2022-23 Pick'Em, Final Week! (Double-Points!!!)

[dukedevilz]

Pick'Em is back! LET'S GOO!! Roy knows!

For those not familiar with Pick'Em, I'll select 6 games each week. For the team that you have the most confidence in winning that week, assign them a value of 6 points; for the team that you think has the second highest chance of winning that week, give them a value of 5 points, and so forth. Each poster can have their lowest weekly total waived from their cumulative score. And I'll include double-point weeks occasionally.

The games are admittedly pretty light this week. Next week should offer more high-level contests.

Week 1 Games
Friday: Michigan State vs Gonzaga (San Diego, CA)
Friday: Stanford vs Wisconsin (Milwaukee, CA)
Friday: Villanova at Temple
Friday: Clemson at South Carolina
Friday: Florida State at UCF
Saturday: Washington State at Boise State

Nice! Hey can you post the standings for all the years we've done this? Would be fun to see the career stats of guys who have been in this league for a while.

so basically there's one good game worth watching all week. Looking forward to MSU vs Zags friday night.


Also, Milwaukee is in Wisconsin, not California. If you need a mnemonic device to help you with that just remember how pale Jeffrey Dahmer was and how that was because he lived in Milwaukee Wisconsin, not Milwaukee California.

Florida State lost to Stetson last night. So, obviously everyone's going to side with UCF in the Pick'Em contest, right? Well, UCF lost to UNC Asheville yesterday. Who really knows? lol. Madness.

Is this open to anyone? I'd love to play if it isn't a private group thing.

Have at it hot rod. Open all season long. He even keeps scores.

Do you know the rules? pics of your wife/gf and you're in.

Nice! Hey can you post the standings for all the years we've done this? Would be fun to see the career stats of guys who have been in this league for a while.

Here are the results from everyone who has completed at least 1/2 of the season. Attrition is very strong in this league - we lose 10+ posters every season who don't complete the season.

I would also note that the seasons aren't comparable if you're looking at the scores. 2019-20 obviously ended a few weeks early with COVID. In 2020-21 games were cancelled left and right. I included 7-8 games some weeks to compensate. 2018-19 and 2021-22 are relatively close. However, there was one additional week in the 2018-19 season.

I was good when UVA was good and I was mediocre when UVA was mediocre

The odds are definitely against me to win again. 4 wins in 5 years would be crazy. Biggest thing going for me is I don't miss weeks... obviously since I'm the one posting the games.

Am I the only person who’s been in the league every season and never been on the podium?

 

[dukedevilz]

I was good when UVA was good and I was mediocre when UVA was mediocre

So probably no Pick'Em title once again, huh?

 

[dukedevilz]

Am I the only person who’s been in the league every season and never been on the podium?

Sure looks that way.

Maybe you're like Mossy; you perform just as well as the school you follow.

 

[jhmossy]

Probably not. Maybe a podium appearance simply for participating each week

Haha right. Just doing educated guesses, mostly. I do watch a boatload of games, though. So, maybe that helps a little.

lurker is using some computer prediction model. He got second last year. My guess is, he'll probably win if he uses that method again.

No chance. You beat it.

That last week was fun though. I led basically the entire season and you came in and smashed it. Brilliantly.
