Let's Go Bowling
Back for an 8th season, College Bowl Mania is ready for your participation. Follow all 32 bowl games from here! ESPN has all the angles covered in our in depth 2006-07 Bowl coverage.
How to Play
Bowl Mania is simple to play. Create your entry and then select the winners of each of the bowl games listed through the National Championship in January. In addition to selecting the winners you will also be asked to assign a confidence value to each bowl game. The higher the confidence you assign to a bowl game, the more points you will earn if you have selected the winning team. The entry with the highest number of points will be our grand prize winner! For a more detailed breakdown, visit our How to Play section.
Rolling Lock
To maximize your chances at earning points, be sure to enter the Promotion and submit your selections no later than the kick-off of the first bowl game, currently scheduled for 8:00 pm December 19, 2006 in San Diego, CA. Please read section 5-4 of the rules for more information regarding the rolling lock.

Actually I missed that part of the exam professor, but since it was the first game, it was number 1 out of 32 :).
Most of them I left alone though, except for like 5 games I feel are my leadpipe locks.

wow, you dropped the ball. you have a ranked team going against a team that stood no shot. i am proud to say i am 1-0 with 32 points. get to ranking those confidence points. you dont want all your 25-32 points on the high tier bowl games. alot of those could go either way

I see, it works the other way. Yes, 95% of the bowl games are toss ups, but you took quite the risk on a team from the MWC. Granted they won big, but Wolfe from S. Illinois is a good player. Congrats though.
I still have 31 more bowl games to make that up as well, and I just fixed my mistake(well second one, first was skipping the confidence picks entirely, which is why it was just left as default). Thanks though, I don't know why I thought it was the other way.
Actually some of my locks come from the bigger bowl games.

that's crzy talk that it was a risk to load up 32 points onthis game. you have a ranked team here & a huge point spread. the outcome came out exactly as planned. you will not beat me

We have some trash talkin' going on!! Loving it!
JB, I hope this wasn't you're only smart pick. You better check your list again...
You don't want to organize a league and then lose...that would look bad.
David...I wouldn't tell you to give up now...maybe "Concede" is a better word.
-
like what they said in fight club, IN TYLER WE TRUST,
trust me here, i have some tricks up my sleeve. im just not trying to win here but to take up the flat screen tv from ESPN!

You talking about conceding? We talking about conceding. (In my best AI voice).
I don't concede anything, and why would I give up after one of 32 games.

Cheaters never win ;D
And about the TCU game. I was actually more confident in that than most my other picks. However, just because a team is ranked, and is favored in vegas, means crap. I guarantee you a ranked team later this bowl season will be favored big, and play like they don't care/lose.
We need a playoff anyway. Furthermore, the spread for USC-Texas was 7-8 points most of the way last year. We(being my Horns) were the easiest betting win all bowl season with that.
But again nice pick, we'll see where you stand after 32 rounds of body blows, however. ;D

oh, Tyler! You can't take that in your house.

JB, I see that we both had UCLA to win last night. Though, it looks like you had a little more confidence in them than I did. The tortoise inches closer.

FSU has no offense all year and they put up 44 on a team that held usc to 9 points. Makes no sense, I tell you.
-
Lotta games today, should mix up the standings a bit. ;D I'm pretty happy to be in 7th (right now anyway). I'm doing better than I thought I would.
-
1st place with 3 games to go! if i win all my 3 remaining games, i take 1st! i cannot lose a game though. looks like davidfell onhis face! maybe you'll contend when we have our march madness challenge!
-
Way to go JB! Nevada and Oaklahoma killed me with their losses! The irony is that both of them lost by only 1 point. Together that would have been 46 more points. Though, that's why you gotta love college sports, anything can happen.
-
i did not join this challenge, but did anyone else see that whoopin LSU put on those leprechauns last night. GEAUX TIGERS
-
Don't kick us when we're down pburke. Too soon, too soon.
-
sorry brother. nothin' personal. i actually like notre dame. but i bleed purple and gold.

I wasn't rooting for them, only betting that they would win.

