Apologies for not getting this up sooner but had some computer issues. Here we are again at my favourite time of the year - xmas and college football - fantastic
Keeping the rules simple: 1 point for getting the match odds correct and 1 point for getting the hcap correct. A bonus point for getting both right. For the very first playoff year I think we should add a little incentive to get those choices correct. So, 2 points will be available for the match odds and hcap line in the semis. 5 points available in the final on each line. Bonuses for getting both the ML and hcap right will also carry 2 and 5 points respectively. I figure this gives some incentive to anyone that is trailing towards the end of the comp and keeps it competitive.
Any questions, jut put them up here.
Here are the first bunch of games:
DEC 20
Nevada (-1.5) v Louisiana Tech South Alabama (-2.5) v Bowling Green Utah (-10.5) v UTEP Utah (-4.5) v Colorado State Western Michigan (-1.5) v Air Force
I'll start off with these picks:
Louisiana Tech ML and hcap Bowling Green ML and hcap Utah ML UTEP hcap Utah ML and hcap Air Force ML and hcap
Nevada (-1.5) v Louisiana Tech - Nevada ML and H'cap South Alabama (-2.5) v Bowling Green - South Alabama ML and H'cap Utah State (-10.5) v UTEP - Utah State ML and H'cap Utah (-4.5) v Colorado State - Utah ML and H'cap Western Michigan (-1.5) v Air Force - Western Michigan ML and H'cap
Best of luck everyone.

I have seen the two Utah teams a bit. But yeah, for the early bowls it's normally more guesswork lol. Just the 3 of us right now
Changing my Air force pick to Western Michigan ML and hcap. I think the comp runner will allow it

Apologies Hank for delay, entertaining family and friends the past few days, you know what it`s like. If any of the games have been already played, drop selection out, even although I don`t know scores

Wow what an ending. Central Michigan is down five touchdowns going into the fourth quarter, gets five TDs including a wild hail mary with no time left, only to lose after going for two and failing to convert.

thanks Rico88 ........... I was busy getting my laptop and missed the attempted 2 points.
surprised they didn't settle for OT.
THOUGH AFTER THAT COMEBACK THEY MUST HAVE THOUGHT THEY WERE ABLE TO WALK ON WATER !

Yeah I agree, they probably felt it was theirs for the taking at that point.
Personally I would've kicked the extra point and gone to OT. Sometimes I see the logic for going for the kill with the 2-point conversion, like if you're an inferior team, defense is tired, etc. But with the way that game was going, with Western Kentucky completely rattled (and with a bad kicker I may add - potentially a factor in OT), I liked the Chippewas chances in the overtime.
Ah well, great ending nonetheless. Love bowl games like that.
