. Participants will also be asked to enter their National Champion's margin of victory for the BCS title game.
Each participant may submit up to one entry per contest and only two participants per IP address are permitted. Your latest entry will always overwrite any previous entry.
Scoring: Like weekly contests, scoring is based on win-loss record and ties in record will be broken by number of confidence points accumulated. The best record with the most number of confidence points out of all 34 games will be crowned the winner. The margin of victory bonus opportunity for the National Championship game will award up to 2 additional points if the correct winner is picked and depending on how close it is to the actual margin. It must be within 20 points of actual margin of victory to receive any bonus points.
Deadline to Play: TBA. Check here or in the forums for an official deadline in December.
