This looks like fun, thanks. I always like to gamble when there's no money on the line.

The bowl games are right around the corner. Here's an invitation to join a fake betting pool for some, but not all, of the bowl games. I have omitted the Weed-Whacker type games, except that all games with ACC teams are in play. I have also arbitrarily set point values for the various games. Get your picks in by Saturday morning, December 17, at noon EST. (The first game in play kicks off then). We are picking winners straight up, not against any point spread. Here goes:
