2011-2012 Yahoo Sports College Football Bowl Pick'em

Didn't know you could adjust picks. But if I did how would you know which ones to adjust as crazy as bowl season is lol! You might get on a hot streak like I started out you never know! I may be right with you after today lol! That BamaGoose!!!!

You can thank BamaGoose...lol You're doing better than me. I have a whopping 6-10. I'm right there in no mans land where it's hard to climb up to the top. I might adjust my remaining picks and try for last place. i will probably have a better shot at a prize.

You can change your picks right up to a few minutes before each game kicks off. I've shot myself in the foot twice already by changing the FIU and SDSU games. I had the winners to start with and I just didn't feel comfortable with my choices. I call it a self adjustment, you know, a subconscious move that keeps me in my comfort zone. Kind of like being 4 under through 4 holes in golf. I knew I wasn't really that good. So I fired off two double bogies on the next two holes. That's just how it's always worked for me. Hence, I rarely win anything. But the last place thing I have a legitimate shot at.

I think 80% will win it. So it's still wide open.

You may be right. But to only miss 7 or so games out of 35 is pretty hard. Especially bowl games played after weeks of teams being idle.

 

[twofbyc]

it's hard, but I think as many people are playing, and some doing very well so far, I think it can happen. You are talking no point spread, after all. If someone wins with 70%, then they win but that's not a good straight-up percentage.
I'm sure some are doing their homework.

1.Runtheoption22 10 of 12

1.jdatide 10 of 12

10 players stand at 9 of 12.

15 players stand at 8 of 12.

20 players stand at 7 of 12 followed by 8 picking 6 of 12.

Bringing up the rear with a group low 5 games correct is bamamoss4.

For some reason the Yahoo page is showing me 8 of 12 when I have only missed 3 and am 9 of 12. Who does the updates or is it computer generated?

There's a tough game tonight. FSU vs The Irish. Which ND and FSU teams show up is the real bet here. Will it be the turnover happy Irish or the FSU offense that only gained 95 total yards of offense against UF? FSU's run defense is stout but their secondary's been suspect in the second half getting torched in all four of their losses. Can they hold off late game heroics from Irish record setting WR Michael Floyd?

18-years ago these two teams had their own 1 vs 2 matchup. To some degree this is a rivalry renewed. Remember, FSU was in the title conversation early and lost 4 games this year by a combined total of 21 points. While ND's four losses combined for a 35-point deficit. ND, 3-0 against the ACC this season will try for a sweep against the conference.

The two teams have three common opponents. Wake Forest, Maryland and Boston College. This game should prove a tough bet. Who ya got?

The site usually updates within 24 hours of the latest games played. My picks look updated. The overall leaderboard does show you with 8 of 12....I guess the lesson here is don't make Bamagoose mad. Just kidding. If the board's in error it'll be adjusted accordingly at the end so no one gets burned.

You're right!!! You do have 9 of 12 picks correct. I just looked at your picks and the board is in the wrong. Lets watch and see if it corrects itself. If not It will be corrected by us humans.

I figured it was computer error or something, what would computers do without us LOL?! It won't really matter after a few more games for me but just for the sake of not looking so bad now especially after looking so good early LOL!!!

At 9 of 12 you're only a pick away from the 1st place tie. I'm sitting at 8-12. I'm depending on an upset or two later on to even the field. I have a couple of haymakers up my sleeve. Remember other players can click on your picks and use the information as part of their strategy. Gamesmanship, as Lee Trevino would say, is the 15th club in your bag.

When I click on others picks it only shows their past picks and the game in progress. So....I guess my strategy is all in guessing lol! All I want is to be right on the last one though!!!

Only person who could se everyone's picks before the games would be the Commish, but only for those people who gave the Commish the right to edit their picks (which no one I know has ever done).

I looked at the group picks and y'all are correct. I can't see anything except picks for games already played and current games in the works. I don't know why I thought everyone could see everyone elses picks. My bad. Really that's how it should be in my opinion. It keeps people from picking a mirror image of someone elses and taking the fun out of it. IMO

Moan, the best I can tell, the computer has your correct pick count now, right?

What can i say?!! Just glad I am not betting any money on these games.

Maybe all my luck is being retained for the BCSC. I will be there! Roll Tide!!!

 

[mulletover]

We have a new leader Runtheoption22 with 16 of 18. That's pretty impressive. Five games play out today so we may see some seperation.

Tied for last with 8 of 18
57. RollTideRoll20
57. Kilgourtroutt (I had a good friend who played in a band with this name)

 

[tmrmbama]

It did not update my rank after yesterdays games but it does show my point total as 14 ... did this happen to anybody else.

 

[twofbyc]

MO, looks like there is definitely gonna be a tiebreaker involved - look at all the people separated by only 2 games. I dunno if my "80%" prediction is gonna hold, but it might.

 

[mulletover]

With 6 games left we have a tie at the top. StatHaldol and RollnWitDaTide each have 23 of 29 picks correct.


Tied for third with 22 of 29 picks:
