Might be off to a late start, but the games don't begin until Saturday.

Come one, come all. The more the merrier.

Just checked to see if anybody was doing this. Thanks, Ace.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be getting them all right this time, so I suppose my confidence points will be meaningless.

So far it's just Ace, Skoop and I.

I guess the rest of y'all are chicken or something.

Ah, but the Stanford Cardinal is a color, not a bird.

I did not know that. How silly of them.

Well then, they could only beat the Cleveland Browns.

I'm in. I predict disaster. I'll get a lot of games right but my points will be terrible.

My totally random entry is in.... though I am a bit upset that moving the confidence points required two clicks. I like randomly shuffling the games, and it was so much easier when the games could just be drug up and down the screen as in past years...

The games are played. The Seminoles are the National Champs.

Lonster is OUR winner. Great job.

Thanks to everyone who participated. Maybe we have more players next year.

BTW: Lonster is my twin son.

Man, did I stink this year. I actually took some time and picked who I honestly thought the winners would be, at least in the cases of the 15 or so games where I had heard of the teams before. I thought I was bad in fantasy football, but this is even worse.

Wait til next year!

Congratulations to Lonster. I had figured that I might be better off if my team would have lost last night, and that turned out to be the case. Still wouldn't have won, though. Would've been 2nd to BiT.

Oh well, at least I didn't get beaten by a girl.

Thanks for doing this, Ace.

And as could be expected, I won 18 of the 35 games and finished in the 44th percentile overall. You can't get much more random than that....

Would "someone" be kind and follow the link in the OP to set this up for this year's bowl games?

I have limitied access to "fantasy" sites so I'd be a bad administrator.

Thanks!
