2015 Confidence Points Standings

[..fanatic]

OOps. I had Eric winning the human race for straight-up picks, but Eric has correctd me and a recount shows it was highfly.
Spence took the points.
The computer outpicked all the humans straight up, but Eric and Spence both outpointed the algorithm. I failed miserably on both sides of the coin.

[Eric]

Thanks for keeping up with this.

[Eric]

I've got Highfly winning with only 14 missed picks.

[Eric]

I lost it after New Year's. I went from my best bowl pick'em ever by far to cratering back to the pack . I was in the top 1,500 on ESPN before New Year's Eve.

[Spence]

I would rather win the straight up games. Nice job Eric.

[Eric]

Highfly was the winner

[Spence]

Congrats to highfly. Sorry.

[armchairqb]

Congrats to Spence for the points title and highfly for the straight-up no points title.

Only 14 out of the 40 bowl games had margins of victory of seven points or less.
