CFN Staff Picks, Bowl
Confidence

Here are the
picks from the CFN writers along with Clucko the Chicken.
Put down two feed dishes, one representing one team and
one representing another and whichever dish the chicken
goes to first is the team that's going to win. You'll do just as well. (Really, the pick is a
coin flip. Don't laugh; Clucko won the 2000 Bowl Pool
among 24 entrants.) You can get to the Expert Picks
in the above dropdown under Predictions.
Here's the drill for the bowls. Everyone
makes their picks, and then assigns a number from most to least confident
against the spread. A 34 means most confident with the pick, 1 is least
confident (Clucko's confidence picks were taken out of a hat to represent the
element of random chance). The number next to the final pick is an overall
confidence score of the picks added up (for example, Wake Forest 8+14+20-4-24 =
WF (14)). The
higher the number, the more confident the overall pick.
Fiu is Pete Fiutak, RC is Richard Cirminiello, MZ is Matthew Zemek, SS is Steve
Silverman, and CL is Clucko
* means team will win, but won't cover
