College Football Confidence Contest (CFCC)
CFCC Status:
2007 CFCC Champion - Holly Floyd Bowl Blowout Champion - Liz Stephens Group Play Champions - Shake and Bake
National College Sports Headlines dirty-dawg CFCC Headlines Holly Floyd is CFCC 2007 Champ!! The dust has cleared on another glorious college football season and that means another edition of dirty-dawg.com's College Football Confidence Contest (CFCC) has come to an end. Holly Floyd of North Richland Hills, TX is this year's CFCC Champion with 997 points and a record of 156-64. Holly rallied from 11th place going into the blowout in returning the CFCC hardware to the state of Texas. In a high-profile press conference following her championship, Holly had the following beer soaked words to say... "Hello all fellow dirty-dawgers! I am so proud to be the first female to win the CFCC. My winning strategy is pretty straight forward, however I'm not giving away any secrets. I will tell you one thing, that my hubbie Chad Ellis, gave me some key advice on the Bowl Blowout that placed me in a better position to win it all. Speaking of #1, a big shout out to my teammates on Shake And Bake. We set out with a goal to win the group picks and it was a privilege to dominate in that area as well. In conclusion, I don't even watch the games. My husband just got me into doing the picks so that he could watch more football. HA!HA! Take that BOYS!!!" And there you have it folks. Another proud CFCC winner. Congratulations, Holly!!
Now, some more of the observant amongst you may now be thinking we gave extra points for looks, but that just isn't the case. Really! We also want to point out that an equally beautiful female (Judy Vesper), won a pre-dirty-dawg contest under the same format in the late 1990s, but Holly is the first female to win since dirty-dawg started in 2000. Russel Vannozzi of Hendersonville, TN was this year's runner-up, finishing with an identical record as Holly at 156-64 and 995 points, just 2 points off the championship pace. Who says those 1 confidence games aren't a big deal?? Russell came from 14th place going into the blowout and would have won if Ohio State would have won the National Championship. And if you think his last name looks weird, yet strangely familiar, we will add that he is the 12 year old son of the 2001 champ, Larry Vannozzi, so he comes by his ability to pick games naturally. And if you look at where Larry finished (87th), you will agree that Russell most likely did his own picking. Great job, Russell!! We already mentioned veteran Judy Vesper from Midland, TX who finished third this year. Judy tied for most wins (159) this year with Gale Kurtz of Sioux City, Iowa who finished 12th overall. Judy was only 12 points behind the champion and we would have a picture of her at the top of the column if she wouldn't have put 25 on her beloved Sooners in the Bowl Blowout!!! Oh nooo!!! Yes, we will hear about that comment at dirty-dawg HQ, but it was worth it. In any event, another great season by Judy, and she beat her husband Pat, yet again, which is probably more important to her anyhow. Rik Anderson from Roan Mountain, TN was 4th this year followed by Harry Gerapetritis of Lyman, SC in 5th. Charter dirty-dawg member Greg Wilk was 6th, climbing 57 spots, while Barbara Jo Debish (Judy Vesper's sister) finished 7th. Jadon Brenda was 8th, Linda Ashford 9th and Greg Story 10th. Congratulations to the Top 10 CFCC dirty-dawgers for 2007!! Liz Stephens from Louisville, KY was the overall Bowl Blowout winner this year picking a blistering 22 correct games. Way to go Liz!! Liz led the pack with 257 our of 325 points. Greg Wilk was 2nd with 225 and 20 wins. Dan Gossin was 3rd, followed by Bills Badboy who also picked 22 games correctly. Neal Silversher was 5th, Andy Patrick 6th, John Werner 7th and Dan Jones 8th. The top 10 was rounded out by Daniel Kopec and PFCC 2003 champion Steve Beaver. And that will wrap another year of dirty-dawg's CFCC. We hope to see everyone back next year for another shot at glory during the best time of the year...College Football!! Congratulations to all of this year's winners!! 2007 CFCC Bowl Blowout Final Standings

Shake and Bake makes a claim and Takes 2007 CFCC Group Crown
Well, we guess it had to end some time and it turns out that 2007 was the year. After an unprecedented 4 consecutive dirty-dawg CFCC Group Play Championships, The Florida Dummies were finally beaten by Shake and Bake, led by CFCC Champion, Holly Floyd. Shake and Bake's group description was "The group that will take #1 away from the Florida Dummies" and they sure did winning the Group Championship with an average score of 898.33. That finish was about 34 points ahead of 2nd place group, WudaShudaCuda. The Florida Dummies finished 3rd. BommerBacks were 4th and Bucknutz finished 5th.
Shake and Bake was comprised of Holly Floyd, Jessica Brooks, Blake Howard, Chad Ellis, Charlie Duzak and Shawn Ellis. Congratulations S&B on a fine season.
Team Shake and Bake Takes Victory Dance after knocking off the Florida Dummies for the 2007 CFCC Group Play Championship.
Florida Dummies group leader, Will Moseley, offered up the following concession speech after falling short for the first time in 5 years...
"On
behalf of The Florida Dummies, I shamefully and bitterfully hand over the
coveted team CFCC trophy to the team of Shake and Bake. They declared
their intention early on of upsetting us and ruining the 5-peat, and that
they did. Well, they pantsed us behind the wood-shed, to be more accurate.
Their mid-season dumping of the lowest player was brilliant and moved them
up to the lead at that point. I would have done the same to Bill on our
team had I known how poorly he would finish the season, sigh. At any rate,
congrats once again to Shake and Bake, as well as 2nd place finisher Wulda
Shulda Culda. Florida Dummy matriarch Rebecca is so distraught by our
bronze medal that she no longer will cook fried chicken with a certain
seasoning mix - KFC buffet only for us now. Well, after Rebecca's AA
meetings, anyways.
Chad Ellis, group leader of Shake and Bake had the following to say after the Florida Dummies' concession...

Congratulations once again to Shake and Bake for winning the 2007 CFCC Group Play Championship!!

Otto Binau of Upper Sanduskey, Ohio is this years winner, pulling off 8177 points. Otto's totals were the third highest in CBCC history, although solidly behind last year's record holder Tom Flowers. How did Otto do it ? Easy... not only did he get the final four correct, but he correctly picked the semifinal winners, and the ultimate National Champion. In opther words, on the final weekend - he just blew away the competition. Honorable mention for this year's contest go to Doug Schneider of Morristown Tennesee, who finish just 6 points back. Andrew Sniezak finished third, followed closely by Robert Ricks and Mike Johnson to round out the top 5. Pro Football Confidence Contest (PFCC) PFCC Status:

"Is my score correct ???"
Damn right it is ! Yes... it's the number one question asked of the dirty-dawg math and computer science department. You can rest assured though, dirty-dawg.com uses a massively paralleled network of state of the art supercomputers to calculate scores and standings each week. We've never been wrong. OK... there was that one time an incompetent dirty-dawg intern turned off the TV before a game was over thinking Michigan had beaten Colorado and... well... we won't get into that except to say that former intern now runs this company.
Anyway... if you don't trust the technology, you Einsteins can calculate your score at home. For each game you get right... ADD that confidence level to your score. Then, for each game you get wrong... SUBTRACT that confidence level from your score. A perfect score is 120 points. If you get ALL the games WRONG your score is a negative 120 points.
Pretty easy right ? Now see the game rules links for more information on special situations.
And one more piece of advice. Don't EVER expose yourself by questioning the dirty-dawg IT department. EVER !!
