Bored 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 Again as mentioned in the Week 9 thread I'm skipping over the Tuesday and Wednesday games. Yes the two Friday games are national t.v. games and not just games I threw on there. Now I did ligthen the number of low level games for Saturday I believe this week but that doesn't mean it's easier to make picks. Lots of tight mid level games in the major conferences this week. For Tennessee I'll wait another week before declaring them a dead team and allowing someone else to use their picks for them just like I did with Boise State. We'll see if Kotz is around to make picks.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 Actually, the funny thing is that if I really wanted them to drop, the best way to do it would be to tank the week, and pick all the games wrong to kill their strength of schedule. Beating them badly is probably going to help them more than anything else I could do. I'll pass on that though. I'll just take the high road, and be happy to keep my undefeated record, and know who the real 1 and 2 are. Edit: Figured out the answer to the question I was asking at the end of the post.

Bored 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 I ommitted Tennessee/Notre Dame because almost no one is going to pick Notre Dame in Knoxville. Hey I seemed right on by not putting Tennesse/South Carolina as that game didn't end up being much of a contest. Remember I'm no longer going by the national television schedule.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 Bravesfan, obviously if you count the forfeit, I'll be way behind you. I was just saying that since I took over the Bowling Green team, I've done better than everyone except for maybe Mike. I've been undefeated since taking over, and even if my strength of schedule hasn't been as good as yours, I've still got three more picks right by the data that you so handily provided.

Fökai 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 Bravesfan, obviously if you count the forfeit, I'll be way behind you. The forfeit doesn't factor into your strength of schedule, which is weaker than most of the people in the top ten (including me). The point is, if MY strength of schedule is keeping me from the #1 or #2 slot, you're in worse shape than I am. You can't consider yourself the "uncrowned #1 or #2 seed" because you have beat a few weak opponents (weeks 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9) on the way to an undefeated record since you took over.

And looking once again at your handy-dandy results, if you'd played my "easy schedule" since I took over 6 weeks ago, you'd be 4-2, not 6-0. Actually, with your schedule (which you went 6-0) I would go 5-1, with more convincing wins. *Week Five tie with your opponent, Michigan State, had me winning the tiebreaker (MSU had 63, WSU had 40, tiebreaker score was 35). With my schedule, which I went 2-4 with, you would've gone 3-2-1 (Bored didn't release your tiebreakers from Week Nine due to the forfeit). Three of the games were tied (two you won). so although it helps your record, I wouldn't do much better with your picks. The best I could run with your stats is a (7,5,6), which isn't enough to get into the top two. So basically, it all comes back down to your strength of schedule, determined by OPPONENT'S POINTS, which keeps you from moving anywhere. Bored has the official numbers, but it's easy to pinpoint where you are. You have a 2 in the first column, are running worse than my 5 (which couldn't be much better without the forfeit) and are running worse than my 6 in your third column (I'd guess 12), so unless you have (2,6,7) you're not in the top two.
