fwiw, the current line is alabama -7 with a point total of 51. if you want to make it a 3 oart tie breaker, you could pick the straight up winner, the spread winner and make a guess on the point total for both teams.

Since you ran it, you can make the call. I'll send you my picks in a message so we're not accused of copying each other, and you can post them after Cb makes his picks. I'll even include the score of the game, just in case we need another tie-breaker.

if cb's ok w/it, that's ok w/me.

so, for the bowl season, kaz's strong start and cbis' strong finish leaves them tied at the top;

kaz, cbis 23-16-1 +7
bamorin, fred's wife, rox 22-17-1 +5
dale, beuycek, mickey 21-18-1 +3
gray lady 20-18-1 +2
trn, daleko, mscott 20-19-1 +1
et, bgvol 19-20-1 -1
robb, gatr 18-21-1 -3
walt 14-25-1 -11

maybe kaz and cbis can post avatars of richard burton for a week? eddie fisher?

So Walt gets to wear Aunt Ester. That was a nice add on Mark, written in small lite yellow print. 

Dang....shoulda let Max make the pics.....

ok, here are the picks. turned out they're very similar.

cb has alabama winning, covering the 7 pt spread, w/52 total pts scored (35-17).

kaz has alabama winning, covering the 7 pt spread, w/48 total pts scored (31-17).

Which means Clemson will win 14-3. Lol

So, if it ends up Clemson 29, Bama 21, or Bama 31, Clemson 19?
Then what?
We need a third tie breaker if they are both going to take Bama.

if clemson wins 29-21 kaz would win because he'd be closer to the clemson total and they'd be the same amount apart on their alabama score prediction. the same for the 31-19 scenario (kaz would be closer on the alabama prediction and they'd both be the same number apart on the clemson score).

now if alabama somehow ends up on 33, right inbetween 35 and 31? that would ensure a tie. so we'd have to decide who would get the avatar of a pretentious british actor and who would get the avatar for the guy who ditched debbie for liz, and then got ditched for dick.

So what's the final result?
Did I win because I picked closer to the total points?

kaz wins closest to the score difference.

cb wins closest to the total scores.

I think it should remain a tie. Both got the actual winner right, both lost against the 7 point spread, and neither came close to what happened on the field.

imho, cb was 9 pts away on alabama and 23 away on clemson.
kaz was 13/alabama and 23/clemson.

the game was...

1. straight up winner (both won w/alabama)
2. spread winner (both lost on alabama)
3. total points scored (cb had 52, kaz 48) in a game that had 84 points.

under the above criteria, the two tie for the bowl championship but cb wins the tiebreaker and hence the crown.

I'd like to thank the committee and also Trn for getting those whole thing going and Mark for taking over in very capable fashion. And finally I want to thank Everyone who played along, lots of fun

Total points as the last tiebreaker is fine. I figured it'd go that way, but felt someone should lobby for the tie.
