Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Yikes. I thought I had a good thing going with Illinois, and New Mexico could've gone either way. But WHAT THE HELL was I thinking picking Wazzu.

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 So much for any shot at being undefeated again, unless Illinois and Missouri now go scoreless for almost two quarters i'll lose. Stupid tiebreakers.

Bored 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Time for the first rankings of the year. Again the preseason rankings were just their for the opening week and everyone starts from scratch. Now for the first week since obviously we have so many identical scores it leads to a lot of ties in the rankings so I do use the preseason rankings to break those ties. As already mentioned in the sign up thread, same BCS "formula" as last year (65% for W/L, 30% for Correct Pick%, 5% for "Strength of Schedule") and also again will have the "Other Receiving Votes" category which the teams ranked 11 to 14 in alphabetical order. Now it took a while last year for any CONTROVERSY~ but hey we got some in Week 1! 909 was the only player to score 11 points but he misses the top spot by an eyelash. Bored Championship Series Rankings thru Week 1 1. Buffalo - Carnival 1.35 2. Florida State - 909 1.4 3. Georgia Tech - iggymcfly 1.7 4. Ohio State - Gert T 1.7 5. Texas - Broward83 2.75 6.
