Good job using the favorites and points laid. Wouldn't want @UNC71-00 to stroke out so close to Christmas.

Yeah, I hate when people complain about something they didn't put any time or effort into, so I had to make sure to make that change.

The irony is so thick here that I think this thread should be pinned for posterity's sake.

Has anyone heard from @andythebigman ?

Participants: please note that I will "like" your poast to indicate I've seen it and have input your picks. Of course you can always check the spreadsheet to confirm. As with any other contest, I'm counting on you guys to let me know any mistakes I've made with inputs or scoring. Using a spreadsheet should prevent most human error.

I still haven't heard from him, but we can't proxy him for the whole thing. If he doesn't make picks for this second wave, he's out and his $20 disappears from the pot.

Damn boys, this thing is neck and neck in the early stages. Bring it on!! Gotta stay with @HookUNC75 as long as we can!

Solid strategy sir.

He was on the boards at 8:30 this morning. What gives, @andythebigman ?

The Vegas oddsmakers sure suckered me in with that Idaho-CSU line.

Yeah not a bad performance from a team that's transitioning down to FCS.

 

[Raising Heel]

Things just got interesting.

The LA Tech-Navy game was really, really good. What an ending.

Yeah that was a quality game. Lots of good offense.

 

[strummingram]

Vanderbilt SUCKS!

 

[ohio tarheels]

Vanderbilt SUCKS!

For once I think State might do something good for me!!!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Vanderbilt is a better team than State. Their overall season results show that. It didn't manifest itself tonight though.

Scary how similar Moo's 2016 ending is to their 2014 ending
