Conference Championship Schedule for 12/5

[Mikey]

WTF is with this schedule?

You have the SEC game going off at 4:00 p.m. EST.
Then you have the Pac 12, B1G and ACC all going at the same time.

What kind of sense does that make? There may be a lot of remotes worn out on Saturday.

I blame this on 88.

What do I care...I won't be home anyway. I'll be watching the Pac12 game on my phone in SFO and on a plane.

I'll be 5 rows up on the 50yd line for UH vs Temple. That's all that matters.

Hopefully Bammer comes in overconfident and loses to Florida. That might shut up their obnoxious fans on this board.

You're too old to be doing tech shit like that. You'd look silly.

Nothing to worry about there. I look silly anyway.

[Goober McTuber]

A couple of things.

What is the process for choosing which game goes in the tiebreaker slot? Temple-Houston? Why not go with a game we'll all actually be watching?

Also, there's no abbreviation specified for Stanford, but a couple of us went with STN.

Don't get me wrong. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to embarrass myself on a weekly basis, so thanks for doing this.

You mean you won't be clearing your schedule to watch that storied rivalry? In fairness, it is the best game on during the noon time slot. I suspect Lefty was throwing a bone to Go Coogs...

Your mother and father only met once. And I believe when they did meet, money exchanged hands.

Each week there is some thought that goes into which game is the must pick. Since it is a tie breaker, I usually want to find a game that will have a wider range of point possibilities. Missouri vs Kansas isn't going to have many people put up a number above 40. (Granted that would be punishment if anyone was forced to watch that this season.) So generally I try to go with games where the guesses are going to be across a wider spread. That said there are some games that have so much board attention that it seems like it has to be the must pick game.

Mgo is correct in that I will also throw out a game or two a year that has interest to some posters. Lot's of you would not have given the Cougar High game much of a look this week, but now a few more of you might glance over there. In the same train of thought I usually have RICE as one of the must pick games each season. And when Milton is around I usually throw a Cal game into the mix as well.

I wasn't complaining, and wouldn't have mentioned it at all but I was going to post about Stanford anyway. If you're going to throw Rumps a bone, make sure it has some meat left on it. Shamu's gotta eat.

Yeah didn't take that as a complaint, just thought I would share since there were a few questions this year.

Wait -- we've been doing this for how many years, and some people didn't realize the must-pick is usually a matchup between teams that the game entrants root for, when possible, or involves at least one team with a fan here?

Alrighty.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. I think there's a few games there that would qualify. A couple of them I'll actually watch. And yes, I knew that Lefty always chooses the must-pick.
