I was planning on creating an online contest to have you select each bowl game, but it just got too complex. One thing I have learned about this place: if you make it simple -- more people will participate.So here we go...
Rules:
1) Pick the winners in any 5 bowl games. You choose which bowls.
2) Pick the total combined score of the Texas/Alabama BCS game.
2) Your entry must be made before the start of the earliest bowl game you have selected. The time stamp on your entry will be key.
3) Picks must be made as a comment to this post OR (for those of you that want to continue to lurk) sent to the Spawn email address.
We will take all the 5-0 winners and award the entry with closest the total combined score of the Texas/Alabama BCS game as the winner.
Winner gets honored on the sidebar (similar to the SpawnIcon winner).
