The college bowl season, especially for schools that end up not making their way into the four-team playoff for the national championship, is one last chance for teams to prove themselves this season, as well as to build confidence in the program for the future. Its an opportunity to make a lasting impression and take home bragging rights and perhaps a shiny trophy to boot.You also have a chance to take home bragging rights - as well as a trip to next years CFP Championship - by taking part in ESPN.coms free Capital One Bowl Mania game. And, if your entry turns out to be perfect, instead of a trophy, theres a $1 million prize that awaits you.There are two ways to play -- straight scoring and confidence scoring.Heres how straight scoring works: for each of the 42 bowl games on the college football schedule starting with the Celebration Bowl on Saturday, December 17, 2016 and running right on through the title game, you simply select the team you think will win the game outright, no point spreads involved. Get the most number of winners correct, and you win a trip for two to the CFP Championship Game in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, January 8, 2018. If you get all 42 games right, youll win a share of the $1 million bonus.Confidence scoring adds a layer of strategy to the mix. In addition to picking the winner of each game, you will assign appoint value to each of your selections, starting with one point for the game you are least sure about, all the way up to 42 points for the winner pick you want to be worth the most. Each number between 1 and 42 must be used once and only once. Remember: the higher the number, the more points youll get for being correct.Playing with confidence scoring comes with some strategic decisions for the participant. If theres a game with a four-touchdown favorite that is likely to be selected on 90 percent or more of contest entries, then picking the underdog might end up propelling you into first place. But of course, thats only if the upset actually takes place.Similarly, if you roll the dice by placing a very high confidence value on a pick em game that everybody else is likely to place very low on their lists, and you accurately select the winner, you can propel yourself to the top of the leaderboard. But again, if youre wrong, then youve likely taken yourself out of running for the 2018 trip to Atlanta.Each participant is also asked to submit their guess for the final score of the CFP Championship Game. In the event of a tie in either the straight or confidence scoring games, this prediction will be used to determine the winner of the contest. All perfect entries, if any, (42 points -- one point per win -- in straight scoring, or 907 points in confidence scoring) will split the $1 million bonus. So what are you waiting for? Sign up for ESPN.coms Capital One Bowl Mania game today! Were confident youll have fun-- and dont forget to tell your friends to play as well at ESPN.com/bowlmania!

Adam Peaty was stunned after his dominant Olympic gold-winning swim left him wondering where his rivals were and in disbelief at his incredible feat.The 21-year-old from Uttoxeter won Britains first medal of the Rio Olympics, ending a 28-year wait for gold in the process.Not since Adrian Moorhouse in 1988 had a British male won an Olympic swimming title and Peaty won the same 100 metres breaststroke race in a world record of 57.13 seconds and by more than 1.5 seconds.This doesnt feel like an Olympics because Ive got this around my neck, said Peaty, world, European, Commonwealth and now Olympic champion after his medal ceremony.Going down that last 50 I was aware that I was in front, but not by that much.I touched the wall, looked to my left and I was like, Where is everybody?.That swim for me was probably the best executed, the perfect race.Britain were roundly criticised for winning just three medals in the pool at London 2012, none of them gold.But two were won on the second night of swimming finals here, with Peaty leading the way and Jazz Carlin adding silver in the 400m freestyle.Patriotic Peaty was inspired by the London 2012 Olympics and told aspiring youngsters they too can achieve their dreams with hard work.He added: People think you need so much to be an Olympic gold medallist. You really dont.All youve got to do is put 100 per cent effort in each day.London was so much to me. It really inspired me. Hopefully for the children and teenagers back home, just push every single day and dont give up.Moorhouses gold came in Seoul with a come-from-behind win, but Peaty led from the start with a blistering performance.That was one of many motivations coming into this Games, Peaty added.It was always in the back of my mind, 28 years is a very long time.Going into this race I was so composed, so calm, I wasnt even thinking of that.Now that Ive done it its an absolute honour to get that gold for Team GB.Nothing means more to me than racing for my country, racing for the Queen, the Royal family and racing for the people back home who support me.Peaty was clear favourite entering the GGames as the world champion and only man in history to swim beneath 58 seconds.ddddddddddddHe bettered his own world record in his heat on Saturday, clocking 57.55 and was 0.07 slower in his semi-final as he qualified fastest.And he went quicker still in surging to a supreme victory.He completed the first 50 metres in 26.61, 0.08 under world record pace, and a storming second length saw him enhance his advantage to win in a time even quicker than he had imagined.He added: To do that in an Olympic Games is everything Ive ever dreamed of. Its definitely the best feeling Ive ever had.Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa, the London 2012 champion, was second in 58.69 and Cody Miller of the United States third in 58.87.Peaty, who paid tribute to his coach Mel Marshall, took everything in his stride with a beaming smile as parents Caroline and Mark and girlfriend Anna watched on.He was constantly reminded to stay focused and take nothing for granted in the lead-up to the Games by his City of Derby coach of seven years Marshall.Marshall travelled to the Athens Olympics of 2004 as world number one over 200m freestyle, but did not make the final.She said: I would never have been able to guide him to this if I had not had that experience myself.It was 12 years ago and if I look back now, Id say that was my defining moment as a coach.I feel like this, for me, was my Olympic gold. Peaty has the 4x100m medley relay to come on Friday and believes he can continue to improve towards Tokyo 2020 and beyond.Id like to say I could go 56 (seconds), but theres a lot more work to do than just saying it, Peaty added.You never put a limit on anything. I know theres more in there and well see. Ive got eight more years, maybe more, in this game. Hopefully I can push on even more.He has come a long way since childhood, when he was scared of having a bath.Peaty added: I overcame that fear and theres nothing more I love than racing the best in the world now. Thats what I love to do. ' ' '
