For those of you who have never played before it's an interesting contest. Each week ESPN highlights ten games. You pick the straight up winners, and then you rank your selections based on how confident you are in your pick. You top confidence pick nets you 10 points if you get it right. Your lowest confidence pick gets you 1 point. So it's more than just picking winners. Ranking your confidence in your pick is just as important.
There won't be any prize, because if we do that the SBN lawyers get all jittery and want me to write up all kinds of waivers and rules and crap. And they probably wouldn't let me participate. I guess they're running out of ambulances or something. So to the winner go bragging rights for the year.

I'm in and I'm wondering...
who will come in second?
I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
nah not me
I am a fan of putting 10 points on a huge upset every week just so I can brag that I called it.

I'm all in...
and the picks have been made. I don’t understand some of the betting trends of the other users on the WWL’s site, though…
It appears as though 70% of the public thinks Michigan will beat UConn…really??
Michigan up to 82%
It’s the Big East and Rich Rodriguez dominates the Big East. I’m expecting a repeat of last year, they’ll start out strong and then get thumped by any defense that can tackle, read not UConn and not ND.
Of course, I will be amused everytime they lose.

I don't know why I put myself through this every year...
I always suck. Last bowl season was just dreadful.
