Bowl Game Pools - How'd you do?

Now that it's all done, how'd you finish?

Went 19-15 vs. The spread, all picked before the games started (so no latest lines or massaging the points). Don't feel too bad since I started 1-6. (Kinda finished 2-4 too. 8-2 on Jan. 1 & 2 helped).

Oh, and won my pool. How'd you do?

Is that your pool results??

Or a country-western song?

Or do you just have a really big pool and everything keeps falling in it?

Won! 20-14...made the picks as soon as the schedule was set...I started off terribly, but from Jan. 1 on I was near perfect, and I nailed the BCS games...my score for the title game was 35-17 Bama, came pretty close there...

Picked all Big Ten teams to win except OSU and MSU...

Went 19-12 against the spread

Went 19-12 against the spread (all games picked at beginning of bowl season) ... good for 18th place out of 155. Ga Tech and TCU did me in.

I did excellent.

I won both of the pools I was in on ESPN, although for some stupid reason I didn't put money on either of them.

On my straight up bracket, I finished 21-13 good for 97.1th percentile, the 7120th ranked bracket.

My confidence bracket was amazing, 98.6th percentile, 4765th rank. Which is hilarious because I was stupid and ranked all of my games backwards for confidence (that is, my most confident pick was worth 1 point, while my least confident was worth 34).

I started 1-6 as well, btw.

Nonsensical picks with an ounce of logical editing and went 26-8. Really wish our pool was more than $75 though... Oh well.

I did pretty well

21-10 (we didn't do it early enough to get the earliest 3 games) with my confidence being 358. Good enough for #1 out of 6.

Funniest part was that I had to fight off someone who did a random # generator for the crown.

17-17, really poor showing after having won the previous year. Some close games killed me, but some picks were just incredibly stupid.

Shockingly finished under .500

for the forth year in a row and yet I still believe I finished ahead of the ESPN crew.

23-9

We weren't picking vs. the spread, though. We were just picking the winners.

A couple weeks ago, I was in an NFL pool and went 14-1 on the weekend. The problem? TWO people went 15-0. That sucked.

They're threatening to have me castrated so that I don't pass on my unbelievably horrible bowl picking genes to any offspring. They say it'd be too cruel.
