EO Bowl Pick'em Week 1 - Due Saturday 12/16

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

you're picking against the spread

only games we're using are games with at least 1 top 25 / p5 team
