Play Game Weekly Upset Picks - 2013

MD Buckeye,

I'd just like to say that over the years this has been the best "football season contest" on Buckeye Planet. You are to be commended for keeping it going and I hope you do it again next year.

This is the last week and there are only 12 games, and only 3 have a double digit spread; so only 3 people currently have a possibility of winning (FCollinsBuckeye, me, and the person that picks Duke who has the most points. If FCollinsBuckeye picks Duke or Texas there are only 2. I do have an idea for a rule change that you might want to consider for next year. Allow the option of picking 1, 2 (i.e. daily double). 3 (i.e. hat trick), or 4 (i.e. grand slam) upsets this last week; however, anyone opting to pick multiple games has to hit on all of them to score any points. This might make the last week a little more interesting by technically giving more people a possible chance of winning, etc.

Note: I'm not necessarily recommending this change, I'm just throwing it out there for your consideration.

Anyway, great job on this contest again this year.

Lets see.

Wingate is ahead of me and took Duke so I have no chance. Gotta play for a top-5 finish I guess.

Dubs, you are always up there at the top. Good job again this year. I fell flat on my face this year. But I'll be back.

I'd like to echo Script. Awesome job MD. Love this game. The work you do to run it is much appreciated...:bow:

No doubt! Not about me, but about MD. Not only this but the Yahoo pick'em and all the NFL games as well. PLUS we have the bowl upset contest coming and I'm hoping the College Bowl pick'em with the confidence points on Yahoo as well.

The contributions that these "behind the scenes" guys like MD bring are simply amazing. The hours they take out of their day to keep all of us amused is priceless.

One thing I would like MD to clear up, though. Is he from Maryland, or is he a doctor?:thinking:

Peace

Thank you for the kind words & I'll definitely take that in to consideration for years ahead. Nothing wrong with a new wrinkle & that would definitely help with the final week. Also have to give a big shout to @BB73. He originally started this contest & I just took over the reins. I think it's a great contest & enjoy running it.

Yes, definitely the bowl contest upcoming. I'm all for the College Bowl Pick'em, but you're going to have to twist my arm on the confidence points lol. I'm horrible at ranking them :lol:.

I'm from Maryland. Born & raised. Grandparent's moved to Columbus when I was a kid & I've been a Buckeye ever since.
