Baddest Bowl Pick 'Em Ever - Version 9.0

Welcome to the 9th Annual Baddest Bowl Pick 'Em Ever!  I'm still in recovery mode from Saturday night's drubbing of Wisconsin.  It's not that I celebrated too much.  I just felt so bad for the Badgers that I ate a whole block of Colby Jack yesterday and my system is pissed off at me. 

Meanwhile, the powers that be decided that Bowl Season wasn't complete without South Alabama & Bowling Green so I had to accommodate several new bowl games this year.  Check out the Camillia Bowl, Boca Raton Bowl, Bahamas Bowl, Miami Beach Bowl, and the Quick Lane Bowl, all in their inaugural seasons.

Rules haven't changed, but I'll reiterate them here anyhow:

Entry fee is $10 and there is no limit on the number of forms you can submit.

Preferred payment method is two crisp five dollar bills. You can also PayPal me at

kjcarter@gmail.com or send me a check to:

Kenon Carter
6087 Varwyne Dr.
Dublin, OH 43016

Please try to have forms to me by Friday, December 19th at 6:00 PM EST. I will accept forms up until kickoff at 11:00 AM Eastern on the 20th, but prefer to have them a little in advance.

Rules are as follows:
Pick the outright winner of all 39 Bowl Games (no point spreads), including the BCS National Championship game.
You will assign confidence points to each selection. Assign 39 points to the pick with which you are MOST confident. Assign 1 confidence point to the pick with which you are LEAST confident.
The participant with the most points WINS!
S/he who finishes last will win the Angie Guidi Lack of Achievement Award, which is really hard to do. I encourage you to submit a secondary form in an attempt to finish dead last. Harder than you think, tough guy.
Payouts will be contingent upon the number of participants and announced on Saturday, December 20th. 

Last year's winners:

Kenon Carter - $500
Rob LaCommare - $295
Angie Guidi - $175
James Skidmore - $100
Tim Earley - $50
Angie Guidi Lack of Achievement Award -  Eric Hostetter
