Originally posted by whodeyHawaii, what happened to ya? Actually I pulled this pick out of my arse. I have not ever seen the play this year.
Here is the tally to date.
Whodey +2
Marauder +2
Badwater +1
Scacchipazzo Even
Shortcicuit -2
The next game is Hawaii vs. Tulsa tonight!!
So this pick seesm to have hurt everyone, and I do mean everyone, except Scacchipazzo. My guess is that no one else has seen the play either. So here are the rankings now as of Christmas.
Whodey +1
Marauder +1
Scacchipazzo +1
Badwater Even
Shortcirciut -3 and taking on water quickly!! 😲

Ditch these stupid bowls. They come up with stupider and stupider names for them every years. And now bowls being dragged out until mid-January?
Just go to a playoff system like in every other NCAA sport and every other division in NCAA football. Top 8 (3 week) or top 16 (4 week) playoff bracket.

Originally posted by no1marauderWhatever did I do to you to call me a jerk. I am agreeing with the need for a playoff, that's all. Can't you see how gleeful I am to finally break .500. Why does this rub you the wrong way? Seems like only your opinions count and anyone even mifdly disagreeing is a jerk? Projection perhaps?

Alls I can say is whatevs!
BTW, not a bowl, but still in need of being picked is the FCS NCG between Delaware and Eastern Washington. I'm going Delaware.

You and marauder are certainly good pickers! I laugh at being two points better than the guy calling me dumber than an octopus. I reiterate he is dumber than a guy dumber than an octopus! -2! Ha! I think I might be -1 after tonight. Hawaii looks like they might be too much for Tulsa, but Tulsa is plucky. Go Tornados or whatever they're called!
BTW, the little six year old I mentioned before is +5! I wonder how she does it!

Updated scorecard:
no1: 5-3
sac: 5-3
Bad: 4-3 (no credit for the New Mexico Bowl)
whodey: 3-4 (overlooked the Poinsettia)
sc: 2-6 (ouch!)
Guess I had better turn it on.
It has been a strange year indeed.
This is the first year in the last 5 where the favorites are currently outrunning the dogs against the spread.
Of course that can change in an instant too.

I have to say, I'm surprised I am the only one who picked Iowa. Although Mizzu was ranked 12 and Iowa was not ranked, the writing was on the wall this year with the Big 12 having an overall down year. In short, with teams like WVU ranked #22 and Mizzu ranked #12, what you see before you is a ranking system based upon whom these teams have played within their own division, which is nobody!!
Ah!! That was a nice two wins for Whodey!!! 😵 I just can't wait till Wisconsin destroys TCU!!

Originally posted by whodeyGood picks, whodey! The one that stings most is Baylor getting crushed by Illini. I thought Iowa would come to play, but after all the suspensions I felt perhaps Mizzou would take care of bidness. They failed miserably! OkSt is for real and may contend next year!

Originally posted by no1marauderWe definitely are no Paul Octopi by any stretch. Kate the predicting 1st grader is12-2!
8 more games in the next two day before the Big New Year's bowls, so I thought I'd update the tightening scorecard:
no1: 8-6
Badwater: 7-6
whodey: 7-6
sac: 7-7
sc: 6-8
No one's exactly tearing it up prediction wise; the race is wide open!

Originally posted by no1marauderBTW I need to make a correction. In the Tenn Vs. UNC I stated tossup. Since there are no ties I am picking UNC over Tenn!
