College Bowl Mania - ESPN Pick'em

As an added bit of fun to brother Kayser's pick'em thread, I setup an ESPN College Bowl Mania private group (since BG is too lazy). Unlike Kayser's picks, there are no lines in this game. You just pick the winners and assign a confidence number from 1-35 for each game. You can wait to pick your games or change them up to kick off before they lock. If you don't have an ESPN account, it's easy to setup a free one.
College Bowl Mania on ESPN.com.
This game challenges you to select the winners of each of the NCAA college football bowl games. You can play with a Confidence scoring system (assign confidence points to your picks) or Straight scoring system (just pick the winners!). Best of all, the game is FREE to play!

I actually created my own league - it's $5 a person with 80% going to 1st place and 20% going to 2nd place. Several people from this board are in that league and there are around 30 people in it.
If anyone's interested, shoot me a message. I didn't want to disrupt the Panther247 one that's already created above though.

You do realize it's not mutually exclusive, right? There's no reason to not fill out a bracket on this site once you figure out which teams you want. Even a "lazy" guy could spend the extra five minutes it would take.

Gibby (and anyone else who hasn't signed up yet - that's right, I'm looking at you, BG, Smegs, and Blank), you do realize that you only have two + days to make your picks, right?
Or, do you work better under pressure?

OK, happy now? I'm gonna change them before the first game anyway since I'm a last minute type of guy. And yes, work very well under pressure.
The Kayser picks will take more time. For sure last minute.
BTW, I dug the avatar pic up for you pal.... with your bird fetish and all.

Cool pic, & Fun Fact: A bite from a pelican doesn't hurt. I had to take a fish out of one's mouth once when he took a fish still on a hook / line.

Good eye, about a 2 footer. Was fishing with my wife's uncle, he caught it and tossed it over to the Pelican. It never did get it down.

8 for BYU, and 5 for SDSU in tonight's game. My guess is that BG will move into sole first place tonight.

Don't mess with the Hilltoppers. Why won't BG go on the ATS board?For the same reason, Ghost, Paco, Steel, Goadie, rKoh, The Finn,Croft, and Shruggs wouldn't go -----the fear of losing STREET CREDIBILITY. Meanwhile, Pappy and Son, Gibby, 008, Blanks, Smegma,BigNick the Tartan, J. Drama,, Phaser,,Pitt Dad, and the Jew of Antiquity(Kayser) are kicking the tushee out of Joe Pesci, De Niro,and the Soprano gang. The boys owe us mucho dinero( we also accept lira- anything but dollars).
