This competition will work like several of the others we have been doing here on BGR. Members will pick who they think will win the games, each game counts for a set amount of points, and the winner is the member with the most points.
The winner of this competition will receive a custom user title - "BGR Bowl Challenge Champion" and +40 reputation points, 2nd place will receive +25 reputation points, 3rd place will receive +15 reputation points, and 4th place will receive +5 reputation points.
We will be doing this competition in 3 sections because it may be difficult to have to pick a game that is 5 weeks away. Afterall, 2 weeks before the National Championship game, who knows, Perriloux might break his leg or something.
So there will be three separate lists, each with different deadlines.
1st list - 11 bowl games
2nd list - 11 bowl games
3rd list - 10 bowl games
SCORING
Scoring will be as follows:
each non-BCS bowl game correctly picked = 2 points
each BCS bowl game correctly picked = 5 points
National Championship game correctly picked = 10 points
*Each member must post what they predict will be the score of the National Championship game; this will be used to determine a tie-breaker if necessary.
The first list will be comprised of the following games:
