[TarHeelNation11]

Bump. Updated through 12/23.

 

[toophly1124]

Bump

 

[coryfly]

I think I'm 15-8, but there are still two games left tonight (which I look to go 1-1 on if things stay as they are at half).

Held so think I'm 16-9 now.

 

[MWHeels]

Unfortunately for me, my 4-9 record is correct. And it's not getting any better with today's games.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Bump.

Rankings have been updated as of the end of Wave 3 (December 27th). Does not include the games that happened yesterday. @coryfly and @gunslingerdick are pulling away from the pack a bit.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Bump. Rankings are up to date through Wave Four, i.e. up until the Louisville game happening right now. @coryfly

 

[coryfly]

It will all come crashing down at some point.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Final standings, we have a tie!! @coryfly and @toophly1124 both sit atop the leader board at a record of 22-17. Please see the red text at the bottom of this poast for tiebreaker info. Cory and Tooph, please email me your tiebreaker picks at zhamilton1989@gmail.com

Once I have both picks from you (and provided there's no duplicates), I'll poast them here so we can all see and cheer along as the championship game is going on. The first one to email me gets first "dibs" on a particular number. I.E. if Cory emails me first and selects 45 as total points scored in the game, he gets dibs on that number and tooph has to pick a different number. I will alert you via email if any duplicates arise.

@coryfly : 22-17

@Hark_The_Sound_2010 : 14-25


FOR OUR TIEBREAKER, THE SPREAD IS ALABAMA -4.5

@coryfly and @toophly1124, you need to email me:

1. Your pick against the spread
2. Total points scored in game (both teams)
3. Total points scored in game by winning team
4. Total points scored in fourth quarter (both teams)

Note: you're both allowed to pick the same team against the spread, if you wish (and this will probably happen, since your picks are made in secret.) This is why we have the other three criteria as well). If you both pick Alabama, for instance, and Alabama covers, we will then look at Criteria #2, Total Points Scored in Game (both teams). If this criteria gives us our contest winner, we're good. If it doesn't, we move to Criteria #3 and so on.

 

[coryfly]

Good luck, toophly!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Okay, we have our picks!!

@coryfly Alabama -4.5
@toophly1124 Georgia +4.5

Since y'all picked opposite teams ATS, the three additional criteria won't be needed.

Good luck! And thank you to all contestants for playing. Note: I'm going to scrap my "wave format" for next year's contest. In the past couple of years, the bowl schedules have changed and there's less "off days" in the bowl calendar. So, as such, the wave format doesn't really help y'all or me; it becomes a burden. Though I poasted the entire schedule ahead of time, at times I only poasted a new wave 24 hours or 36 hours before a particular game. Some of you may have missed a pick or two because of this, and for that, I apologize. Next year, I will use a Google Doc Sheet format, which will allow us all to make our picks upfront ahead of time (if you so choose), allow us to see everyone's picks in a nice, clean spreadsheet format that everyone can access, will eliminate the confusion that comes with changing picks, will make it easier for me to calculate standings in a timely fashion, and it will allow us to just have one thread on OOTB, which we can use for better debate / discussion about bowl games as they happen (rather than having several threads).

 

[coryfly]

Cool, should be fun. I'm not really confident at all. Really just hope it's a good game.

 

[gunslingerdick]

We’re a pitiful bunch. Only 4 out of 13 finished above .500. And 2 of those 4 just one game above. Awful.

@TarHeelNation11 - thanks for running the contest and thanks for considering the suggested changes.

Go Dawgs? I don’t really care.

 

[toophly1124]

Good luck, toophly!

Good luck to you too Cory!

 

[heelz2345]

Yeah, I was legitimately surprised/happy that I finished as high as I did considering how poor I did picking correctly.

 

[coolwaterunc]

I didn't participate, but I wanted to give a shout out to @TarHeelNation11 for actually finishing something and not having @Raising Heel take over.

The same happened with your mama... but @Raising Heel still jumped in after anyway.

I'll be pulling for the Dawgs this upcoming Monday . .

Thanks for the support Bills!

[TarHeelNation11]

Y'all nervous for tomorrow @coryfly @toophly1124 ??

 

[coryfly]

Nah, it's all good. If I win then great. I can pay off some of the Christmas debt. If not, then cool. Good for toophly. I hope for a good game more than anything. Gambling has always been about the fun for me. If I win some money with it that is just a little extra. I did once hit an 8 team NFL parlay, which was pretty awesome.

My cousin is a senior at UGA and has gone to every single football game this year, including the semi final in LA. I can't help but hope they win it for him. Plus... fuk alabama
