I have a speadsheet that I can use to run a bowl pick'em contest if anyone is interested.

The way the game works is:

There are 29 bowl games so each person will have a confidence score to apply to each game. The more confident the higher the points (29 points to 1 point). So if you absolutely sure Utah will kill Pitt give it 29 points, if you think Miami will beat Florida but your not positive give it maybe 8 points.

All you have to do is pick the winner, no spreads. If you get the game right you get the number of confidence points you selected added to your score.

If your interested post you picks here. Please do the picks in this order:

Wyndham New Orleans
Champs Sports
GMAC
Plains Capital
Pioneer PureVision
Sheraton Hawaii
MPC Computer
Motor City
Independence
Insight
EV1.net
MasterCard Alamo
Continental Tire
Emerald Bowl
Pacific Life Holiday
Silicon Valley
Gaylords Hotels Music City
Vitalis Sun
AutoZone Liberty
Chick-fil-A Peach
Outback
SBC Cotton
Toyota Gator
Capital One
Rose
Tostitos Fiesta
Nokia Sugar

Just one question. It's about the confidence points. Let's say I'm equally confident that Louisville will beat Boise State and that Michigan will beat Texas. Can I use 10 points for both games, or can I only use each amount of points(1-29) once?

You can only use each point 1 time. Sorry I wasn't clear.
