I'm seeing 29-24 Navy now... which would be impossible in OT.

Yahoo has 29-24 Navy in regulation.

 

ESPN has 29-24 Navy in OT, which can't happen.

 

Sportsline is still stuck at 24-17 Tulsa, but for some reason, their scores stop the first time anyone scores in OT.

 

Oy.

Geez, what a mess.

 

Ortonsault. :(

 

And this looks like another ugly week of picks for everyone as most had Minnesota, Navy and BG.

I'm a lousy 4 of 8 thus far, but I doubt many are much better.

I'll be up there with you. I'll have 6 of 14 if Houston can pull it out.

Carnival moves from 40th to 37th in the rankings. Congrats, E.

The new #1 is the old #1 as I'm sure you could figure out by the results, but Ortonsault still had a relatively strong showing so only drops one spot. Of course the CONTROVERSY~ will be my ranking even though I'm only 2-2 but I'm tied for 3rd in correct picks so there's your answer. Ya go ahead and call me dirty names like "Pac-10 referee" or something. But I'm not the only 2-2 team that cracks the Top 10 as you'll see. The other controversy will be the still missing nogoodnick. Sorry nick your 20th in correct picks right now at just 58.9% so you've been lucky. A lucky win for fellow undefeated phoenixrising cost them in the rankings. Veterans of the contest will know that rankings in even weeks always give some odd results because there's a bunch of teams at .500 which causes havoc with the rankings. Also the large number of no shows this week also screwed things up a bit.

 

Oh and the new feature that I mentioned last week debuts. Since I expaded to 40 teams this year, which I'm now thinking wasn't the best idea, I considered expanding the BCS rankings as well. Instead though I decided to go with an "Other Receiving Votes" category. This will be the teams ranked 11th thru 14th although they'll be listed in alphabetical order so you won't know your exact ranking but you'll know if your on the edge of the Top 10 or not.

Ortonsault only has 1 more correct game than me overall.

 

I cry bullshit.

 

Does defeating your opponent not matter in the rankings.

I gotta be up there in the overall correct picks. being 1-3 with an overall tied score with my opponents.

The formula is as follows: 45% of the ranking is your win/loss record, 45% of the ranking is your correct pick %, and 10% is your correct pick % against (aka strength of schedule).

Is Oregon State's horrible strength of schedule hurting them so much. Temple also played the pitiful Buffalo team.

 

With there being 6 undefeated teams (or close to that), the 45% win/loss ranking is Oregon State: 1.0. Temple: 7.0.

 

Therefore, there would need to be a large amount of people (at least 5) with the same pick percentage as Temple, for Oregon State to be below them.

 

Oregon State whines to the media!

Aw, I was sure I'd at least be in the "others receiving votes category" after three fairly decent wins. I guess I'm still getting punished for that opening loss where I was tied for last in correct picks.

Yes but he didn't need to cheat on the tiebreak to beat me.

 

I'm interested in where I stand, but I'm afraid I'll never get close enough to the top 10 to see. :(

He actually did.

 

Ortonsault always tries to view others' picks before making his own.

 

You're just blinded by your jealousy of my winning ways.
