Bored's College Football Pick 'Em - Week 14

[Bored]

First off we need to name the 10th bowl game. I only got one PM'd suggestion and the rest are blatantly stolen from EDSBS.com. I'll only vote if I have to break a tie.

 

As a reminder the way the conference championships work is that they will be played over the next two weeks with a total of 20 games to make picks for. There will be 13 games this week and then next Sunday I'll post the final 7 games plus the tiebreak questions. Please note that all of your picks must be sent to me by PM. I am skipping the Thanksgiving game since it's terrible match-up but there will be three games on Friday to makes picks for. I will be traveling this year for the holiday but I should have internet connection. Just letting you know in case there is a delay in me posting your picks.

 

Finally if you haven't already, check the Week 13 thread for the bowl picture. There is a lot at stake over the next two weeks beyond just the Bored Bowl.

 

Week 14 - Part 1 Deadline: Friday, November 28th, Noon EST/9:00 AM PST

 

Edit: Double asterisk means I received the Part 2 picks.

The Bailout Bowl is the most timely, but I have to rep the 7th Floor Crew.

[kkktookmybabyaway]

Go Bailout Bowl!

 

And why did my Washington State whatever-they're-called have an asterisk? Was I not eligible for one of these meaningless exhibitions bowl games?

[KingPK]

Guess that PMed suggestion is doing rather well. The pre-game party will be held at the most expensive hotel in town with a Kobe beef buffet and every guest gets a goodie bag full of diamonds and a government-issued blank check.

Mecca did not submit his picks to me until 2:14 PM EST/11:14 AM PST today so that was after the West Virginia/Pitt kickoff but before LSU/Arkansas. If Vampiro, UZI, or AboveAverage have a major objection to allowing his picks for LSU/Arkansas and UCLA/ASU to count today please let me know, otherwise I will count them.

As long as he beat the kick off for those games then it's cool with me.

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

Looks like the game between Chris's Syracuse and my SDSU is going to split on differing picks this week to add suspense for next week.

[KingPK]

Wow, the SE7 title could come down to a late field goal in the SEC title game.

[Bored]

Actually no, Rutgers flogging of Louisville tonight has wrapped up the ESS EEE 7 title for Danville Wrestling. That also eliminated Urban Warfare from bowl consideration which is good news for those teams on the bubble.

[Danville_Wrestling]

Woo hoo! Southeastern Seven Conference Champ baby!

[KingPK]

Yeah, I'm a total idiot that forgot what conference he's in. I meant that the PAC-8 title game could come down to a FG because we have two differing picks and a 4 point difference in the tiebreaker.

[CanadianChris]

This'll be funny if the SEC title game lands right on 61 points. I've never had to go to the second tiebreaker before.

[KingPK]

DON'T RUN IT BACK!!!!

 

Whew. Now I need Arizona State.

[Bored]

Updates

 

-Vampiro69 has defeated Mecca by tiebreak to win the Big MAC Championship.

 

-AboveAverage484 has clinched the WAC Championship as HarelyQuin would lose out on the tiebreak.

 

-CanadianChris has defeated Porter by tiebreak to win the Big Eight Championship. Porter is eliminated from bowl consideration so all 7 win teams are now assured a bowl game.

 

Only one undecided is the Pac-8. UZI has a one point lead but KingPK owns the tiebreak so their match-up will be decided by the ASU/Arizona game.

[CanadianChris]

Big Eight championship, woohoo!

 

[HarleyQuinn]

Ouch, baby... ouch

[Cuban Linx]

all 7 win teams are now assured a bowl game.

 

Take THAT Bored Bowl Curse!

 

At least now i get a chance to get a 4th consecutive bowl victory, even if it is in the Bored Bowl equivalent of the PapaJohns.com Bowl or something.
