Question Anyone be down for a buy-in bowl contest?

Something like $50 to get in? Only have about a week to get it lined up so we'd need to get some commitments fast.

I was thinking a confidence pool. Pick the winners, we can do SU or ATS, whichever would be preferred, and you rate each game 1-35 (35 bowl games is crazy btw). If you win, you get the number of points you assigned to that game. So you'd put 35 for the game you were most confident in, down to 1 for the least confidence. Have a tiebreaker with total # of points in championship game or all BCS games or whatever.

If we did ATS, we'd just use same lines and make sure they all had 1/2 points to keep from pushes.

Who would be in? Could we get enough to make it worthwhile? Maybe WP would play?

Just posted this in college football thread. Would be in and would prefer a confidence pool that was against the spread, not just picking winners. Obviously whatever the majority wanted would be fine.

Whatever amount ok with me.
