The bracket is getting blown up and the leaders in the pool are the little brother who picked all upsets and the girlfriend who picked according to avatar.

I have added tiebreakers to the remaining rounds (see below). Please answer them, either in this thread or by PM. You will not be disqualified for not making a tiebreaker pick, but you will be SOL if you end up tied.

To those who have been eliminated, please let me know if you are interested in running this bowl challenge from the quarterfinals on, as I will be out of town.

As I've warned, I will be without internet for the next 4-5 days, so I'm trusting you guys to keep this running. Please get your ballots in by either posting them here or PMing them to me before each deadline (or better yet, just send them all now if you haven't already).

After the deadline for a round, please post your ballot on this thread and/or the other site's thread so that you and your opponent can do the math and figure out who wins. Links:

Buckeyeplanet thread

Bucknuts thread

Here is the scoring: You add up the difference between your guess and the official result for each player. If you guess exactly, subtract 35 points from your score. Lowest score wins.

If a guess is fairly close, please do not rely on ESPN.com. Use the official athletics site of that school to find the box score. Just google "Stanford football" whatever and look for their schedule. The box score will be there a few hours after the game (usually on the winning team's website first).
