I DIDNT COME IN LAST!!! at 6-14 someone did worse than me!!!!!! YAY!
and that person was not me.

Thank goodness the first half is over.

Boise state just proved why they should never be in a Power 5, and Washington State showed how bad the PAC 12 really is.

Yea @oaknightshockey1 saved me by going 5-15.

My wife who does not pay a lot of attention was asking how/why a 10-2 team was playing a 6-6 team. It is amazing how bad BSU was dominated by Baylor.

Looks like I'm starting off the second set the same way I finished the first. Looks like it's gonna be 0-2. West Virginia was supposed to come in burning couches but they brought their LazyBoy instead.

I think the best i counted before i stopped counting past my total wins was 13-7
for the 12-17 pickems that is. so far i am starting off opposite of the way i started the 12-17 on my 12-28, i went 0-7 to start previously i am off to a 4-0 start.

Hooray, I will have a winning record on the Bowl Pick Ems. Doesn't matter if I get USC and Oklahoma wrong.

Buying my ticket for Lost Wages tomorrow so I can collect my real live football winnings and my father's ashes. They say I can carry my Dad's ashes on the plane. Should be interesting doing that.

Gobigred, I think if you finish above .500 for bowl games it is pretty good. The matchups are supposed to be close and overall I think the bowls choose pretty well.

I have come to the conclusion that no matter what, there will be a lot of crappy bowls to try and grab money. And all my bitching won't make it go away. I just won't attend certain bowl games even if they select Nebraska. Hello Pinstripe. Because of its relationship to Dan Nero Beebe.

If I can read and add, I went 23-17.

Teams that I thought would win and lost
West Virginia
Michigan
Louisville
Ohio State
Temple
Boise State

If I would have been in Las Vegas I would have put real money on West Virginia and Boise State. Thank goodness I was home.

The rest of the games for me were tough choices.
