College Bowl Pickem Available

10:40 PM ET on 12/15/14 by Jay Soester

The original website game is back for its fifth incarnation. College Bowl Pickem is now available.

Use the "Sign Up" link on the game page to participate. From there, you'll need to go to the "Submit Your Picks" page to submit your pre-deadline picks for all 35 bowls as well as your five easiest and five toughest picks. The deadline for pre-bowls entries is 10:57 AM ET on Saturday, December 20th. You're scored based on your predicted winner for each game, your five easiest and toughest picks and your predicted conference records.

New this year is score predictions. You'll be scored on your predicted score for each bowl game, in the same fashion as College Football Pickem. You can change your score prediction up to the kickoff of each game. Simply go to the "Submit Your Picks" page and then "Submit Game Score Picks".

If you come across any problems, please let me know via the game thread. I'm still working to update the rules page and the standings pages.

Next on the list of games to be made available are Fantasy Golf and Fantasy NFL Playoffs.

College Bowl Pickem Results

11:26 PM ET on 1/12/12 by Jay Soester

Congrats to Doug Gehr for winning the 2011-2012 edition of College Bowl Pickem with 126 points. That's 23 points better than the previous high score since the game has been moved to the website. The previous two editions of the game have only seen five members top 100 points. This season saw 29 reach the century mark with 11 reaching 100 from game picks alone. Andrew Reynolds and Jeffery Murowsky were next in line at 120 points with Gianfranco Lintas and Aaron Freeman rounding out the top five at 118 points. Reynolds, Murowsky and Mike Brekke topped everyone with a record of 27-8 over the 35 bowl games. Bryan Crouch's 23-11 was the previous best mark in 2009-2010. Gehr propelled himself to the top thanks to picking eight of the eleven conferences' records correctly and matching those records with the correct ranking. Those 18 points doubled the previous high score from conference pick points. He also tied for the top spot in EZ/TF pick points with eight out of a possible 20.

Despite finishing with the most points and the most points from conference and EZ/TF picks, Gehr earned the second most championship points from the game at 24, 0.18 behind Andrew Reynolds. Reynolds earned the most points from finishing second overall and having a pick record that was two games better than Gehr's.

The championship standings pages are now updated to reflect the results. Current leader, Jay Soester, finished 30th, allowing those behind him the opportunity to gain some ground.

The first unofficial game of the 2012-2013 season is now available. All participants will earn bonus points for participating which will eventually turn into championship points once a limit is determined at the end of the season.
The game will be run through the league message board again for its second incarnation, but will feature a few tweaks:

Instead of covering eight tournaments with a player usage limit of three, the game will cover ten tournaments this season with the player usage limit upped to four. The Australian Open and BNP Paribas Open will be the added tournaments, with the game running until the US Open again this season.
The points system will feature equal points per tournament instead of weighting the majors this season, but the bonus points for picking an underdog have increased.

Susan Gantz will again be handling the game. If you have any questions before participating, reply to the game thread. In order to participate, you'll need to reply to the game thread with your player selections before each tournament. Usage limits, standings and rules will all be updated within the game thread.
