    I have set up our College Bowl Pick'em Contest on ESPN. The group name is 2018 Skyboxers. Just go to Capital One College Football Mania and join the group. Straight picks, no confidence points. Enjoy!

    it's a bit of a pain in the ass to join JOCO. Do you want me to call and walk you thru it?

    Good suggestion Corey. I have tried a couple of emails but no response.

    I'm in but has anyone else had difficulty selecting the two tie breakers? I keep getting an error: {"timestamp":1544093443818,"status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"No message available","path":"/college-football/team"}

    Tom, it seems to me that last year, you had to wait until the games actually commence. I just double checked and the box is dimmed at the current time with all selections being completed.

    I just adjusted some of my picks and entered tie-breaker score for each game (one score only) and saved my picks. It seems to work with just picking the high score only for the final 4 games.

    I wonder if I can pay JO'Co for the picks he's not going to make for himself! :)

    I believe I had a better w/l ratio than Dad, or anyone, but I allocated my points poorly.

    I spoke with JOCO, he's just out. With guys sitting out the bowl games and stuff, it's just a crap shoot.
