Standings after the first three (of 35) bowl games are below. Steel Tidal Wave (the defending champion) takes the early lead with 50 total points. Possible points is a category to watch, since that is a player's best possible outcome if everything goes their way and near the end will indicate who can still win it.

Hawkeye joined as well (team name is Better Late Than Never...very true), but missed the first three games (which is no biggie...only 6 points lost).
I'll update the standings here around every three games played or so (the yahoo site has up to the minute stats).
I'm 4 for 4 on my picks, but don't have a high total so far since I went light on the confidence points for those matchups (in hindsight I should've went big on BYU like many others did, but oh well). Galaxy is also 4 for 4 and a high enough point total for second place (sitting pretty so far).
Favorite and Underdog aren't competing, I just added them to see how we do against them (I always like to see how favorites, underdogs, and home and away teams do).

Here are the standings after 30 (of 35) bowl games have been completed. Kali Gurls has been in first this past week and still leads the way with 374 pts (and 474 possible points remaining).
....Correct ......Possible Rk Picks ....Pts Pts Player 01 19 of 30 374 474 Kali Gurls 02 17 of 30 335 426 Galaxy 02 15 of 30 335 382 Steel Tidal Wave 04 16 of 30 333 409 Thunder Pigs 05 16 of 30 310 392 Husker Power 05 16 of 30 310 395 RED EXPRESS 07 17 of 30 304 455 Purple Paws of Terror 08 15 of 30 298 415 Lonestar 09 18 of 30 286 402 Catastrophic Bananas 10 18 of 30 283 448 simplywonderful 11 15 of 30 271 421 Where's Billy Ocean? ------------------------------------------------------------- 12 12 of 30 263 332 Gargantuans 13 15 of 30 256 373 J's Picks 14 12 of 30 248 371 Better Late Than Never 15 15 of 30 247 364 Montreal Machine 16 11 of 30 246 307 Empire State of Mind
red color = eliminated from getting first place
Kali Gurls also has the most correct picks (19 out of 30), so she's made good on her confidence points. Catastrophic Bananas and simplywonderful have 18 correct picks, but are trailing significantly for poor use of confidence points.
The players with the best remaining possible points are Kali Gurls (474), Purple Paws of Terror (455), and simplywonderful (448)...all women btw (what do they know, that the men don't?). Purple Paws was in great shape to run away with the contest until taking a huge hit with her Virginia Tech pick.
Defending Champion Steel Tidal Wave is almost down for the count with his possible points just 8 better than Kali Gurls actual points with 5 games left (it's not looking good). Husker Power and Red Express are also in danger of being eliminated soon. Anything can happen though and you're still in it as long as you got a chance and your picks come through.
I doubt I have a chance to win it now, but I hope I'm still alive going into the Oregon/Auburn game at least. Kali Gurls will be tough to beat, but if her remaining picks run into trouble she can be overtaken. Good luck in the final stretch everyone!

My only is goal is trying to overtake you BC Well, after 2nights game you're only 1 pt behind me and you can finish 19 pts ahead of me if we both win out so you have the upper hand. You can still get first as well, while I was eliminated 2night.

Here are the standings after 31 (of 35) bowl games have been completed. Kali Gurls solidified her lead with 404 pts (and 474 possible points remaining). Only five other players are left alive that can possibly overtake her for the title.

And then there were two!
Here are the standings after 34 (of 35) bowl games have been completed...only the BCS Title Game remains. Kali Gurls is still in first place with 433 pts (and 452 possible points remaining). Only Purple Paws of Terror with 420 pts (and 455 possible points remaining) can possibly overtake her for the title. Purple Paws of Terror has 35 pts riding on the game and Kali Gurls has 19 pts on the game. If they've picked different teams and Purple's team wins, then Purple wins and if not then Kali wins. If they picked the same team and that team loses, then Kali wins, but if that team wins then Purple wins. Everyone else is jockeying to better their final position.

I'm mildly upset at having picked the most games correct, but being so far down in the standings due to poor confidence points.
I'm happy my daughter has a chance to win though, she hasn't won any fantasy football contest since she won two NFL Europe Picking Contests back when she was 4 and 6 years old (we all laughed at her random picks each week until they kept winning).

I'm quite surprised at my finish, the way I got out of the gates I thought I would be horrible.

I would've finished a little higher since originally I had one point for the Oregon/Auburn game, but I reorganized to potentially add more drama for the last game by having 35 points riding on it (but alas I was already eliminated). My top two confidence points teams (Oregon and Nebraska) lost, that hurt me a lot.

I had a feeling I should have switched to Auburn. That's three games this weekend in college and NFL I felt I should change my picks and didn't and missed every one of them.

I picked Oregon as a homer, so what're you going to do?
I only got one of the NFL Picks right this past week (Baltimore). I was leaning towards picking the Jets, but didn't...and I really thought NO and Philly would win (Vick was more hurt than I thought though). I'm glad I didn't pick NO in my survivor as many did, wow (I was actually saving them for later...lol).
