I was numero uno after that Duke win, but flailed on the Neb/UCLA debacle, but I enjoyed my brief stay on top.

Man, I'm kickin diddy and phans ass.
:lol:
But notice that all three of us have a higher ceiling of possible points than the leaders. We left our highest confidence point games for the end of the bowl season.

The leader, Sas, has won 12 games. I've won 11. The difference the weight of the picks. We have much more on the line in later games.

While the lazy strategy of not rearranging your confidence picks can pay dividends if you hit a lot of games late in bowl season, I've found that putting the obvious choices at the top and iffy choices at the bottom is still the way to go.

I've managed to sidestep most of the landmines this year, save for Utah St. choking against Akron and UCLA doing the same against Nebraska. 5 of my missed games were single digit points.

I never said I didn't rearrange my picks. I didn't feel like that any of the early games warranted a high confidence factor. Generally I find the early games the hardest to predict. There were several later games that I dropped down quite bit. All in all, this strategy keeps me in it longer with heavily weighted games at the end. The big games are even more fun to watch with more on the line.

Anyone pick Houston?

I checked. Nearly everyone has FSU for big points. So it doesn't matter if they wine. Go Houston!
