Bored's College Football Pick 'Em - Week 8


Recommended Posts

Posted
I'll just assign you replacement picks while your gone. 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.  :)

 

Just out of curiosity, which teams are currently on probation?

 

(Yes, I'm extremely bored.)

 

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. It won't happen again.

 

Can I still drink while on probation? Jee golly, I hope so.

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.

currently I don't think i have a chance of winning either.

 

That loss to Kotz when i was in the top 10 killed me. I still haven't fully recovered.

 

Where does this $50 come from?

Posted

14-3 Virginia Tech at the start of the 4th quarter.

 

 

Just short of an explosive LSU vs. Arizona State style 4th quarter, it looks like the person choosing the low score will get the tiebreaker.

No offense to the people who do forget, but how can you guys forget? You see a new topic formed, "Bored Week __ ", you simply come in and post your picks... what's so hard about that? The guys who forget are usually the ones who SHOULDN'T forget...

What usually happens with me is that I'll tell myself to make my picks Thursday afternoon after I get home from work, then get tied up with something and forget about it completely until I see the game on ESPN that night.

Knocked off number 1 baby!

 

Despite my little setback last week, I'm still coming for the top spot. I guarantee that at the end of the season, I'll be the Bored Bowl champion.

This one's coming down to LSU/Auburn for me. Go Tigers.

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.

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...

You're not a strong 4-4 but you're not a weak one either. Vern Gagne and DragonLordKaiba are the weakest at 4-4.

 

There's still a lot of room for movement in the contest. The difference between #2 in correct picks and #7 is only two games. #8 is three games.
