I was about to complain, as I was certain I had 8 correct this week. Then I went back and checked the lines from last week, and saw that Nebraska only had gotten 2.5 against Oklahoma. I thought the line was 4.5.

Congrats to those in the finals.

Not lobbying for a spot in the coveted playoff, but still head scratching why L45B gets in over myself and FLW Buckeye with less %........ :?

I can't believe I didn't pull a 2-8.

Yeah, props to 88, I suck at bowl games so you don't have to worry about me.

Congrats to all those that are still in it, and double that for those that had the better season and got in.

Not to sound like a parrot, but props to 88 for running this. Things went smooth as silk.

You and FLW Buckeye made picks all 14 weeks. So your percentages are 76/140 (54.29%) and 75/140 (53.57%), respectively. L45B did not make any picks in week 2 of the game. So his pick percentage is 73/130 (56.15%). No one else who made picks in all three of the last weeks and who did not win a week had a higher percentage than L45B. You guys, unfortunately, are like Michigan State and Boise State in the BCS. Close, but no cigar...
So if L45B had been around / decided to participate in week 2, I'd probably be in...sounds about right...(BCS).....and his allegiances, though purely coincidental, probably indicate a 2nd shooter from the grassy knoll.

If you create a disgruntled participant exemption, I sure as HELL better get that one!

I can't apologize for making it into the finals, this is the system we all agreed upon. It is what it is. I'm just glad I have the opportunity to take my 6-game-a-week average into some steeper competition.

Sincerely,
Coach Speak

Food for thought -- us "big boys" at the top of the standings, if we bet every single game straight-up, would have broke even at the sportsbook.

I've been impressed with this pick 'em game set-up, thus my participation the past two years.... although a monkey flinging darts probably had a better chance of winning a week than I did.

Props to 88 indeed, as well as all you fucks who make this a damn tough contest to even get a sniff at.

You all are lucky I missed getting my picks in two times after my surgery. I might have taken the overall as well.

I'm in the same boat. Missed two weeks so I had 53.33% overall correct of the picks I did make. I think Wolverine Steve also missed two weeks, so his correct percentage was 55.00%.

I damn near won the last week as well. Had 7 right, and two of my losses (Nebraska and Washington) failed to cover by 1/2 point each. Either one would've made me the winner.
