2008 Bowl Pool

The annual college bowl pool returns for 2008.

Save your picks in the attached spreadsheet by entering the numbers of your choices in the yellow cells across the top, and email the file back to me.  Cost is 5 bucks and it is due December 22 (the earlier the better).  Feel free to distribute to others who may be interested.

Top 3 places will pay out, and last place will get their money back.  Some crappy bowl games have been left off the list intentionally (sorry Buffalo fans).

Happy New Year! January 1 Update 10:00AM

Through 16 games, George Collins has opened up a two point lead with an impressive 14 of 16 correct.  But with lots of New Year’s Day games still to play, and BCS games worth 2 points each, everything is still up for grabs.
