As predicted, the Fifth Annual Wally Hotvedt College Bowl Challenge came down to tie-breakers. Going into last night’s championship game, there was a single point separating first-place from fifth. After LSU’s win over Clemson, we had five people all tied with 23 correct picks.
If the margin separating the overall picks was razor-thin, why shouldn’t the tie-breakers be the same way? In this case, ties were broken by picking the total points scored in that championship game. And again, this was determined my a single point; the actual number turned out to be 67, and the winner had 68. It’s that single point which lands the champion’s crown squarely on the head of Mrs. Dubsism.
As the winner, rest assured that Mrs. Dubsism has already informed me that her prize money will be headed toward a celebratory tab at a local micro-brew, where I know she will inflict far more damage on my wallet than 25 bucks.
Not to mention, she will plant her certificate somewhere in our house as a permanent reminder that for one brief moment in time, she was better than all the other Dubsists at something…but more importantly, that she was better than me.
In any event, keep Dubsism in your bookmarks because the only thing Surprise the Cat loves more than eating is hosting a sports challenge…and March Madness is only a few months away!

As the seasons progress, I learn I know less and less about college football.
It’s a good thing I still wager on them just to be sure.
