Who Needs a College Football Playoff...

...when you've got The Second Annual Graziano Brothers College Bowl Game Point Spread Bonanza? (A gloriously complex pool in which contestants pick all 34 college bowl games against the spread and can earn bonus points for practically anything.)

Chick-fil A Bowl: LSU 38, Georgia Tech 3

Yeah. Looks like those SEC schools were sandbagging everybody.

This is obviously a cover for LSU, which was a 4-point UNDERDOG.

It is a win for Jon, Mark, Greg, Yohan and Steve.

It is a loss for Dan, Jim, Ed, Chris, Nino, Rob and Sal, all of whom are eliminated from the Simpson Bonus if they weren't already. Yohan is the only one still eligible for that one.

LSU was Yohan's SUPER-LOCK pick, which means he picks up 10 bonus points here.

And if it sounds like it's all coming up Yohan, it is. He's won 10 games in a row and now leads the pool by 20 points over Ed.

That doesn't mean it's over, but it sure will be if Yohan doesn't miss one soon...

Scoring Rules

BASIC SCORING RULES

-Games held between Dec. 20 and Dec. 21: 1 point each (5 bowls)

-Games held between Dec. 23 and Dec. 28: 2 points each (7 bowls)

-Games held between Dec. 29 and Dec. 30: 3 points each (5 bowls)

-Games held on Dec. 31: 4 points each (5 bowls)

-Games held between Jan. 1 and Jan. 2: 5 points each (8 bowls)

-Game held on Jan. 5: 5 points (1 bowl)

-Game held on Jan. 6: 2 points (1 bowl)

-Game held on Jan. 8: 7 points (1 bowl)


LOCKS AND SUPER LOCKS

Each player shall designate one of his 34 picks as a “Lock” and another as a “Super Lock.” Should a player correctly pick either or both of those games, against the point spread, he would be awarded bonus points as follows:

-“Lock” game: 5 bonus points

-“Super Lock” game: 10 bonus points

These bonuses pertain no matter how many points you receive for the game under the basic scoring rules. For example, if your “Lock” game is the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl, a 1-point game, and you pick it correctly, you will receive 6 points – 1 under the basic scoring rules and an additional 5 because you designated it as your “Lock.” If your “Lock” game is the FedEx Orange Bowl, a 5-point game, and you pick it correctly, you will receive 10 points – 5 under the basic scoring rules and an addition 5 because you designated it as your “Lock.”


ADDITIONAL BONUS POINTS

In addition to the basic scoring rules and the Lock/Super Lock points, a player may earn bonus points for picking many different combinations of games. These combo bonuses, which range from three points to twelve points depending on the number of games included in the combo, are detailed under the BONUSES tab above.
