ESPN Bowl Challenge

Unread post by AppSt94 » Sat Dec 17, 2016 7:25 am

Happy Game Day Everyone!

Did anyone play ESPN's Bowl Mania where you pick the winner of each bowl game and then rank them 1-42 in order of your confidence in the outcome? If so, I was curious where you picked the Camellia Bowl. I picked App to win (of course) and I assigned it a 9. 1 being the least confident and 42 the most. Enjoy the day.

Ok I played the other way but app has a very tough bowl game the matchup is one of the best not if the best bowl game of the G5 schools so I'm heading. To mountgomery right now to see them play I made big cardboard cutouts look for a white A that has the last s below the last letter R go app

I just played the straight version of the bowl challenge this year. I picked App State in the head to head game and I pray that we win. If I would have played the confidence version, I think I would have been around 9 range also. Not that I don't have confidence in App State, but we are in one of the most evenly match bowls out of the 42 this year with Toledo at 9-3 also.

Did you look at the ESPN Streak for the Cash game? We are currently at 60.7% being picked by the game participants to win. I imagine it will get closer to even by kick off. Also, ESPV has it at even with Toledo at 50.3% favored.

We are heading to the tailgate now. GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!
Give Em Hell!!

It wasn't as much that I am that confident in a win but as I started moving games around I saw 8 other matchups that seemed to be closer. Good luck to you. Go Apps!
