mjp28 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Whoa with only two Monday games left it is really close with the top 4 having a shot depending on the games picked and the results. Right now just 1 point separates #1 and #2. Check it out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "might" about it... if he picks two winners, then he's got it. Sneaky trying to influence others to his picks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the various combinations of points left by the four players. If everyone misses everything then Mark O. wins by 1, eh ? Might happen.

Are you going to flip a coin? In any event that might be a tricky choice LSU seeking their first undefeated season since 1959 -or- the defending champions Clemson. Should be a good game. One thing is pretty sure after the game one will be #1 and the other #2. OHIO STATE should be #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I"m on a hot streak. After screwing up every couple of games, I finally sunk to 11th place because: I went with the big majority and picked Auburn for big points. LOST Then I went with two upsets, which you HAVE to pick ...and always happen... but Wisconsin LOST. and I went with another huge upset. Stupid Baylor. lol l 18Minnesota Golden Gophers10-2 31 12Auburn Tigers9-3 24 15% 85% 35 pts Rose Bowl Game By Northwestern Mutual Wed, Jan 1 5:10PM ESPN Final 6Oregon Ducks11-2 28 8Wisconsin Badgers10-3 27 52% 48% 36 pts Allstate Sugar Bowl Wed, Jan 1 8:45PM ESPN Final 5Georgia Bulldogs11-2 26 7Baylor Bears11-2 14 74% 26% 37 pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Well Miami of Ohio had the early lead -but- La 17-7 in the 3rd and looking stronger.

mjp28 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 It comes down to 3 options for 3 players: If mjp and Gumby lose mark wins. If mjp wins and Gumby loses mjp wins If Gumby wins then Gumby wins..... that's easy! ........edit add, and Browns149 got screwed by Miami they blew a shot at getting back into the game or he'd be #1 now with a 41 pick left.

Mark O Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 My pick is not changing. I'm staying with what I had from day 1 and will ride it out. Hoping to win this again even though confidence points still suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to win this again even though confidence points still suck. I'm glad that you said that I much prefer the lines it makes almost every pick somewhat equal in difficulty. BUT the con points do put a whole new dimension into the game with the "sure winners" and longshots on how to allocate your points -or- do you save the big points all toward the end where you can pull the comeback move. Either way it is an entertaining contest very similar to the March Madness college tournament which is coming up real soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And Gumby no hints on your favorite brand of tigers, bayou or Carolina ???

I wouldn't play if it was based on point spreads, this format is much more fun (to me anyway). I always seem to suck at the "low value" picks.

Besides the BROWNS of course I've enjoyed college more than the NFL for years now. .......oh being retired helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
