Games still in progress due to Hawaii-UTEP:

 

Washington State (Bravesfan) vs. Stanford (Bored)

32. Boise State - Vern Gagne/*dead team* 32.00 (32/32/32)**

 

* - one forfeit

** - two forfeits

 

And now if the season ended today here are how the bowl match-ups would look. I'll be updating this every week from here on. Remember the three BCS bowls are made up of the four conference champs and two at large teams. Also to be bowl eligible you have to finish with a winning record so if you don't have a winning record now I won't have you listed.

 

Of course as I was putting together I noticed we have only 13 teams with winning records so I guess it might be possible to make it to a bowl with a losing record. Loaded Glove gets the honor for the moment

 

Massengill Douche Country Flower Bowl: Washington State (At-large) vs. West Virginia (At-large)

 

Out Magazine Bowl: Ohio State (Pac-8 #3 or Big MAC #3) vs. Auburn (Mid South #3 or Big Atlantic #3)

 

KFC PETA Bowl: Oregon (Pac-8 #2) vs. Maryland (Big Atlantic #2)

 

Lucky Strikes Cigarettes Tar Bowl: Bowling Green (Big MAC #2) vs. LSU (Mid South #2)

 

Traditional Bowl presented by Adam & Eve’s Anal Lube: Stanford (Pac-8 #1/BCS at-large) vs. Notre Dame (Big MAC #1/BCS at-large)

 

Oxycotton Bowl: Syracuse (Big Atlantic #1/BCS at-large) vs. Georgia (Mid South #1/BCS at-large)

 

MILFHunter.com Bored Bowl: Virginia (BCS #1) vs. Minnesota (BCS #2)

I go to 6-1...and fall behind Dama, who has a losing record.

 

Shoot me now.

...and so far, you're in the 2nd biggest bowl...and he's nowhere in the bowl picture.

 

Quit yer' whining.

Anyone else seem to notice that the Big South teams seem to be getting penalized in the Strength Of Schedule column compared to other leagues? (NOTE: The Big Atlantic is getting this too)

 

As an example, I've got a better record (1/3 of BCS total) than UCLA, a team I beat, and have picked better answers than them (1/3 BCS total), but I'm getting ass-raped in Strength Of Schedule while they're getting moved to the top of the list because of it.

 

Is part of the reason why we're suffering due to Georgia forfeiting at least one game before Mike took over the team? Or is it because of the Out Of Conference scheduling being weak through no fault of our own?

That's slightly different... you got fucked because Georgia forfeited a game before you took over. Because of the way that forfeits are handled, it killed your correct choice percentage.

 

You've done a great job since you've taken over but, if you hadn't won all your games since doing so, you'd be near dead last because 1/3 of your BCS score was tanked.

That's total bunk. Shocking that one forfeit can cause so much damage.

The only person's strength of schedule that is hurt is by the team that forfeited so no it has no effect on anyone else. On the other question remember the strength of schedule is based solely on how your opponent picked that week and not what they did the rest of the season. I did it this way because unlike real football here we have no control over what our opponent does and it's irrelevent what your opponent does other weeks.

 

I'll look into what Mike's and iggy's ranking would have been without the forfeit but Teke you're only #13 in correct picks so you have had some luck in being 5-2. Gert has been #1 in picking games I think almost the entire contest but he only has a 4-3 record to show for it.

If Gert hadn't been late submitting his picks several times, he'd probably have won more games.

 

He put himself at a disadvantage this week by missing the early games and, thus, costing himself easy points.

Am I still up there b/c of the percentage I pick correctly? Because I always loses by like 1 pick?

That's what it looks like. The second number is your ranking as far as picks made. As far as total correct picks go, it looks like you're only behind Gert, myself, and Bored.

I'd have to look through the old picks to make sure but I believe this was the first week Gert actually was late with his picks and he would have lost by tiebreak this week even if he hadn't lost one point. Only difference would be he'd be alone at #1 in correct picks right now instead of tied with Edwin.

As an easier way to make sense of the BCS numbers, could we please get a list of the percentages picked correctly for each team? That could be used to determine how big of a gap there is between Edwin at the top and someone like Harley Quinn near the bottom.

Those damn tie breakers have gotten me the last 2 weeks. At least I can jump up in the rankings if I can put a few wins together.
