Pickem Week 7 is open - ken d - 10-08-2017 04:51 PM After a week when chalk ruled the day, I have a feeling this week will be difficult. Anyone who picks 14 right will be Hall of Fame material. Here's the schedule. Clemson @Syracuse NC State @Pitt TCU @Kansas State Florida State @Duke Eastern Michigan @Army South Carolina @Tennessee Texas Tech @West Virginia Boston College @Louisville Virginia @North Carolina Northwestern @Maryland Vanderbilt @Ole Miss Georgia Tech @Miami Navy @Memphis Texas A&M @Florida Boise State @San Diego State First alternate: UCLA @Arizona Second alternate: Oklahoma vs Texas The first game - Clemson - is Friday night, so PM your picks to me before the game starts. Boise is a late start, so we may not know the contest winner until Sunday morning. As soon as I have received everybody's picks, I'll share who picked which underdogs for those who are keeping score at home. Good luck everyone - let's put some pressure on our current leader, 4x4hokies.

I pick Syracuse win over Clemson. RE: Pickem Week 7 is open - ken d - 10-13-2017 10:24 PM Last week, it was pretty easy for me to list the players who picked underdogs to win. There were only 37 of them on the 15 game slate. This week, there are 67. Tomorrow should be wild and woolly. Here they are, if you are scoring at home. Syracuse: ArQ Pitt: samandrea, 4x4hokies, ArQ Kansas St: ken d, ArQ Duke: Buckminster Fuller, ArQ, TyBull Eastern Michigan: Lenvillecards South Carolina: Wilkie01, ChrisLords, Ole Blue' Bigtexnole, 4x4hokies, CollegeCard, gts Texas Tech: ken d, Ole Blue, Bigtexnole Louisville: none North Carolina: samandrea, otacon, ArQ Maryland: ken d, Ole Blue, Bigtexnole, Lenvillecards, samandrea, 4x4hokies, CollegeCard, gts, otacon, Buckminster Fuller, ArQ, TyBull Vanderbilt: ken d, ChrisLords, Bigtexnole, Lenvillecards, samandrea, gts Georgia Tech: ChrisLords, gts, otacon, ArQ, TyBull Navy: ken d, Wilkie01, ChrisLords, Ole Blue, Lenvillecards, samandrea, gts, TyBull Texas A&M: ken d, ChrisLords, Ole Blue, Bigtexnole, Lenvillecards, samandrea, 4x4hokies, CollegeCard, Buckminster Fuller, TyBull Boise St: ken d, 4x4hokies, TyBull First alternate: Arizona: ken d, CollegeCard, Buckminster Fuller, ArQ Second alternate: Texas: Wilkie01, Lenvillecards, samandrea RE: Pickem Week 7 is open - ken d - 10-14-2017 07:13 PM Well. So far, it's been a fairly humdrum week for those who are playing for the season championship. Up to now, the favorites have won 10 games, with two games remaining to be played. For those of you who will stay up till the last whistle, here's how we stand. In a nutshell, if Florida beats A&M, then Wilkie wins. If they don't, Wilkie is eliminated. In that case, if San Diego State wins, CollegeCard gets the win outright this week. If Boise State wins, then 4x4hokies ties him for the week with 11 correct picks, and holds onto his slim one game lead in the overall race. The only thing that could upset all that is if one or both of the remaining games are called on account of weather, bringing the alternates into play. RE: Pickem Week 7 is open - ken d - 10-15-2017 08:08 AM Congratulations to 4x4hokies who notched his second weekly win, and to CollegeCard with his first win of the season. 4x4 snatched victory from the jaws of defeat last night by correctly picking both upset winners. Both players finished at 11-4, just one win ahead of Wilkie01. All of them deserve lavish praise and positive rep points for their performance. The giant killers yesterday were Clemson and Louisville, which all 12 players remaining in the season contest picked to win, plus Maryland and Boise State which were picked by 10 players each. I'll post the updated season standings this afternoon. RE: Pickem Week 7 is open - ken d - 10-15-2017 01:45 PM Season standings after Week 7 (# of weekly wins in parentheses): 4x4hokies........66 (2) CollegeCard......65 (1) Bigtexnole........63 (2) Buckminster F...62 (1) Wilkie01...........61 Ole Blue...........61 ken d...............59 (1) samandrea.......58 Lenvillecards.....57 gt swagger........55 otacon..............55 ChrisLords.........54 With 6 more weeks to go, there is still plenty of time to close the gap with the leaders. A couple of years ago one player held a five game lead at this point and was caught with a week to spare. It can be done. Of course, it goes without saying you don't want to have many weeks where you give up four games to the leaders, like I did this week. Slow and steady can win this race. |
