I'm starting a separate spreadsheet specifically for the fancy-pants media gurus. I've found Colin Cowherd's picks, and Pete Fiutek's. Anyone know of other picks I can use? I did this one year, and all the experts' picks sucked.

ESPN.com: SPORTSNATION - Pick 'Em Challenge:

FOX Sports on MSN - COLLEGE FOOTBALL - Which bowls should you be watching?

 

[BB73]

Stewart Mandel of SI has picks for all games except the NC, which he'll post just before the game.

Thanks.

I found another couple of picks from Sporting News. One guy actually picked Ohio State to win.

Here are the picks of Erick Smith from USAToday.

[Zurp]

Now that we got one game into the bowl season, you get to check out the spreadsheet. If I did this right, I attached a microsoft excel sheet (zipped). If you know how to use excel, play with it. Enter the scores of the games next to the teams. The sheet should figure everything else out.

If you don't know how to use excel, either find someone who does, or let me know and I'll try to help. I'll also give updates.

By the way, Congratulations to SparkyOSU for picking the score of last night's game perfectly.

Edit - Don't use that file. I've attached the file to another post - scroll down.

Yes...what he said!!!:)

 

[Bestbuck36]

Nice, Zurp.


I'm gonna take a beating on tonights game it looks like.

 

[Zurp]

The file I attached yesterday has some flaws. Well, one flaw, repeated a bunch. It has to do with Sheet3. That's where it's figuring out the second game. Details on that game are in this thread somewhere. So go find them if you really want to know.

It is noted that in today's game between Southern Miss and Cincinnati, only one person picked Southern Miss to win: my wife. And the reason she picked Southern Miss is because her sister's boyfriend roots for them. Everyone else - everyone on BuckeyePlanet, the sportswriters I found, everyone - picked Cincinnati. It'll be funny if she wins that game.

Edit - CRAP!!! Don't use that file either. Thanks, Muck.
