'Tis the season to be confident.

The college football "confidence pool" is gathering momentum as an annual rite of bowl season for both diehard and casual fans, and the crew from Eye on College Football will be among the participants in this year's competition.

If you're not familiar with the confidence pool concept, it goes like this:

• Decide whether you want to just pick prospective winners, or play against the spread.

• Rank your picks in order of how confident you are that you've picked the right side, numbering them from 35 (most confident) to 1 (least confident).

• Every time you pick the right winner or against-the-spread winner, you get the number of confidence points you've assigned to that game. When bowl season ends, after you've wiped up your tears of mourning over the end of another college football season, tally up your points and compare with your friends, with whom you've been competing for entertainment purposes only.

If you'd like to compete against your friends at Eye on College Football, or use their confidence pool picks as a guide for your own competition, see below.

Again, Tom Fornelli is most confident that Baylor will beat UCF, so he's assigned them 35 points, and he thinks Texas will take down Oregon but isn't going to put any of his collection of vintage cars on the line to emphasize that point, so he's assigned that result a 1.
