Please check your scores for accuracy. There may be mistakes in the above calculations. If there are any discrepancies in scoring requiring correction please let me know. I will forward them to the accounting firm of Pleasant, Funt & O'Farrell (PFO) who will audit your request. They really will.

The leaderboard is pretty tight. A few direct hit scores and good picking results can propel most of you to the top. Let's see if we can finish well.

I realized that I haven't posted our rules for a few weeks. Here they are. They are useful for checking you weekly scores.


Guess the score of each team of each game...
Each game you pick the correct winner of: 5 points
If you pick correctly on at least half the games scheduled for the week earns a 20 points bonusl
If you pick correctly on at least 75% of the games earns a 40 point bonus (plus the previous 20 points).
If you get all but one of the games correct nets 100 bonus points (plus the 20 & 40 from above)
Guess right on all the games and enjoy an additional 150 points (plus the previous 20, 40 & 100)
If you pick a game score in which you pick the winner and the correct margin of victory, you will get 25 bonus points. We'll call this a spread bingo or a mini bingo.
And ..... If you guess the correct winner and score of any game: 125 bonus points tacked on for each correct game. (You will not receive the 25 spread bonus with a Bingo) This is known as a score Bingo.
If you've got incredibly mad skills and happen to guess every correct score of every game: you get a mega jackpot of 5000 points (Lotsa luck with that one.)
At the end of the regular season the player, or players with the most correct picks over the regular season will receive 180 bonus points, or a split of that amount.

Please make sure to get your picks in for the Thursday night game.

All are welcome to play, and good luck to all!

All weekly entries must be in before game times, Thursday night kickoff, and all of the rest before 12:00 noon Central Time on Sunday.

I don’t feel playoff worthy. Is there a Wildcard option for me being worst picker? :laugh:
Everyone who wants to play makes the playoff. They don't even have to play in the regular season. The bar is not set high in this contest.

OldSchool you better get in line. By my count there are three regular pickers that are demonstrably worse than you are.

@OldSchool101 reminded me of this song.

Could be reassigned to the Badgers remediation project.
I haven't followed College Football much this season , but Milani's comment got me curious as to how bad Wisconsin's record might be. This surprised me. Well, there are two teams worse teams, but the entire bottom six teams are, or once were perennial power houses. It's a brutal conference now.

College football has made its own bed. Whether it is for good or bad only matters for school revenue these days. I have to laugh. Why?
Because the Big Ten is no longer the Big Ten. The Pac 12 is no longer Pacific. The SEC has become SW. And the Big 12 is all over the map. College conferences were based originally on geography. And 8 meant 8 and 10 meant 10.
Back in 1962 the Dallas Texans won the AFL Championship. The owner decided to move the team to KC. A reporter asked if he would call the team the Kansas City Texans. That is where it is today.

Lamar Hunt must have rolled his eyes, at least a little bit.
What I believe those standings are from is the lower three quarters of the "Football Championship Subdivision" (FCS).
I hear that homes are expensive there.;)
What I had became used to was the old geographically sectioned conferences, as you had mentioned.
