    What conference do you focus on?

    With college ball around the corner, I know there are many of you who can't wait to get the season started.  With so many good cappers here I was wondering which conference you cap best.  Because there's so many teams, unless your a real nut it's tough to be really knowledgable in every conference.  This way we can get a feel on who to follow in what conference.  For me, I tend to focus in the SEC and Big 12.  I'm not the best, but improving and hopefully I can get some pointers this season.

    So what conference is your bread and butter?

    CFB: 23-19-1

    NFL: 14-10

    Steeltown,
    I wait until I do my season research before I come up with the conferences. This year I have a really strong feel for the Big 12 and ACC. I feel that I do my best work when I play my biggest bets on two or three conferences.

     I bet almost strictly on SEC games, though last season I started capping a number of Conference USA matchups.

    I got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about.

    CFB Record: 49-55 -27.78 units AWFUL

    NFL Super 75:
    Overall Record: 24-13-2 (65%)
    Favorites Record: 8-4-1
    Underdogs Record: 8-3-1
    Totals Record: 8-6

    NHL: 1-2 -1.8 units

     Big 12, I tend to take others advice on other conferences but I have always done very, very well with the Big 12.

    Thanks for the star Tommy!  I agree that in the coming weeks, discussions are gonna be in full force on the college ball scene.  Personally I'm getting down and dirty starting next week because of all this shit I have to do.  Better get the ice packs out - football fever has arrived.

    Re: What conference do you focus on?

     I have followed the Big Ten for quite a few years now and seem to do pretty well I would say I hit around 60%.  It's when I venture outside of the Big Ten that I start losing some money.  But I can't remember if it was this past year or the year before that, that on here a few of the guys got together and each guy was assigned a conference and made a pick each saturday on that conference.  I'm thinking we should continue that.  I don't really post much or do much on here outside of college football season and some NFL.  So let me know.  Best of luck guys.
