    • Note: foxsports only offers 25 bowls to pick, cutting 7 of the more extraneous choices.

      • I is in!

        Sneaky though, a point spread AND a confidence pick!

        • My understanding is that we are picking the winners, NOT against the spread.

          • Nope, it IS against the spread. Tricky indeed. If anyone can find a site that allows groups but doesn't make you pick against the spread, now is the time...

                So Michigan would be favored by 1.5 points on a neutral field.

                ACK!
                No doubt. But the Rose Bowl is not a neutral field for USC.

                  Yeah, that's right.

                        Still no odds on Florida - Ohio State. I'd say, OSU by 7. If that is the line, essentially the public is stating their belief that if Florida and Michigan would meet on a neutal field, Michigan would be favored - by about 4.

                          • I'm trying to figure out how to make my selections.
                            I have time to complete them, I just need to focus.
                            Maybe I'll call in a spiritualist.

                            EDIT: That broke the code. Picks made.

                            • I have signed up, but I just kind threw in the confidence picks.

                              ACK!
                              Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                                I'm confused. The line is 8.5 points, but I only gave you 8. As I understand it, I am doing 0.5 point better than the collective wisdom of the line.
                                I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
