I was thinking how weird it would be to mail it to myself...and then I thought, hey, I will address it to me, put the return address to me, and leave off postage. Always wanted to see how that worked.

Haven't tried that. I can tell you something that doesn't work:

Take your celebration to extreme. Realize you shouldn't drive so start walking because no taxis are available. Then, you see a pizza joint so walk in, order a pizza for delivery to your address, and ask for a ride since they are going that way anyway.

My advice is to leave quickly or you will be getting a ride...

Through 6 games:

Looks like these folks are the contenders (based primarily on total points possible):

CowboyNV - 858 points possible, so far 5/6 for 104
LanderPoke - 857 points possible, so far 5/6 for 100
Douglaspoke - 851 points possible, so far 6/6 for 109
Wyokoke - 851 points possible, so far 4/6 for 29 (really?)
McPeachy - 840 points possible, so far 6/6 for 125

I don't want to take the time to read the rules so maybe someone can answer. If two people have picked every game correctly so far why are their possible points different? What is the max amount of points?

I'm just primed for a late push

You have the option of "weighting" your picks...meaning if you think Utah absolutely was going to destroy you-know-who, you could put a higher weight (or confidence point level) on that game, and get more points.

You are going to need it. 29 points...with 851 possible...does that mean you heavy-weighted the NY day games?

Wait, ha ha. I must be retarded. If there are 860 possible points (41+40+39+38+ etc..) and a player hasn't missed a pick yet how is that player's possible points can be less than 860 at this point? you and Douglas are a perfect 6/6, you have 125 and Douglas has 109 because of the varying level of confidence you placed in the games, but theoretically you both could still pick all the games correctly and get 860 pts? Kindly explain why you can still only get 840 and Douglas can only get 851. I apologize for being retarded.

I'm heavily weighted in later bowls.. I'll be up there.

Yeah the big ones were all higher up for me cause I've seen those teams. I had no clue what to make of a lot of the G5 teams. I think my 40 point one was the Baylor game
