Wow.

I would've thought you'd have a hard time finding 21 people in here who agree on the time of day. I guess to at least some extent, this represents how far C-USA has fallen in the past two years.

W/ Calipari as their coach, Memphis is going to own that Conference as long as they stay there. Since there is no penalty for playing in a non-major conference in Basketball, I see no reason why Memphis would want to leave.

You mean since the Big East took Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette and USF? And C-USA replaced them with UCF, Marshall, Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa? Not all that shocking to see the conference decline a bit.

I didn't say I was shocked to see that the conference had declined "a bit". But I guess I am a little shocked that the conference has declined to such a point that Memphis is a unanimous pick on this board to win a short conference tournament where, at least in theory, anything could happen.

Two words: BCS revenue. If the Big East comes calling, that is.

He's going to have a tough time selling future recruits, regardless of how nice their facilites are. C-USA used to have a great tv contract for basketball, which it no longer has. Memphis will still be the best team in C-USA, but that isn't saying much at all these days.

Terry is very correct in saying that Memphis would leave C-USA in a heartbeat of BCS money was thrown at them.

The time is now 3:00 PM CDT and the time stamps are whack.

Pac10
UCLA 14
WSU 5
Oregon 1
USC 1

I'm surprised nobody took a flyer on Arizona. They're still a bunch of freakish athletes and they're still coached by that guy who remarried awkwardly soon after his first wife died.

Oh, somebody did.

They took a flyer over them, and yelled "Quack Quack" as they shit on their heads.

Updates as of Saturday mornings

That's what I get for taking risks.

New update, I changed the format a little. With only 5 games remaining I changed the number in praenthesis to the number of games open. Thus, if you are showing 27 (4) you have 27 pts and a chance to score on 4 or the 5 games for today.

Also, props to LB45 who started out in the cellar but his picks have come through.

Saw that and thought "L45...WTF???"

Nice run.


If I lose because of Texas A&M CC....I'm going to have to insult somebody, or something.


Did you clowns think I was joking about Oregon?


B12 probably decides this one.

You can only imagine the pain that typing "GO TEXAS" is causing me.

Hmmm...

Six points back with 5 games to play. Shit.

Quit sticking me with that gawddamned fork...I'm done already!

Looks like a nice race to the finish for those close to the top.

Without doing too much math, my very rough analysis tells me if Kansas wins today, Sis probably takes it. If Texas wins, I'll probably come out on top.

My over-the-top homer pic is looking like the difference maker.

Final standings. Thanks to everyone for playing.

Thanks for setting it up Sky. The Texas/Kansas game had me sweating a little bit.

I still like Kansas to take it all.

Dinsdale got his picks in exactly one minute before I did, so that gets him the #2 spot. Directly under Cicero. Tiberious is gonna be jealous.

Props to Cicero.

Kinda cool that it came down to an OT game, I guess.

Nice job Cicero
