It’s almost time.   Look for website updates the weekend of Dec 13/14.   That is when this year’s games and any rule changes will be posted.   Picks will be due at noon on Friday, December 26th.

Jenny or Heather. We will have to use the tie-breaker rule for the first time this year.

If Auburn wins the BCS National Championship Game, Matt & Heather will finish with 9 wins. But, Heather will take it via tie-breaker.

If Florida State wins, 4 will finish with 8 victories: Heather, Matt, Jenny & Susie. The tie-breaker (see Rules page) means that only Heather or Jenny have a mathematical shot. See the Standings page for more details.

Halfway through the Jan 1st games, Heather remains undefeated and holds a one game lead over Jenny. On the other end, 6 are now out of the race with more likely to be eliminated by the end of the day. Check out the Standings page for the details. – Commish

After both favorites, Louisville and Kansas State, won, Da’Judge, Retro, Susie, NetNet, and Deuce have been eliminated from the possibility of the first ever Bowl Battle undefeated season. Everyone else is 2-0 with two more games on the 30th. The past two winners of Bowl Battle have started the season 1-1. Good luck to all and happy holidays.
