When I signed up for this ESPN told me somebody already had my user name (probably me from sometime in the past) hence the use of my real name. Maybe it was playing incognito that helped me out. I also decided I had a better shot by leaving all the confidence points on the early games because I was having a much harder time picking the major bowl game matchups.

Now I'm looking forward to the Final Four pool in March!

Doug

DAMN fine job. I'm hoping Florida wins, the two points should move us into second place.

Alas, no 'nother win with Doug kicking everybody's rears in tenth gear. Wow.

But it was a HEYL of a LOT of FUN.

Again, CONGRATS.

Signed,

Hoping for Second Place. "sniff"

Didn't they have a second qb who COULD still throw?

Oregon's oline was brutal...

Miss goes crazy, and it's a tie at the end of the game, and the Troy coach goes very conservative, not trying to score, but running seconds off the clock intentionally.

And in overtime, S. Miss kicks a field goal, but the kick hits the upright. But it bounces in.

So, Troy gets their chance, they go conservative, they kick a field goal, but it's blocked.

Bye, 25 points. "sniff" These things are impossible to figure a lot of the time. But it's a heyl of a lot of fun.
