After the Quick Lane Bowl

I had to go into work today, so I totally whiffed on watching any football.  It looks like I didn't miss much, as both of the favorites won, and it looks like they won pretty handily.  It was such a rout today, that 32 people went 2/2 and the average amount of points gathered up by the group was 37.  The average amount of points lost today was a measly 6, so there wasn't much movement in the standings.

Here are the overall point totals:

 

1. Brad R.: 426 (-225)

I was looking at the net point standings, and it looks like I'm doing pretty well.  I don't want anyone to think I'm cheating, so here's my picks for the remaining games:

California	27
Baylor	2
Colorado State	17
LSU	31
Memphis	8
Mississippi State	23
Texas A&M	6
Wisconsin	1
Florida State	29
Clemson	7
Alabama	40
Tennessee	39
Florida	3
Ohio State	26
Stanford	30
Mississippi	41
Georgia	28
Arkansas	36
TCU	5
Arizona State	9
Clemson	30

We are down to 2 more days before I can calculate some odds of winning this thing, and there are 4 games tomorrow and another 4 on Wednesday.  Here are the particulars about tomorrow's games:

Arizona Bowl:

Colorado State: 35 (average points = 18.74)

Nevada: 9  (average points = 15.56)

The median pick is Colorado State for 15 points.

Armed Forces Bowl:

California: 38  (average points = 25.55)

Air Force: 6  (average points = 6.17)

The median pick is California for 25.5 points

Russell Athletic Bowl:

North Carolina: 27 (average points = 19.96)

Baylor: 17  (average points = 17.65)

The median pick is North Carolina for 10.5

Texas Bowl:

LSU: 41 (average points = 30.12)

Texas Tech: 3  (average points = 18.67)

The median pick is LSU for 32.

So, lots more games and a lot more points up for grabs.  I'm good with some upsets, if the NCAA football gods want to provide us with a couple.  That could be fun, and it would shake up the standings a little.  There's still a lot of football to be played, so we still have a long way to go.

Good luck to everyone!!!!!!
