back in action, this year with a little twist. given the myriad of bowl games that no one gives a shit about (and time constraints), this years contests is restricted to only bowls involving one (1) power 5 team and / or one (juan) team in the top 25. this isn't a confidence pool, no one cares whether lane will cover a 3+ td spread.
all bowl games are worth 1 point unless they are a new years six bowl (2 points), a semifinal game (3 points) or the national championship game (4 points)
rules are subject to change at my discretion
Saturday 12/16
3:30 Las Vegas Bowl - Boise State vs. Oregon (-7.5)
Saturday 12/23
12:00 Birmingham Bowl - Texas Tech vs South Florida (-2.5)

so do the point spreads matter or not? i find your description to be vague and confusing and likely your method for change the rules later to claim victory for yourself and your list of towelhead names
now in the street there is violence
and, and a lots of work to be done
no place to hang out our washing
and, and i can't blame all on the sun
good god we gonna rock down to electric avenue
and then we'll take it higher

you're picking against the spread
only games we're using are games with at least 1 top 25 / p5 team
