Pick the Upset

[elijah]

Some sort of college basketball forum game,

You pick one upset everyday that you think will happen, you post the game in this thread along with the line (according to the ESPN NCAAB Scoreboard at the time that you pick it NCAA College Basketball Scores - NCAA Basketball - ESPN)

If you pick it right, you get the amount of points that the line was.

I.e.) someone picks Butler over UNC, the line was -8, so that person gets 8 points.

At the end of the season, the person with the most points wins. I wouldn't be keeping track of it every single day, so it'd be somewhat a trust thing. Don't cheat, it's only a forum game. Can start today, but can't pick any game that already started or finished.

I likely won't pick one every day either, I feel like not many will pick one every day haha

Also, since you're a mod, could you add into the top post that one of the two teams has to be a Top 25 team

My mod powers only extend to the boundaries of the Husker forum so unfortunately I can't help you there

I don't think the top 25 thing should matter too much. I mean if you are picking an upset of none top 25 its probably not going to get you much anyways...for example Gophers/St Johns.

I think as long as the favored team is a power school(not two shitty mid majors it should be alright).


Anyways, I'll go with SDSU -5.5 against Zona.

I'm assuming we are always using the line that ESPN provides?

Yeah, this is probably a good point. Sounds about right.

Yes, that's the plan

Yeah I thought about it but I wanted to go for more than 1 pt.

But in my opinion that is a pretty sure fire 1 pt. Where as I need a great SDSU effort to get 5.5 lol

Easy money.

no rules about copying, right? 1) I didn't feel like thinking about it 2) rmilia is a genius 3) 13 points would be a nice start
