So on this college bowl pick em thing is it bad to have points? I'm pretty sure I picked Utah, but it is saying I didn't, but I still have 15 points...

I picked Utah too as my 11th most confident pick so I have 11 pts now. But I don't understand how the "confidence" thing works for the scoring.
EDIT: I thought 1 meant most confident but it actually means least confident

The higher the confidence you assign to a game, the more points you will earn if you have selected the winning team. Each game must have a different confidence value assigned to it from 1 to 32. For example, if you assign 32 points (because you are very confident) to Ohio State winning the game against Michigan, and Ohio State wins, your entry will receive 32 points for the correct selection.
Since you chose 11 for Utah and won you received 11 points to your total and after every game you win your total increases which is the object of the game. SO let's Memphis wins tonight you will add your 11 for utah plus the 12 for Memphis for a total of 23 points.
Other items of interest:
PPR= Points Possible Remaining- You start off with 528 points and as the games are played and your points are exhausted this number decreases. Ex. 528-11= 517.
MAX= Max Points Possible- This number let's you know how many points you have availble. The number will stay steady as you win but will decrease by whatever confidence level you selected if you lose. Ex. MrsTang lost last night but only used 1 point of confidence so 528-1= 527 Max Points Possible.
TOT= Total- Just the sum of all your points. The person with the most points wins.
PCT= Percentage ( I don't know how they get this number yet.)

Man. I can't believe Conneticut lost to WF. I had a good run on bowl mania up until then with a 10-1 record. Now 11-2 with a lot more games to play but was loving the winning streak.

No I understand USC's 1st 14 points came from solid offense, but I guess the other 35 had to include lack of ball handling from Illinois, piss-poor offensive playcalling forcing the Illinois D to remain on the field, some terrible calls, some lucky bounces and deflections, and the 2nd-6th string tailbacks for USC.
Whatever, we get our bowl $$$ and run
. Just saying, it should've been closer than that.
