I'm surprised that you didn't make a set of questions similar to the tiebreakers where whoever would get closer would get a point. That's a possible idea for consideration.

I've decided that next year I'm going have the championships be played over week 13 & 14 and just have the regular season be 12 weeks. There's too few games going on those weeks and best to combine them to create more differing picks.

And Fresno State scores on fumble return while LA Tech is trying to rundown the clock, pushing the total score (at the moment) to 55 and that means Syracuse has won the Big Atlantic title. This makes things verrrrrrrrrrrry interesting as the one sure thing going into this week was if Miami won they are going to the Bored Bowl. They might still as they had a nice little cushion over #2 thu #4.

I think this game could wind up at 69 or 70 points, which could make me the winner or make me have to depend on the 2nd tiebreak.

Well, Tulsa just took a 17 point lead with about 2 minutes remaining, so it looks like I am going to take the PAC 8 this year. I am shocked no one else picked Tulsa this week. They seemed like they were the better team going into the game, and proved it rather well.

 

My first Conference Championship win, and now it's onto a bowl against an underrated Northwestern team. Not bad considering my team started 2-5.

This is my first year doing this and a conference title win shows me that I can compete for a Bored Bowl spot next year. Two teams on good runs play each other in the bowl.

I've put in the results of the three finished match-ups and the picks based on the six games completed so far today. At this very moment this is how the Top 4 looks:

 

1. Miami 4.2

2. Alabama 5.0

3. Syracuse 5.1

4. LSU 5.2

 

It does look like Spiff will back his way into the Bored Bowl as their cushion coming into this week was just too big to lose. But you see it is way too close to call for #2 with the Mid South title game still to be decided.

You want something freaky?

 

If West Virginia, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Hawaii all win, there will be a TIE for second.

 

And let the record show that if I finish third, it's because my opponents were awful. How the hell am I THIRTY-SECOND OF 34 in opponents' % correct?

Hmmm somebody has been recording all the results I see. Yup your opponents were terrible. I wouldn't be so sure about the three-way tie thing.

 

Unrelated, Oregon losing means that no bowl eligible team will be left out of the bowls.

Actually, someone couldn't wait to find out if he was still in it, and went back this afternoon and did a lot of work in Excel. :lol:

 

There can't be a three-way tie, but me and APO can still end up tied if three of those four teams win.

Right now regardless of what happens in the Hawaii game, it looks APO will beat you out. If Fresno State shows up or if Northern Illinois doesn't blow it with 10 seconds left, you would have finished #2. I'll still wait until the end of the game Hawaii game late tonight to post the final results.

 

teke will end up #4 but I'm gonna bump him out of the BCS as he'd end up playing a team he already played.

Bah... I go from the Benchwarmer Bob Bored Bowl to the Lucky Strikes Cigarettes Tar Bowl?

 

That fucking sucks!

 

 

I guess LSU = Oregon for the purposes of this contest then...
