This winter, I decided to play ESPN's College Bowl Mania with some friends. You sign up for an account and and group, then pick the winner of each of the 35 college bowl games. Then you rank the games in the order of your confidence in those picks from 35 points all the way down to 1 point. My strategy was to pick the teams that I liked, Big East teams, or the team with the better record. The 1st game was on December 17. Highlights of my picks include WVU beat Clemson 70-33 where I received 27 points, Baylor beat Washington 67-56 for 34 points, and Cincinnati beat Vanderbilt 31-24 for 33 points. My win percentage was only 44.7% whereas a majority of others in the group had 90%. Today was the last bowl game, Allstate BCS Championship Game, Alabama vs LSU, where Alabama won 21-0. Therefore, the College Bowl Mania game is now over. My group had 9 players and I came in 8th place. Matt came in 1st place. Our group all threw in $10 each, winner takes all ($90), sounds like Matt should be taking me out to a nice dinner!
What did you do today?
