Well shit, I didn't even realize Hail was on the selection committee! Can he tell us the rest of the field since it's apparently already set?
2021-22 Pick 'Em, Final Standings
- Thread starter dukedevilz
- Start date
I understand. I made my prediction 2 minutes into the game. Sucks but it what it is.
What happened to the Michigan pick at #3? Actually it don't matter.
Probably just a mistake. Guessing he meant:
5 - Marquette
4 - UNLV
3 - Florida
2 - Michigan
1 - Kansas St
Being picked by nearly every poster on the CBB board was too much pressure for them to handle.
0 for 6. That's good, right?
0 will be my new low score (first time ever in 4 years). My previous low score of 7 will be added back (previously deducted). I think lurk also had a 0. I want to say his previous low was also 7. Crazy week.
Also, how about all of the wild finishes these past two days? Fantastic week of college basketball.
I'm good with that. Anyone else?
Lurk had 0 too. The 2 high-scorers with the big goose egg going into the home stretch!
Of course the current leader is good with that. 😆 I would say that's something that should be agreed upon at the beginning of the season but anyone that wants to participate, have at it!
I agree it's silly. It's basically rewarding you for having a really bad week. But rules are rules. I vote to drop it next year though.
If it wasn't a rule, and I did my math correct, I'd be 5 pts out of first. With the rule I think I'm still going to be down 16

My bad lol. I'm cool with the avatars this year, if not, next year is fine too if majority votes.
I wait til pretty late in the season to drop the weekly lowest score. If I did it in week 3 or 4, I would have to keep adjusting seemingly every week. But, it's the lowest weekly score, regardless of when it happens. I already adjusted one or two other posters who had new low scores.
I say you drop high score too... Let's really make things interesting. 😎
Hah right.
Well, if I lose, then lurk or whoever can still assign me one. But, it's obviously too late in the season to ask everyone to agree to that.
Maybe we could do that for next year. But, feels like it would have to be a normal 21-point week. Otherwise, most everyone would have a double-points week dropped.
Congrats to @IUfanBorden on winning a week where almost everyone else feel in the dumpster.
Check out these anemic scores! 8 of the 13 posters had less than 5 points. This may be the worst week in Pick'Em history. 3 of us were shut out completely. Lurk and I weren't the only ones with new low scores. duckboy, mossy, and Exit all had new lows. And I previously forgot to account for Kevin's new low score from last week (net gain of 3).
I don't have my spreadsheet on me right now, so I'll have to double-check the correct number for all of the low scores that are being dropped. But, I believe the cumulative scores are accurate.

BONUS POINTS!!
Pick One Underdog that will win - and one higher seed that will lose. And feel free to put both eggs in the same basket. Last year, had you picked Oral Roberts to win and Ohio State to lose, then you would have earned 14 points. But, I suspect most will diversify their picks.

so busy at work I really don't have time to even do this. But as the hottest player in this competition over the past 6 weeks I owe it to my fans to compete.

underdog = South Dakota State (13 seed)
biggest loser = Providence (4 seed)
Duke, I’m slammed at work (promotion good! Role transition tough.) and am just gonna give the picks for Tuesday and Wednesday right now to get them in. Will come back and do rest later.
4. Rutgers
2. Wyoming
That works!
@lurkeraspect84 Where are you? Wyoming/Indiana is going to tip in a little over two hours?

Wish you weren't spotting me points. I'll put an asterisk by the title if I win by 5 points or less.
This Notre Dame-Rutgers game is quite significant now. It will be a 10-point swing for the victor. If ND wins, you'd only be 3 points behind me. If Rutgers wins, then I'd have a 13 point lead.
It's all good. Hell, I let Bert choose my picks one week.
Not sure how I missed this Monday. Oh well.

You get docked 6 points for missing the first game, unfortunately. So, 5-4-3-2-1 for the final 5 games.
The beginning of the week is my busiest time. Mondays are almost a complete no go for me on here, so that's why there's so many times I made Tuesday picks. If Monday bleeds into Tuesday, then im shit out of luck.
