Anyone seen @jedburks ?

I have seen him

He drank way too much alcohol last night and has been dealing with some family emergency stuff and sitting by a toilet all day puking. He is getting ready to eat dinner and will do the Pickem results soon.

That drunk bastard apologizes for the delay

 

[tometom]

I hope I don't get his poop stain. I haven't even looked to see how my pics came in. I've typically fallen flat on my face the week after winning one.

I went with the new strategy and picked every team opposite of what I thought would win for the most part

oops

As usual, the final week (aka Championship Week) is a sprint. Good luck to all

Recapping the season a bit before the final week.

There are 130 FBS teams. Nebraska is not eligible to be on the pickems list. All 129 teams were on the pickems list at least once.

Teams that showed up the most on pickems:
All showed up 8 times each
Virginia
USC
Temple
Syracuse
North Carolina
Iowa St

Teams that showed up the fewest:
All showed up 1 time each
Liberty
Kansas
Georgia Tech
Bowling Green

The season loser is pretty close to being wrapped up. The season winner is very much in doubt. The top 4 are within 6 games of each other.

That is weird because I assumed you were giving more weight to Nebraska opponents when they were playing someone other than Nebraska. Being how no Nebraska opponents made your list, I couldn't have been more wrong.

Nope, I look at the full week's slate of games and pick the 20 best ones in my opinion. Never pay attention to the conference or anything else.

Ok "best ones" meaning the most difficult ones to predict a winner. Only games that are guaranteed to be on the list are games vs 2 ranked teams. So even if Clemson is playing some garbage ACC team that is ranked #25 then the game is still on there. This last week is usually always just 10 games so I just put all the games on the list no matter what.

Back to back L's

No fear....I'll be joining you on an unrelated 1 week avatar bet, where I was sure the Huskers could win more than 5 fucking games.

LOL@me

[HuskerPower52]

Well that's what you get for having optimism

 

[corn train]

I forgot about the fertberl today Bert facepalm

 

[popeyecv64]

I like little Michell Jackson

he does that moon walk and all

 

[HuskerPower52]

as always thanks Jed, This is always a ton of fun and something I look forward to every year. (Also something I could never do accurately)

 

[Red_Alert]

Well fuck.

Missed the first game thinking bowls would be at night.

Never mind that the deadline time is in the Thread Title.

 

[tometom]

Shit, I completely forgot at work today and took off early. Will try and do when I get home.

 

[tometom]

Crap, not sure I'll make it home. I'm taking Utah State in this 6:30 game. Will do the rest as soon as I get home.

 

[HuskerPower52]

I was tardy to the party as well
