Bored 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 A reminder as to how the conference championships work as we have one player who was not part of the contest last year when I changed to this format. There will be a total of 20 games, for this first week there will be 12 games to make picks for and next week there will be 8 games plus the two tiebreaker questions, which I will post those games in this thread next Sunday. All picks must be sent to me by PM with the exception of phoenixrising because he's my opponent and there's no point in sending his picks by PM. For you phoenix my picks will be up Wednesday night, you are free to wait to make your picks until then if you so choose. It probably won't matter anyways as I think I always lose to you. For rest of the match-ups I will post the picks only when both players have submitted picks to me. Now this year I did include the Thanksgiving game as it was too big of a game to skip so it might be a good idea to get your picks in the day before so you don't forget. For those of you not playing in the conference champions but who have locked up bowl bids or are holding out hope to get the last bid, the bowls will be announced at the conclusion of the conference championships two weeks from now. I'm only setting one deadline but it will basically work the same way as any other week in terms of losing out on a game if you don't get your picks in on time. Week 13 Deadline Thursday, November 22nd, 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PST Week 13 Match-ups Western Atlantic Championship #5 Virginia* (Edwin MacPhisto, 8-4) vs. #10 Boise State* (Vitamin X, 9-3) - GAME OF THE WEEK Southeastern Seven Championship #1 South Carolina* (Cuban Linx, 10-2) vs. UTEP* (Angel Grace Blue, 7-5) Big 8 Championship #3 Nebraska* (Mecca, 9-3) vs. Oklahoma* (Secret Agent, 6-6) Pac-8 Championship #7 Stanford* (Bored, 8-4) vs. UCLA* (phoenixrising, 7-5) Big MAC Championship #8 Rutgers* (the pinjockey, 7-5) vs. Miami of Ohio* (Hawk 34, 7-5) Week 13 Match-ups to Make Picks For - Part 1 THURSDAY USC at Arizona State FRIDAY Nebraska at Colorado Boise State at Hawaii SATURDAY Virginia Tech at Virginia Maryland at N.C.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted November 24, 2007 Ladies and gentlemen, your WACky Champs! Much love to Tennessee, Virginia Tech, and Colorado. Shootouts are my specialty. EDIT: Also, it's as if Bored wanted me to win. This makes me 4-0 in Games of the Week. EDIT 2: That's a 15 yard penalty, unsportsmanlike conduct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
