I just plain sucked all year.....which makes sense though. I literally had no time to follow College Football as a whole this season.

When I started this job I told them I can work as often as they need me, but I will not work on any day which there is a Nebraska Football game taking place, and if that was going to be a problem I would have to find a different place to work.

They agreed to it. But because of that I now work my ass off and miss a lot of big time games.

From what I can tell, RA was able to see most of the games this season and has been probably the most accurate out of all of us in his conclusions and pickems.

It pays off to watch em all.

This is how bad it's been for me this year.........

I have not seen Florida State play yet. Yes, I said it. How embarrassing is that?

I don't even know why Winston won the Heisman.....all I have to go off of is his stats......which were pretty damn outstanding. But as for how he looked on the field or anything like that......I couldn't tell you.

I have done well in the bowl games but especially early when it is a bunch of games vs no name teams. I find myself during the season watching more games with teams like Marshall, Utah St, San Diego St, and teams like that. Being single for the first football season in a long time I have watched more football than ever.

I watch the Thursday night games and all of the Nebraska games.

Other than that I only watch 'other games' every other weekend. I don't watch much "other football" when my kids are over (every other weekend).

I make my picks in 1/2 hour - 45 minutes using stats available to anyone.

I didn't have 45 minutes to make my picks this season to be honest. All of my posts have been from my phone for the past 6 months. My life's a bitch right now en sech

Red_Alert will have an asterisk by his name though since he picked Georgia.

I get a toilet bowl by my name.

Dang, you've got me sheddin' a tear en sech. :violin:

I'm on a 4 game losing streak right now. :gaah:

Pretty sure if I manage to tie for the most correct picks, I'll lose the 1st tie-breaker. I was 313 yds short. :L

Have you done poorly?

You were one of a few threatening for the 'season title', no?

Some updates.

1 guy is in the lead with a 19-10 record. There are 2 guys at 18-11. 1 of the guys with 18 wins has the same remaining picks as the 1 with 19 so he has no shot at winning.

Good luck in the rest of the games.

Don't omit Sandhill Husker (17 wins). He can still win it.

It's down to three people.

Red_Alert (19 wins)

Remaining Picks
Missouri
Ohio St
Houston
Ball St
Fla St
1st Tie Breaker: 793 of 1106

Jed Burks (18 wins)

Remaining Picks
Missouri
Clemson
Vandy
Ball St
Auburn
1st Tie Breaker: 861 of 1106

Sandhill Husker (17 wins)

Remaining Picks
Oklahoma St
Ohio St
Vandy
Ball St
Auburn
1st Tie Breaker: 895 of 1106

Sandhill needs Oklahoma St to beat Missouri tonight to stay in the title chase. He also needs Ohio St to beat Clemson to eliminate Jed outright. If he wins both, he'll then need Vandy AND Auburn to win the title over me.

Jed just needs Missouri to beat Oklahoma St tonight to get Sandhill off his tail and eliminate him outright.
He then needs Clemson to beat Ohio St tonight to tie me. We will then have 2 other different picks. Vandy (jed) vs Houston (me) and Auburn(jed) vs Fla St (me).
If we split them Jed will win the Bowl Title with the 1st tie-breaker.

I'm gonna come back and win this bitch

:nono:

You CAN still beat me with Clemson, Vandy, Ark St, Auburn (all 4) and the tie-breaker, but you CAN'T win the Bowl Title.

Jed has you eliminated.

Aqwk is the other guy with 18 wins but like I said before, he has the same remaining picks as RA so he can't win.

That good early start I had saved my ass

You don't have to get the Ohio St win tonight either.

You can still get the Vandy and Auburn wins to beat me with the tie-breaker.

Just think, you might get to pick FNG's avy yet. :dhd:

Edit: If Missouri wins
