CFB Pickem - End of Regular Season

[88BuckeyeGrad]

Thanks to Lefty for all of the "must-pick" selections. Well done, sir.

Chip C is the regular season champ. Ordinarily, we would have a Bowl Championship round to determine to whom I should ship a football. Chip C has a few already (He donated a set to a Pee Wee football program in my former home town a few years ago, by the way). I'm not sure if CBS will have a bowl selection page. If so, I'll lob it up here.

Week 5 - Mike D. (see Note below)
Week 6 - Screw Michigan (see Note below)

Week 10 - Cornhusker
Week 11 - 88BuckeyeGrad
Week 12 - Frank Beamer's Growth
Week 13 - Frank Beamer's Growth
Week 14 - Rick Aroo

Week 4 Note: Stanley Pickle did not pick the must-pick game in Week 4, which was Ohio State vs. Notre Dame. But neither did Rick Aroo, who came in second by one game. So, even if I took one of Stanley Pickle's wins away for a major rules infraction, he still would have won.

Week 5 Note: Rick Aroo had 8 correct picks, but did not pick the must-pick game in Week 5, which was Notre Dame @ Duke. Thus, for determining the week's winner I had to take one win away from him. That left him tied with several others who had 7 correct picks. Mike D. had the closest score, and is thus the Week 5 winner.

Week 6 Note: MuchoBulls would have won the week, but he did not pick the must-pick game. Thus, for determining the week's winner I had to take one win away from him. That left Screwy as Week 5 winner.

Screwy found something he's good at.

At least most the teams I picked wrong that were big favorites ended up losing the game. WTF was up with Okie St?

[Screw_Michigan]

Screwball---Still #1

Season's young, don't spike it yet.

[Screw_Michigan]

It wouldn't be the real Stanley Pickle if for not fucking up the one basic requirement of this silly game for the last 20 years.

[Sudden Sam]

It won’t win anything, but I’m about the most consistent mofo ever!

5. 5. 5. 6. 5.

Damn.

[Laxplayer]

I should go to Vegas....all 7's so far......granted it's only been two weeks......

[Moby Dick]

It's cheap, but i'll take the W for the week.

[The Seer]

The Seer is old...and he don't "see" too good anymore....

5-5-5-5-3.

[Laxplayer]

Old...dude last time I saw you....you were old then......

[Sudden Sam]

I am climbing the standings by maintaining a .500 weekly pace. Unreal.

[MuchoBulls]

Totally blew that one.

I am assuming that the must pick game is the game where we are using the total points for?

Correctamundo.

[Screw_Michigan]

Why is it so hard for you mouthbreathers to do the pick 'em right? The players, not the administrator.

Easy answer is I messed up and didn't look.

Sucks that the site puts the game everyone has to pick at the bottom.

[The Seer]

Yeah, took me a week to figure that out....

After the stunning success of last week (3 wins) I took less than a minute to make my picks this week.

One more dismal showing and I'll do some research prior to making pics.

[88BuckeyeGrad]

I go 9-1, and Chip C gets me with a better tie-breaker guess. Rack that dude, whoever he may be.

[Sudden Sam]

Nailed the Fl St- Duke total, but another 5-5 week.

Consistently inconsistent is how I’ve described Alabama’s team this year. I’m consistently meh with my picks, but I’m right there.

5th place out of 17 pickers is just fine to this point. I’m coming after you, Screwy, 88, Chip, and OU!

[Laxplayer]

Damn.....lost on the tiebreaker....oh well.....at lease $C lost again......

Time to make my move.

This is me every single week. Can’t get the race car out of second gear.

Have you tried taking off in 3rd??

[Screw_Michigan]

What's the tennis analogy of going 5-5?

Good call, Screwy. I’d say it’s like being John Isner. Killer serve. Shit return. Might spend a whole week playing one match. Might as well retire. Something like that.

Although look at this week, got a break and went 6-4.

[Sudden Sam]

This is my week. The drive to the top starts Saturday.

Let me break out of my 5/week pattern and get 7-8 right! All I need is one big week.

[Moby Dick]

Why does that sound like you're sitting at a casino throwing money into 3 slots at the same time?

Does, doesn’t it?!

[Sudden Sam]

5 again !

Consistency is paying off, though. 3rd place now.

Heads up, Screwy and OUMO. You, too, 88. I’m taking this thing!

Kiss of death. I’ll never pick another game right.

[Screw_Michigan]

Four people within a point of first place. Things are tight!

I have been terrible this second half of the season. Can't believe I am not running away with this thing. Fucking MACtion.

I am scared to death of MAC games.

I’d trade my surge for 2 more Bama wins and losses by Washington, Texas, and Florida State.

I am a MAC grad so I know the league better than most. You get better odds in the non-conference season. Things get a bit more difficult to predict in the conference season as teams are familiar with each other and there are more upsets. Yes of course that applies to all schools and leagues but moreso in the MAC IMO. Having these MAC games mid week also takes them off my radar for betting purposes, which doesn't help.

I'm tied with you for the most 5's - EIGHT.

Let's see what happens next week?

Finally picked a MAC game…and it bit me!

Took Ohio. Seemed like a sure cover. Nope.

If I could get just ONE big week…

[Sudden Sam]

Chip C is Jsc, right? Regardless, congrats!

I never had less than 4 or more than 6 correct picks in a week. Consistency got me a tie for 2nd with Roach and OUMO.

What did I win? A week of UFC training? A meet and greet with Connor Stalions? A plate of Chip’s boudin?

[Laxplayer]

Man...what might have been.......missing the first three weeks.....had I gotten my weekly average I'd be near or at the top....Oh well, another year wasted......
