Bowl Game Prediction Game

[Zurp]

This is a game I created a few years ago, and I figure I'll try to expand to let people from Buckeye Planet play, too. Here's how it works:

Predict the scores of all of the bowl games. And not just, "Fiesta Bowl 24-21." You have to say "Ohio State 24, Notre Dame 21." Or whatever your prediction is. Do that for all the games. Based on how accurate your guess was, you get a certain number of points. Points are bad.

1. If you picked the wrong team to win, you get 5 points right away.
2. For every point you were off in the margin of victory guess you had, you get 0.2 points.
3. For every point you were off in the total score, you get 0.1 points.

So if you picked Texas to win 21-20, and USC wins 21-20, you get the 5 points for picking the wrong team, you get another 2 x 0.2 points for the margin of victory, but you had the total score right, so you got 5.4 points for that game.

I need your picks by 8:00pm, December 20 (first bowl game). Whoever has the fewest points after all the games, gets my guarantee that I won't pee on you for at least a year.

Here's the bowl game schedule, as I have it:

Do you just want the picks in this thread. I think that we should all throw in 50 vCash and winner takes all.

Well I still got to make quite a few posts or win a bet just to get up to 50. I was moving up until I went all in on Denver yesterday.
