Game Thread: 2017 Capital One Bowl Mania

I'm now solidly in the lead for the "straight picks" section.

I'm just as surprised as you are.

Still on the first page

15-11 on straight picks entry. Having had to create a new entry late for the Hoop group, games already played were populated as misses in 1 - 7, 28 pts in the hole. My correct picks have only garnered 251 pts to date. I guess that's why my entry was kicked out of the group.

 

[ElTexan]

92% 439 points. That’s after starting after the first three bowls.

Sitting at 542 after Oklahoma win.

Right now I'm #1 with 27 points, 2 possible points remaining. The number 2 person has 25 with 2 ppr. I am guaranteed at least a tie for #1.

I am still super surprised by all of this.

Oh good, I have no regret on not joining this.

Apparently I already won mine IRL with 26 but I had Georgia playing Clemson. The FEI was good to me this year and I just modified it a bit based on personal bias and personnel changes.

[Justin Tyme]

So who is espn20200547 1?

Looks like an Iowa fan.

They are the 'confidence' winner regardless of tonight's outcome.

 

[xpuctaqpGT]

I am the straight picks winner. i'm a point ahead of the next closest person and we both have the same pick for the championship game.

 

[pitman]

Finished 5th in the straight up and 12th in the confidence. Moved up from 18th to 12th with the 40 points I had on Bama.

Nationally, I finished 2590 out of about 700k entries.

Who is who is "espn202005471" that won the Confidence pickems?

Looks like an Iowa fan.

 

[wingsauce7]

Not sure who that is. I think both @iowajerms and @rmilia1 use their hoop handles on espn. Maybe it's the ghost of HRUF? Typically, Iowans aren't smart enough to finish first in stuff.
