[Secret Agent 0]

Well, with the rest of my picks I'll either crash and burn or fly high. That's why I picked Air Force.

[Guest]

Two weeks in a row with a free point. I ain't complaining.

Thanks Cameron Colvin. I'll take my 4-1, even if I haven't made that many correct picks.

[Secret Agent 0]

I just went and checked. The game hadn't even kicked off at this point.

Week 5 Deadlines

 

Thursday, September 27th, 7:30/4:30 PM EST

 

[CanadianChris 0]

Not only did I get beat, I sucked complete ass this week. My run of 30 consecutive weeks in the top 10 looks to be at an end.

[Bored 0]

As King pointed out the deadline was 4:30 PM PST but also I got home from work before 5:00 PM, and the game had already started.

You were late.

You were late.

 

And this is what you get for never being late before. I better see the same strictness applied to everyone else, cause your no point crap for a 30 minute late deadline is costing me and there wasn't a damn soul on these boards that thought Boise state was losing that game.

 

Let the picks decide the game, not some no point for being 30 minutes late.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

I lose on tiebreaker. Damn you Oregon. Cal too.

[teke184 0]

I think I just made my way back into the Top 5 today, as today's upsets in college football have translated into some big upsets here in the Bored CS as well.

[Hawk 34 0]

This was a pretty solid week, which is strange because I was convinced I was headed to a 7-7 type week (although I could end up with that, but I scored the win regardless) as I was quite indecisive about the picks. Hopefully this can move me back into the top ten once again, delaying the inevitable collapse.

[Mecca 0]

Looks like I pulled out a win this week.......I'll take it.

Are you for real or just being a dick? Seriously first you lie about when you submitted the picks, then you lie about when the game actually kicked off, and now expect me to some exception for you? You are the first person to ever complain about this in the 3+ years of the contest. The deadlines are there for a reason. Back in Week 3 AboveAverage484 submitted his picks shortly after the Thursday game kicked off that week and he didn't whine about losing a point, he knew he was late. Would it be fair to Cuban Linx for me to suddenly change the rules for you? Hell you had an advantage on him because you could see his picks and see what his tiebreak guess was. You need to get over this.

[Hawk 34 0]

There are four/five days to submit the picks and you should have picked better in the differing games. You lost to the #2 team, you won't drop that far in the standings. You just put this week aside and win out, you don't cry the blues. It's fantasy picks on a message board, no need to be that bothered.

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

Thanks to Mr. Hill's 155 yards today against Michigan State I get my second consecutive win of the year to pull to 2-3. Crazy that I had to win on the second tiebreaker but the way the season has gone for me so far a win is a win in my book.

By a freakin' field goal. I think I need to start getting serious here.

5-0, beaten two #1 teams in two weeks, surely nothing can keep me out of 1st place this time.

Unless you submit your picks 30 minutes late and complain about it.

Unfortunately for you, SoS only covers the quality of the picks your opponent made against *you*, not their win total for the year.

 

 

You're still either #1 or #2, but it'll be determined by what UTBroward's been doing this year, pick-wise, compared to you.

[Vern Gagne 0]

I finally stepped it up this week.

[teke184 0]

I finally stepped it up this week.

What happened, you buy inside info from Dennis Franchione this week?

[Bored 0]

Ugly, ugly week, especially for me. Of the 14 Games to Make Picks For, 8 of them were "upsets" and results in some very low scores across the board. So for the second straight week the Top 10 almost gets completely redone. The big winners this week are King and Hawk 34 as they make huge jumps back into the Top 10 while nogoodnick makes a big drop out of the Top 10 as the Pac-8 is running away with worst conference honors right now. No one loss teams are above the two remaining unbeatens but this time around we do have a couple of 3-2 teams above 4-1 teams and which will lead to much CONTROVERSY~. Also a 4-1 team didn't even receive a "vote"!? Madness!

 

But of course since Cuban Linx has now knocked off two straight opponents who were #1 at the time he obviously is going to be #1. Right? Right? Uh oh...*runs away from angry Australians*

You would ave lost if I submited my picks on time. I guess this goes as a lesson to just submit the picks and not try and over-analyze the games which takes forever.
