If we want to do a bowl confidence pool, I can track results

I like confidence pools

the only real problem is that a player has to sign up initially or cant play at all

it might be a challenge to get a large number of players to take the time to sign up

I wouldn't do all of the bowls

Yeah, probably start after Christmas and pick/choose from those. Maybe 15 total??

I was thinking 20

There are 9 Big Ten bowls

There are 10 other bowls involving a ranked team, after Christmas, but one is BYU-Auburn

Add one other game between unranked P5 teams.

Only thing is the first such ranked games are #13 BYU-UAB and #23 Louisiana-Marshall on December 18, so it would start earlier.  Otherwise we could do 15, and it would be exclusively December 31-January 1 games

You want to post it? I don't remember all of the details of a confidence pool.

The other question is whether we want to do straight up or ATS?

I thought a confidence pool was a ranked pool where you assigned confidence level (ranked 1 to 20 or however many games there are) and you get points equal (or inverse) to your ranking for right answers. 

I.e. if you are 100% confident Alabama beats Cincy and put it as your top rank of #1, you get 20 points for getting it right, 0 if wrong. 

Whereas if you think Purdue vs Tennessee is a complete toss-up and you have no confidence in it, you rank it #20, and thus you only get 1 point if you're right, 0 if wrong. 

If that's correct, then you ALWAYS do a confidence pool straight up. 

Against the spread is fine for a pool, but that won't be something you rank for confidence. You just get 1 point for each correct call.

Correct, but I've played in confidence pools that used the spread.  I'm fine either way, I just didn't want to make the call

I vote to go straight up with no point line if we are going to assign confidence points
