Before games are played you will have assigned a unique confidence point value from 1 to 34 to each game based on how strongly you feel about the accuracy of your selection. If your selection is correct, you'll receive points equal to the confidence point value you associated with that game.

So, if you pick Team A to beat Team B, assign the game a confidence point value of 25, and Team A wins, you'd get 25 points for the correct pick, but no points if Team B wins. You don't lose points for an incorrect selection.

If you correctly pick all 34 games, you will receive the highest possible total score of 595 points.

The player finishing with the highest score after the BCS Championship on January 8, 2009 will be the winner of the group.
