OUTSTANDING

You did it. All the records mentioned yesterday are toast.

Fun Facts:

• I got all my 30+ confidence picks correct which has never happened before. On the other hand, I got 6 picks in the 20's wrong which ties for the most all time.
• This is the first time you've ever gotten the 38 confidence pick correct. The curse is broken!

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCOREBOARD: IT WAS - AS WE ALL KNEW IN OUR HEARTS OF HEARTS - ALL ABOUT THE TATER

Look at our big strong boy winning it all.

Here are two records you've already broken (previous records in parentheses like this):

• Wins (26, Charles, 2012)
• Confidence % (69.4%, Cap, 2016)

Here's two you will break if the Cajuns win:

• Win % (74.3% (26-9), Charles, 2012)
• Confidence Points (569*, Cap, 2016 (*40 games))

Here are two records that we will break (together, as a team), regardless of the Cajuns decide to do:

• Agreed Wins (18, 2017)
• Agreed Win % (77.8% (14-4) in 2012)

If the Cajuns win, our Win %'s will be the 1st and 3rd best all time. If the Cajuns do not win, our %'s will be an embarrassing 2nd and 5th all time.

By a wide margin, my futile efforts will be the "best" losing performance of all time. The previous best win % in a losing effort was 59.0% by you in 2017. The worst I can do is 64.1%.

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM NOT A SCORE BOARD

I'm not making a score board this morning. The wounds are just too fresh.

Charles:
24-10 (8-6)
453/644, 70.3%
260 POWER POINTS

Tha Captain:
22-12 (6-8)
478/684, 69.9%
270 POWER POINTS

Ok. You win, great job.

The Potato Bowl aka the Poe Tay Toe Bowl will most likely decide the confidence portion. The only ways the Potato Bowl winner does not win confidence are as follows:

Charles wins if Cincinnati, Indiana, Tulane, and Miami (OH) win.

Tha Captain wins if Boston College, Tennessee, and Southern Miss win. The Mobile Bowl does not matter (what a mean thing to say).

If any of the other 29 outcomes of the last 5 games occur... "It's All About The Tater."

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCORE BOARD: EXTREMELY SPECIAL "THE GUNS OF NAVARONE PART II" EDITION

Well that is interesting but today could swing it to "not interesting" very quickly.

If everything goes one person's way today, the Auburn game will-of course-be the potential clincher tomorrow.

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCORE BOARD: SUPER SPECIAL "THE GUNS OF NAVARONE" EDITION

Friday went one way, then Saturday went the other. That's just how the cookie crumbles.

You can clinch the w/l portion NYE afternoon in the Sun Bowl. The confidence portion will have to wait until at least the Alamo Bowl that night. I'm just one or two results away from making sure that at least one portion goes to "The Big 20" aka 2020.

Today features one very pivotal Music City Bowl (CRISIS, 39 PP), a pretty significant 1st Responders Bowl (18 PP) and the very useless Redbox (1) and Orange (0) Bowls. I hope you enjoy them. Toodaloo!

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCORE BOARD: EXTREMELY SPECIAL "EVERYBODY'S WORKIN FOR THE WEEKEND" EDITION

See you on Monday!

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCORE BOARD: Very Special "I'm Here So I Might As Well Make A Score Board" Edition

Heap big excitement. Fun Fact: Regardless of what happens in the two games today, if every game goes your way on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, the Belk Bowl on New Year's Eve will clinch both parts of the pick them for you.

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCOREBOARD: EXTREMELY SPECIAL "CIRCLE THE WAGONS" EDITION

4 games went "the way of Charles" and 3 went "the way of tha Captain" but the fewest POWER POINTS you acquired in your four wins was 11. The largest POWER POINTS value of my three wins was 10. You do the math! NOT. I just did it for you.

Here are all the games ranked by POWER POINTS (as above, the combined points wagered in CRISIS games or the difference in wagers in agreed games). POWER POINTS are the driving force behind the POWER FACTOR. He who hath the most POWER POINTS wins.

For all games, the winner that would benefit you is listed first. For CRISES that's pretty clear. For agreed games: if you have more points on the line, a shared win benefits you so our mutual pick is listed first. If I have more wagered, you benefit if we lose. For agreed games, our mutual pick is italicized.
