Jwolt92's first Annual "You Suck" pickem

[jwolt92]

I came up with this idea today, or maybe it's been thought of before but I think it'll be fun.

Each week you pick 3 teams, but here's the catch. You want the teams that lose by the most each week. A few rules though:

No FCS teams. So no you can't pick Chattanooga to get their assess whooped by Bama
1 team has to be a Group of 5 vs. Group of 5 team.
1 team has to be a Power 5 vs. Power 5 team.
1 team can be anybody vs. anybody
Running total of points, 20 point loss is worth 20 points.
Picking a team and then they win is worth -10 points.

For the sake of the argument, Notre Dame is P5

I'll keep a running total on a spreadsheet so you just have to pick the teams each week.

Example time:

Team A vs. Team B. You pick team B and they lose by 14
Team C vs. Team D. You pick team C and they lose by 20
Team E vs. Team F. You pick team F and they win by any total

For that week you would score 24 points

Anybody in? I'd like to have at least 10 to do this

Kansas football just became relevant.

I'm in, I'm sure you'll get way more than 10.

 

[jwolt92]

I just wanted to set a soft limit so there was at least a target at the start. Once it's past 10 it can be any number and I'm cool with it

 

[jwolt92]

Apparently I can't keep editing my post, so I'll add the new ones on a new post.

I'm definitely in. Sounds fun.

 

[Deep Creek]

Hell yeah. Anything for a fellow Cardinal fan!

 

[jwolt92]

@ericd7633 and @Deep Creek got you both


I'm adding everyone to the spreadsheet as I go since I APPARENTLY can't edit my original post....

 

[jwolt92]

Also, that's 6

I know @OregonDucks and @MAIZEandBLUE09 would want to do something like this. And our newest member (my friend/roommate) @Jamo is in

 

[fishinabarrel]

Sounds fun. Il do it

 

[jwolt92]

Sounds fun. Il do it

Gotcha. That makes 7 officially

 

[bksballer89]

I'm in. A weekly reminder would be nice

 

[jwolt92]

Gotcha. That makes 8! And Absolutely, I'll give everyone a reminder on at least Wednesday night if there aren't picks yet so Thursday games can be picked

Glad this is being received with such positive reviews. I think it adds an interesting twist to making picks and makes you dig deep on those group of 5 games in the middle of the season

Already scoped out week 1 and have my picks ready to go.

As soon as I had 4 people interested I started looking at matchups wondering who I would take. Have a few in mind that I'm hoping will be golden
