(UPDATED, 12/11, 4:23 p.m.)

Instead of picking the bowl games against the spread like last season, I figured I'd make it more interesting (and easier) by creating the challenge through a private group in the Yahoo! contest.

You only pick the winners (no spreads), but you're able to rank the games between 1-32 in order of how confident you are in each game. Points are earned based on the number you assign each pick. For example, if I'm supremely confident UConn will defeat Wake Forest in the Meineke bowl, I'd rank it 32. If UConn wins, I get 32 points. If UConn loses, I get zero. Simply pick a winner, and drag it to your assigned ranking. It's easy once you sign up (you need a Yahoo ID.)

Follow this link. Click "Join Public or Private Group". The click "Join Group".

Group ID# is 26267. Password is: runway.

I am the defending champ, and since regular season challenge winner SeanO's Ghost as gone double-or-nothing on his prize, the bowl challenge winner can still take over the blog for a day is entitled to several plates of wings with the Ghost and his posse of high school coaches from the valley.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: To appease the angry, Shelton-based Ghost, here are the picks with spreads. Feel free to enter this way by clicking "comments" below and doing and cut-and-paste.
