If it's too late to take V-Tech and Air Force, I'll just submit the other picks in a few minutes.

 

Don't know if the games started yet. I know they do a lot of bullshit that may delay them.

Thats awesome, I can't be mad at losing now. However, fuck South Florida. I'm not picking them for the rest of the season to go along with my never pick U of L for the rest of the season. Michigan State too.

Looking at the differing picks for my matchup I thought I had a great chance at picking up another victory but the football gods have not been kind since Thursday night. I thought Michigan State was a definite win after the first half but its just my luck that all that had to change.

 

South Carolina needs a comeback vs. the Vols to keep my hopes alive or else my bowl hopes are pretty much done.

South Carolina has pulled a comeback out of their asses to keep me alive tonight.

 

Let's see if ASU can do the same.

Not yet, they haven't.

Compared to where they were at the half, going into OT is still "alive".

First order of business, Cuban Linx can't be beaten. After looking through last year's results I found out his last defeat came in Week 6 of last season which works out to a 17 game winning streak. Ya I probably just jinxed him. Also in non-rankings related news Mecca has become the first the player to clinch a spot in their conference championship game as we now have just three weeks left in the regular season. I'll get more into conference championships and bowl bids next week.

 

Now on to the rankings which has some serious CONTROVERSY~ after you get by the obvious #1. In fact this is such a surprise that I actually have to explain what has happened rather than just let you all figure what happened. Last week AboveAverage484 lost but moved up in the rankings in part because he had a solid week in correct picks in his loss and there were a ton of upsets around him. This week he lost again...and he moved up again in the rakings. Whaaaaaa? Yes it happened. He did lose but he lost by tiebreak and in the process also tied for one of the higher scores of the week. Now in the past he would get a big bump for "strength of schedule" but with it only being 5% of your ranking now it wasn't a big factor. The big reason he moved up is he moved from 5th to tied for 1st in correct picks. Also when you look at the standings now you'll notice we have an undefeated team but then no one loss teams and only three two loss teams with a whole bunch of three loss teams. So what has happened AboveAverage's win/loss ranking has barely dropped in the last couple of weeks while his correct picks rankings has continued to improve. It may seem unfair, and completely bizarre, that someone would lose two straight weeks and move up in the rankings but I'm not going to lose any sleep over someone doing a great job of picking games and being rewarded for it.

 

Also of note defending champ iggymcfly makes a huuuuuuge jump from out of the Top 10 to right into the thick of the Bored Bowl race while King can't buy a vote after his 2 out of 14 performance this week. And finally a Pac-8 team is in the Top 10 and it happens to be me. Ya this shit is fixed.

Yes yes yes! I really wanted to defend my title this year, but when I lost badly last week and dropped out of the Top 10, I was afraid that I'd blown my shot. Glad to see I'm still in good shape. Also, I'm lucky we weren't on the old system as Hawaii's 4 point effort against me would have been a killer.

 

If things continue to go well enough the rest of the season, Georgia Tech's improbable run from out of the Top 10 to a return trip to the Bored Bowl in this contest can mirror Georgia Tech's run from 1-3 in the ACC to a return trip to the ACC championship in real life. With Virginia's loss to NC State today, I'm feeling hopeful all the way around.
