Pick'em Results

Well this week sucked...Damn you LSU, Navy, Va Tech, UF, Texas and Ole Miss for being a complete waste of space. I will forever hate you and may god have mercy on your pitiful souls...

On the brighter side Roll-Tyde and The Keeper both posted nice records of 17-9. Not to shabby considering the complete suckfest that was most peoples scores. I think like 30000 of us were below .500 this week, making me not feel so stupid...So thanks for that..

The biggest losers of the week go to Spock Jenkins and Southside Tider. They posted an unimpressive  9-17 score putting them tied for last place among those who actually picked. Well done sirs. Sucking that bad takes dedication and focus.

Don't forget to put in your picks for this week. It's sure to be a doozy.

 

RTR and screw Va Tech!

Anyone else notice Ole Miss is favored by 21 points this week?

I feel like that pick is just too obvious… like I’m being tricked… Oh well, we’ll see

Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

It should also be mentioned that 6 of you picked against Alabama

for shame…

And 1 person correctly picked Jax St. to win

(there wasn’t even a line, it was a straight pick). I was surprised

I grew up there so I picked them because on that…I really wish I could say I picked it based on my football acumen.

by HAMsmith on Sep 7, 2010 8:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

we don't exactly

have a history of covering the spread, so i can see why people picked against us.

oh I know

I actually wouldn’t pick us in some circumstances. I just happened to pick us and against Auburn this week because that’s what I thought would happen.

No reason to stop me from acting holier-than-thou, though

I think they have the squatting down.

It’s the bending over that’s the problem.

I thought they got bent over just fine last night.

point spreads

The list of teams I was picking from didn’t show point spreads.

I just picked...

and they did. Some had 0.0 meaning even?

Crap.

I was 6th until Navy and Va Tech blew me up and knocked me down to 8th. Pfft.

crap is bad...

8th is pretty damn good… princess of prognosticating.

I’m still mad, have to do better next week. LOL

by Peyton on Sep 7, 2010 10:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's amazing that...

the difference between 8th and 21st is 14 – 12 and 13 – 13. One more losing pick costs 13 spots.

depends on tiebreakers right?

Those actually get used for something?

D’oh! I better pay more attention next time! I could’ve been way up at #31 if my tiebreakers had been right! LOL

by CarrotTop4 on Sep 8, 2010 4:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

I didn't even think about the tiebreakers.

My score on the Boise Game was close, only flip flopped. I picked 34-31 Va Tech, and the final was 33-30 Boise. That might be what got me higher up than some who picked the same card I did, pretty much. Nine of us have the same win-loss record.

by Peyton on Sep 8, 2010 6:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

I predicted Florida to score the most points

ouch…

But SJS was pretty close to least points at least

38th isn't bad, is it?

Wait, we only have 46 people playing? Crap.

Just count me

down for fumbling at the goal line but how do you get to that pick’em site again? And whats the i.d. # and all that?

Never mind

I’ll just look in the old posts.

do you get to pick the teams? Where do I go to participate in this or is it too late?

This is my first year...

and I happened to not even notice the point spread and assumed it was a straight pick ‘em. Don’t worry, you’ll be eating your words at the end of the season, when I move up the ranks to #15. Eat it!

This past week of pick em

only confirmed why I do not bet on games. Last year my wife and I entered a bowl pick em challenge, and I did her picks. For her I picked the opposite of my picks and she won the whole damn thing. I just can’t keep my heart out of the picks.

by sixfoot7 on Sep 8, 2010 9:12 AM CDT reply actions  

The few times I've been dead sure in history and nailed it:

Penn State 14, Miami 10 in ’86 — dead on.
Tennessee beating #1 Auburn in the 80s
Alabama vs. Miami, ’92 Sugar Bowl

But I don’t bet. I’m sure it would amuse and enrich the bookmakers…

My shit talking clearly came back to haunt me.

That, and the horrible college football that was played last week. Dammit I need to pull some LL “Don’t Call It A Comeback” type ish.

Nope.

Red hair, close study of stats, and more often than not the “close eyes and point” method.

by Peyton on Sep 9, 2010 10:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

"Close eyes and point" method...

Isn’t that the method Chizik used to pick his defensive starters??

No,

because even random luck would give him a better result than what he’s got.

by Peyton on Sep 10, 2010 11:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

That was the exact same method I used

and it didn’t get me anywhere!

Oh, except what was that part about “close study of stats”? No, I skipped that one. D’oh!

That’s a great idea. Almost as good as having all those fractions of cents being put in a separate bank account. Nobody will ever notice.
