NCAA Football (BCS Bowl Games)

For the newbies, and the old farts that need a reminder, this is how it works: You leave a comment (I enabled the ability to leave anonymous comments, I think) and give me the final score of the game. Make sure you look at the spreads in the parenthesis and pay close attention to the +/- that applies to the first team listed (usually the visiting team). I take your final score and give points based on your answer. Scoring looks like this.

1 point for the winner and 2 points for the spread with bonuses for exact predictions:

0pts - You predict the wrong team to win outright and your score does not cover the spread.
1pt - You predict the correct team to win outright, but your score does not cover the spread.
2pts - You predict the wrong team to win outright, but your score does cover the spread.
3pts - You predict the correct team to win outright and your score does cover the spread.
5pts - You predict which team will win and your final score reflects the exact winning margin for that team.
10pts - You predict the exact final score of the game.

Deadlines are the kickoffs of each game so you can make predictions 1 at a time or all at once. Have fun.
