Not open for further replies.
rough week. how many points are we playing for by the way? would it behoove me to sit out a few weeks just to keep my pct up? this game is fun, however this point spread stuff is such a crap shoot. HOW DOES MSU NOT COVER 6.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOHN L NEEDS TO BE FIRED TOMORROW MORNING. I don't care if they won. they still suck, but they are so much better than what they put on the field.

As mentioned, you have to play >50% of the regular season weeks and ALL bowl games. It is better to play more, because the more games in your record, the less volatile your winning percentage is -- you're not in the toilet with one bad week. That'll be important when it comes time to pick 32 bowl games.

Note:

As always, remember to choose from the names provided for your picks, as opposed to listing mascots, nicknames, abbreviations, or something else entirely. It is FAR, FAR simpler to figure out how many a person has right if their post contains the 10 (11) teams they picked to win, and nothing else. Simply list the names for your picks in a column using the exact same team name that was provided as a choice in each Pick'em threads' first post.

e.g.: If you were offered "Michigan at Ohio State (Ohio State -42)," simply write:

Ohio State

Doing this will literally save HOURS in figuring out who got what correct.

Thanks!