Then stop putting undeserving teams into elite bowl games. Notre dame has no team speed and I called this game from the start. 41-14 proves my point.
Join a conference already. You don't deserve a separate TV deal anymore, nor this exclusive BCS rule. Notre Dame is not the mecca of college football, and once the school realizes that, they'll be better off.
-

I am a Horn but I'd like to extend my thank you/congrats to your tigers for exposing ND as the perpetual fraud they are.
I said this game would be a blowout and sure enough I was right.

Whoa, get kicked in the nuts by a leprochan lately?
The thing that everyone forgets is that bowl games are not about the game, they're about the MONEY! That's why they need a playoff versus this bowl crap!

I support a playoff fully.
Tyler, ND is not the ND of the past. They haven't been in two decades. And they get country club treatment from the NCAA. An exclusive TV deal that they don't have to share with other teams, and the notre dame rule in the BCS where if they win 9 games, they automatically are eligible to get their ass kicked in a BCS game.
Sorry, you better believe that crap pisses me off. Because it steals a spot from a more deserving school, and the days of the domers being the mecca of college football are over.
They have had chance after chance to join a conference(big 10) and they won't because of this country club treatment for a program that is a shell of itself. The NCAA needs to grow some cajones and step in and force them to join a conference.
You're right, I hate ND with a passion(not the fans or the university, just the football program). Because of all this extra treatment they get that they don't deserve. Plus they get ridiculous love in the polls when they don't deserve it. And yes, I wanted to take mich st and ucla out and kick their asses for not finishing the domers off when they had the chance.
I knew going in they had no team speed, and that LSU would maul them. But let the BCS continue to give them a free pass. They'll continue to get embarrassed for the nation to see just like they did at USC, vs Ohio St last year and LSU last night.
The longer they get undeserved bcs games, the longer their record 9 game bowl losing streak continues.
-
I hear ya David. I also think there were more deserving teams of a bowl game than ND, but I blame that on the BCS and the greed behind the bowl games, not so much Notre Dame. If ND didn't draw so many fans and earn so much money, they wouldn't be allowed to have the deals they have.

Oh the NCAA is worse, with all the silly rules they have regarding student athletes.

david, i cannot lie i have thrown the horns up myself. especially when they beat usc. sorry t. just feel like usc is overrated.

I use to like SC before last year. ESPN made me hate them with their irresponsible coverage before the game. Then matt leinart basically says we got lucky in his postgame interview.

Outside of Pac-10 teams, Texas is my favorite team. I would root for them anyday they weren't playing a Pac-10 team.
If you hate USC because of the pedestal they were put on by ESPN, then you have to hate the Big 10 and Big 12 conferences. ESPN does the same thing with those conferences and always craps on the Pac-10, citing that USC is the only worthy team in the Pac-10.
You can't deny the fact that USC crushed Mich. in the Rose Bowl. Now when Florida loses really bad, you're going to see that USC should have played Ohio, despite their loss to UCLA.
-

Yeah, I live in OK, but I went to O State. Hate OU.

i say we give usc a schedule like florida or lsu. something in the sec. then when they return to cali crying like little girls, the world will know the truth.

I didn't see espn anoint other teams the best team of all time before they had even won the national championship. And on top of that, they clearly had a major effect in the heisman race as they harped on reggie's 500 yards vs fresno st for a full few weeks. Vince did the same thing at Ok St, earlier in the year, and it was dropped after a few days. And reggie got to count kickoff yardage in his. That is ridiculous. And what was worse was the media didn't care when fresno lost out after USC to mediocre WAC teams.
It has nothing to do with SC being good, it had to do with the attitude where should we put 2005 USC among the greatest teams ever, before they played the national title. It was the most slanted/biased coverage of a national title game I've ever witnessed. They acted like we were vince and the 21 other dwarfs. And it was sweet vindication to watch ESPN squirm when we won the game.
Now I won't say USC isn't on my short list of teams I like(michigan and miami the others besides texas) but last years coverage of our showdown affected how I feel about them. But what I really should say is I despise ESPN. I still like the aggressive nature of the USC offense, and the style they play.
And like I said earlier, enough of this subjective stuff, settle it with a playoff on the field. I also think pete carroll is one of the best college coaches ever.
