OOTB Bowl Challenge -- Final Wave (Jan. 2nd & NCG tiebreaker)

[TarHeelNation11]

ATTN: @toophly1124 @HookUNC75 @TarHeelNation11 @gteeitup @Hark_The_Sound_2010 @UNC71-00 @tarheel0910 @gunslingerdick @UNC '92 @strummingram @ohio tarheels @GACMAN @BillyL @coryfly

This is the final wave left of the contest so choose wisely! The National Championship Game will be for tiebreaker purposes only.

Tiebreaker 1: The closest to both team's scores will win the tiebreaker. I.E., if the final score is Alabama 28, Clemson 21, and you pick Alabama 24, Clemson 18, you'd be within 7 total points.

Tiebreaker 2: Of the contestants who tied for closest to both teams, the contestant whose score prediction was closest to the winning team's total wins the tiebreaker.

Tiebreaker 3: if two contestants or more are left after tiebreakers 1 and 2, the closest prediction to the losing team's score will win the tiebreaker

Good luck Billy. BTW, my offer still stands. Since you've been paying out to others for years, I hope you'll consider it.

With regards to tiebreaker- need elaboration.

What If I said 59-0 and the score was 38-21?

Then you'd almost assuredly lose because you'd be 42 points off. (59-38) + (21-0) = 42

 

[UNC71-00]

Also, these lines are bullshit. The guy running the contest is in the lead and now needs 4 easy wins and he gives the favorite a boost in each one over what Vegas has.

Florida opened at -2 and is now -3. THN has taken Fl of course

Note- I am aware he poasted all lines before we even started. I just enjoy giving him shit.

I could be a dick and just change my picks around to counteract Hook 71 and we could just go 'round and round in a circle, but I'm not gonna do that. Gonna rode the horse that got me here.

Good luck @HookUNC75 and @UNC71-00

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Though I picked Wiscy, I really want Western Michigan to win this game outright. They're a cool story IMO, and Wisconsin is such a perfect representation of the dull monotony that is B1G football.

As for the Outback Bowl.........I feel like it's been Iowa - Florida every year for the past 10 seasons. Talk about an extremely dull matchup. Remember when Florida used to be glitz, razzle dazzle, and speedy NFL talent all over the field? Florida has been so damn boring since Spurrier left.

ETA: Iowa just went for it on 4th and goal and got stuffed. I wish I was Kirk Ferentz. Just be consistently average every season and pocket millions.

 

[UNC71-00]

^^^^^^Couldn't agree more.

Despite some other folks opinions I knew all along that deep down you were a good guy @TarHeelNation11

I keep telling RH to ease up on him.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

WMU is gonna cover if they get a TD here. Wiscy offense won't come anywhere near reaching FG range. They'll kill all time with a couple first downs on the ground.

WOW....Western Michigan's kicker misses the extra point.

Yep looks like I may be eliminated by a botched extra point and inability to stop on 3rd down . Congrats @TarHeelNation11

 

[UNC71-00]

I think that did it for both of us.

If it makes y'all feel any better, 100% of my winnings go immediately toward a credit card payment I just made for attempt #2 on the GMAT ($250 a pop)

 

[HookUNC75]

I think that did it for both of us.

Yep at this point the best we can hope for is second place. I forget, was it decided that second place gets to keep their $20?

I think so.

Congrats @TarHeelNation11 !

Yeah. Y'all are gonna have to do the tiebreaker to figure out second. Or it's not too late for one of y'all to change a pick before the Rose Bowl or Sugar Bowl.

@UNC71-00 @HookUNC75

 

[UNC71-00]

I think so.

Congrats @TarHeelNation11 !

@HookUNC75 - we are going to tie as well unless you want to flip your USC pick back to the Trojans- I will take Penn State.

 

[HookUNC75]

Yeah I'll switch back to USC, Rich. I hate trying to predict scores anyway. I hope you see this @Raising Heel. Kickoff hasn't happened yet. Also others could slip in to second, too.

It doesn't matter if he sees it or not- it's poasted. But if you want to leave at Penn State and we can predict the final score, that's cool with me too. Either way works for me.

USC for me it is.

 

[HookUNC75]

I just checked, before the start of the Rose Bowl there is a 4 way tie for second @coryfly @strummingram @HookUNC75 and @UNC71-00

I should have started this thread from the bottom.

Remember when Urban Meyer coached there?

I meant since Meyer! Damn, nice catch lol. I guess I repressed the Meyer era. But yes, those teams were exciting too. Since Meyer left, it's been drek.
