pickem issue

[N.AL-Tider]

we all suck at this picking anyway 

 so it's really no big deal 


btw ....
I want to do away with the spread of the points 

Me too.  Picking against the spread is tough, just let me pick the winner or the loser... 

If we did, the wome ... new members wouldn't stand a chance.

     But some of us men old members don't stand a chance either...

Remember high school?  6/10 (60%) is fail.

HTH.

Ever been to Vegas?

6/10 is doing pretty well.

So, week 1, I go 6 - 4.

Then, week 2, I go 6 - 4.

When I look at the overall leader board I am in a 5-way tie for 6th place.

In sole possession of 5th place is Hannibal Lecter, MD.

Dr. Lecter failed to pick 3 of the games from week 1 and yet he received no apparent penalty for not picking. 

His 3 no-picks should be counted as losses and there should be a 6-way tie for 5th place.


Thanks for taking my call.

Roll Tide!

If you don't get all of your picks in on time the missing pick is counted as a push.  I didn't want to punish folks for not getting their picks in before a Thursday night game, for example.

The flip side is that they don't have a chance to get that game correct either.  So if you put in all 10 picks, you have more chances to get 7 correct and beat that 6-1 guy.

Fair enough.

We disagree on methodology, but I will be alright.

 

Why didn't you go 7-3 instead of 6-4? 

Week 1: Northwestern surprised many,
Week 2: It is obvious now that UGA is weak.

You're still not winning...  yet.      

Really it is the only way the computer can work it given that we drop two bad weeks and don't punish for non-picks, except as a lost opportunity. 

Sure, blame it on computers.
