Of course if it's more than one week you won't be eligible to win the contest...not that you had to worry about that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just out of curiosity, which teams are currently on probation? (Yes, I'm extremely bored.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What are the terms of this probation? I understand that I'm on it for missing several weeks, but I had no internet connection, so I had no choice.

Jee golly, I hope so. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you don't submit picks more than one week out of the year you become ineligible to win the contest. The idea being that I want the winner of the contest to have participated the entire year especially since there is money at stake. If there is a lack of bowl eligible teams you still would have a shot of a bowl game if you finish with a winning record but those who played all year will get first crack.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 OK, I'm 12-1 in the contest this week, (with Auburn and LSU still to go), with the Michigan State/Northwestern game being my only loss. If I don't move back into the Top 5 this week, there's got to be something weird with the rankings. Even better, I'm 9-2 on my college football bets this week for a net of $350, only losing Sun Belt games that I had no business betting on (Troy State/FIU and North Texas/La. Tech.

Bored 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 This had the be the widest difference in correct picks all year with several great performances (three 13 out 14's) and several bad ones. I feel bad for teke as 9 out of 14 isn't bad but because of some huge weeks by a few in the contest they were leaped in correct pick % portion of the rankings and take a two spot drop overall. Same thing happend to AlwaysPissedOff. Speaking of which Secret Agent's huge week vaulted them to #2 in correct pick %. They are a sleeper in the contest as their 4-4 record is holding them back. Oh and iggy won't be whining about the rankings, for this week at least. By the slimmest of margins... 1. Georgia Tech - iggymcfly - 2.7 2. Miami - Spaceman Spiff - 2.8 3. Florida - Agent Bond34 - 4.0 4. Ohio State - Gert T - 5.1 5. Alabama - AlwaysPissedOff - 6.15 6. LSU - teke184 - 6.4 7. Syracuse - CanadianChris - 6.8 8. Texas A&M - Secret Agent - 7.2 9.
