Still haven't heard from Lando Griffin so I'm going to assign Cartman's Saturday picks as replacements if he doesn't submit his picks by tommorrow's deadline.

[Cartman]

Poor Lando

[Guest]

If Fat Mark can coach Kansas to a victory tonight, I pick up a win to start out. I don't think I've done that before.

 

I don't want to rely on the tiebreaker.

[teke184]

If Ole Piss can hold out against Memphis, I win straight-up.

 

 

w00t~! bitches.

 

The way things are going, I may have a perfect set of picks today.

 

My only dangerous one right now is BC over Wake. BC's up late in the 4th by a TD.

[teke184]

While you're not a lock, Mangina's team is up 21-0 near the half.

 

That one will get uglier by the end, just like Fat Mark.

[Guest]

They showed a picture of his face the other day on ESPN when I was flipping channels (I don't watch ESPN unless they're showing a live event, something more of you should do) and I about puked.

 

I could only imagine being on the sideline with him. "Could you run up to concessions and grab me a hot dog? Thanks son, you always understand."

 

And Kansas are up 35 at half, so that's a win. Cool.

[CanadianChris]

Today's lesson: NEVER pick Duke.

 

Still an easy win, but I had UConn down on my sheet until the last moment before I submitted it. I also had Wyoming over Virginia for a while, so it looks like I second-guessed my way out of a perfect week.

[Danville_Wrestling]

Looks like I'm going to fall on a tiebreaker unless Tennessee and California suddenly go cold on offense.

[MFer]

I'm gonna lose, which is pretty fitting considering what happened earlier today.

[Mecca]

All I need is Cal to hold on....

[HarleyQuinn]

I lost this week Although maybe I can salvage some pride if Mexico can win over UTEP.

[Vern Gagne]

10-2 so far.

[teke184]

12-0, looking for the big sweep if Cal and UTEP win.

[Hawk 34]

Not the best start but I pull a win off with the tie-break.

[Cuban Linx]

12-1 so far with Connecticut & Boston College giving me outright victory in the game of the week, looks like i'll keep a top 3 spot in the rankings.

[Secret Agent]

The two losses I took so far I went back and forth on so many times. Damn my state pride to hell on one of those losses as well.

 

I think I might have won even if UTEP looses as I have the tie breaker.

[Bored]

Congratulations to teke184 for becoming the first player ever to post a perfect week in the history of the contest, at least I think so as I can't remember it happening before.

 

I won't bother with posting conference standings until after Week 4.

[teke184]

Someone got a perfect week in the last year or two, but I can't remember who.

 

Still, being the 2nd person to do it ever is still pretty damn impressive since I pulled the Wyoming game out of my ass.

[Art Sandusky]

11-1 will do just fine.

Welcome to the most anti-climatic reveal of the Bored Championship Series Rankings ever as we know who #1 will be. As always everyone starts with a clean slate and the preseason rankings are irrelevent. If you bothered to read to my first post in the sign up thread you would have noticed that I tweaked the rankings again this year with Win/Loss record now making up 65% of your ranking, Correct Pick Pct. is 30%, and "Strength of Schedule" is now only 5%. Also back this year is the "Other Receiving Votes" category which lists the next four teams out of the Top 10 in alphabetical order.

 

Bored Championship Series Rankings thru Week 1

 

1. LSU - teke184 1.1

 

2. South Carolina - Cuban Linx 1.75

3. Virginia - Edwin MacPhisto 2.05

4. Nebraska - Mecca 2.05

5. Oklahoma - Secret Agent 2.6

6. Temple - Ortonsault 2.95

7. Georgia Tech - iggymcfly 3.5

8. Syracuse - CanadianChris 3.5

9. Texas - UTBroward 4.15

10. Hawaii - Fokai 4.7

 

Other Receiving Votes: Alabama (AlwaysPissedOff), Buffalo (Carnival), Florida State (King), Minnesota (Vern Gagne)

[Secret Agent]

Woot! After not breaking into any rankings last year this is a good start.

[Vern Gagne]

 

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

Man it sucks going 11/14, getting the big games right, and still losing. I should've known better than to pick Central Michigan since they got blown apart by UK last year but I seemed to have forgotten that when making predictions.

 

I guess if there's any positives to take away from this week it's that I had a decent percentage of correct picks and my loss isn't a conference loss.

[Art Sandusky]

I want California to fucking break off and float away. Yeah, the people in it too. Fuck you guys in your stupid ears. Your stupid, stupid ears.

[CanadianChris]

As always, it doesn't pay to win too big.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Fuck. Well, at least FCS football got some props today, so that makes me happy. I'm just hoping I can pull off a winning season this year. Came close this week to winning.

[Edwin MacPhisto]

I scored 4 times as many points as the actual Virginia team. Nice work, Coach Groh!
