The original standings and post was in error and missing a number of picks. It's been revised and shows later in this thread.

Sorry for any confusion.

Snowman, I think there might be a hiccup in yesterday's scores/standings...I had Fairfield +1, and they won by 14. Yet, I was credited with a loss. If you could check that out, that would be great.

Snowman I think there was an error yesterday in counting the picks. None of the picks after Jike's were counted. I had picked Fairfield who covered easily and should have one more win like ATTF. Unfortunately the other four that were missed were Marquette and Harvard picks.

Actually, I didn't see your pick so you weren't credited for a win or a loss. Here's what I have for your standing:

2/4/09: you picked Tulsa which covered and went to 30-34-0 (from 29-34-0)
2/5/09: you picked Vandy which didn't cover and went to 30-35-0
2/6/09: I showed you without a pick and you stayed at 30-35-0

I've picked up your Fairfield pick now and show you at 31-35-0 through Friday. The standings tonight will reflect the Friday pick.

Let me know if there are still any questions. (I ended up posting both Wednesday and Thursday standings on the thread with Friday's available picks so that may have been a bit confusing.)

I'm not sure what happened, but none of the picks made after Jike's showed up when I pulled up the thread. (I did that during the time of "system maintenance" so maybe that's what prompted the mistake)

Anyway, I've now made the necessary corrections and will repost the Standings below.

Sorry for the confusion, folks.

NOTES


Board had a tough day but not as bad as I first thought. For one reason or another, I didn't catch the last six picks, including two more wins and four more losses. We ended up at 3-19 rather than 1-15.
Yours truly is on a 6-day losing streak. Harvard is favored by 4 and loses to Yale by 21.
Consensus picks are on an 8-day losing streak with the loss by Marquette
Cornell is a 7.5 pt favorite and loses by 20

Got it...yeah, that's what confounded me. We're all square now.
