Pick 'Em Gauntlet: Bowls, Final Round

by WVUIE97 on Jan 6, 2012 6:28 PM EST in Pick 'Em Gauntlet

This week's slate completes the tournament. POINT SPREADS MATTER:

AT&T Cotton Bowl – Kansas State v. Arkansas (-9.5)
BBVA Compass Bowl – Southern Methodist v. Pittsburgh (-3.5)
GoDaddy.com Bowl – Arkansas State v. Northern Illinois (+1.5)
AllState BCS National Championship – Alabama v. Louisiana State (+1)

Picks are due TONIGHT at 8 pm EST (or before the start of the next game if you're late)

We had 4 pickers achieve double digits this past week, led by kml2157's 11. It all comes down to kml2157, dawg'eer8488, and macker605 for the commenter title (I need you three to email me please, WVUIE97@gmail.com, so I can contact the winner regarding your prize) and I need a total combined score for the BCS Championship from you three as a possible tie-breaker. The rest of you need to get your picks in and improve your overall standings for bragging rights. Caleb has already sewn up the staff trophy with that damn dartboard of his. Staff picks and leaderboard are after the jump.

I'll post full final standings a day or so after the BCS Championship game.

K-State Can Shuck It....

should have covered….but no! Bitter, because it cost me dollars.

Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear, the gang's all here,
So hail West Virginia, hail.
