Predict the winner of some or all 32 bowl games. You can pass on some lower profile bowl games if you want to. You get 50 points to allocate to each of your bowl picks. If you get the pick right, then you earn those points. If not, then you take a zero. Spread your risk across many bowls or put it all on the higher profile games. You decide! The advantage of this is you can enter the pool late and still be in the running. Final entry deadline is Saturday December 31st.
This contest is FREE to enter! We will crown one College Bowls Pool Champ after the BCS Championship Game is decided. The Champ will win, in addition to eternal bragging rights, a prize of 50 MOP$ (MyOfficePool dollars) to use towards future pools.
» Pick the winners straight up, no point spreads
» Option to skip some lower profile bowl games
» FREE to enter
» 50 MOP$ Grand Prize
We do have a few pools on the horizon you can use the Grand Prize towards. Tell you what... if we get more than 25 people in the pool, I will award the Grand Prize plus a 2nd place prize of 25 MOP$. So, get your friends, family, colleagues and any college football fan you know to sign up for this contest. It is FREE after all! Good luck!

Rules Summary
Using the online form, submit who you think will win each bowl game and assign a point value to each game using the available drop-down options. Each game has a minimum point value that must be used. Many of the earlier, lower profile bowl games have a minimum of zero points that can be assigned to them. Other games have a minimum of 1, 2 or 3 points.
Each correct pick earns you the points assigned to the game while an incorrect pick earns zero. The total points available (i.e. maximum possible points) is 50.
The first time you fill in the form it will provide default point values for each game. Once you start to change the point values, then the difference will be assigned to the BCS Championship Game, so your total will always remain at 50. The website will prompt you if your BCS Championship Game points fall below the minimum of 3.
Hint: Start by reducing points of some games you feel less sure about, and then increase points of games you feel more confident about.
As some of the games can be assigned zero points, you can enter the pool after some bowl games have already been played. The final entry deadline is Saturday December 31st at 2:00pm, kickoff of the Bell Brut Sun Bowl. This is the first bowl game with a minimum point value of 1 point.
You can change your picks during the pool for any games not yet played. Picks must be submitted prior to kickoff of each game.
The winner is determined by who collects the most points. If two or more people are tied in points after the BCS Championship game is decided, then the tie breaker will be who had the most correct number of games right. After this, if there is still a tie, the prize will be split amongst the winners.
As this pool is free to enter, there is a limit of 1 entry per person.
Important Points
Pick Deadline
The deadline for making your picks is prior to kickoff of each game. No pick can be submitted for a game after the scheduled kickoff per the picks form, even if a game is slightly delayed.
No Picks Submitted
If no picks are submitted prior to the deadline, then a score of 0 (zero) will be assessed for those games, no exceptions.
Alternate Picks Submission
If you are having difficulty submitting your picks online, then send the picks by email to mike@myofficepool.ca. Make sure to clearly state your user name, picks and point assignments to each game (make sure they add to 50). The email must be received time stamped prior to the deadline. We take no responsibility for email being delayed past the deadline or not being delivered. Everyone should use the online system to make their picks and only send an email in the case of an emergency.
