For those participating but at a relaxed rate, I'll probably set up two divisions in a couple of weeks. One will be for the seriously addicted and will probably include those who have made at least 20 predictions for games ending December 13. The other division (the occasional predictors) will be for those who have less than 20 predictions for games ending December 13. So there's still time for many of you to make daily predictions if you wish to be in the "upper" division.

If you want to start participating, please send me a private message (just click on my screen name) and we'll take a look at it.

If you'd like to participate but haven't done so before, please send me a Private Message (PM) by clicking on my screen-name. Here's the way Pick-per-Day (PPD) works:

1. You make one pick per day by selecting a team and the point spread that's offered.
For example, if Florida is favored by 22.5 points versus Toledo and you choose Florida, you pick Florida -22.5
If instead you think that spread is too generous, you pick Toledo +22.5

2. The pick must be in required format (see#5 below) and submitted by that day's deadline.

3. Picks on weekdays are usually due at 5:00 while picks on weekends and holidays will usually be due at 12 noon.

4. Please verify your pick was recorded when the posting is Closed and please check the next days tally to make sure I correctly credited you with the win or loss. Mistakes will happen and I'm more than happy to go back a day or two and figure out what went wrong and then make any corrections. But I really don't want to go back a couple of weeks and try to recalculate the wins and losses.

5. All picks must be entered using this format:
Moniker: Team and Spread
(e.g. MNSnowman: Minnesota +1)
Picks that are submitted after the deadline without making prior arrangements or do not use this format will not be counted in that days tally

6. If you want to change your pick, please add a new post rather than editing your original pick and please note it's a change in the header. (It's easier to pick up and make the change this way.

7. Every now and then, the provider of the Lines has a strange point spread. I reserve the right to scratch games where the spread exceeds normal expectations or if the picks are subsequently corrected, the correction is substantially different than the first pick and the original spread gives a participant an unfair advantage.

In other words,
if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

8. Later in the season, I may create two divisions to reflect those who participate regularly versus those who are more sporadic. This is done to reduce the likelihood of someone getting a relatively high winning percentage and resting on their laurels.

PPD Standings after 12/10

CoolhandGopher has now joined PPD -- welcome back, Cool. He sits (momentarily) on the top with his first pick a win. We'll start the divisions this weekend so it's going to take some time for Cool to make the "Seriously Addicted" division. ;)

Today's results were above average:
17 - Wins
10 - Losses
0 - Pushes
0.630 - Winning pctge
27 - Participants
  • It took two overtimes, but Northeastern beat Harvard 76-71 … rrjack and GopherinQatar had 'em -4.5. Nice job, gents!

  • BYU clobbers Boise State 94-56 -- a 39 point spread. The line was Boise State +19.5

  • Consensus picks -- with three picks per team -- were Arizona, Butler, Gonzaga and TCU. The first 3 won … TCU lost. So the consensus picks went 3-1-0 and are doing pretty well on a cumulative basis.

Gopherlady: long beach state -1

This may ruin my near-perfect record, but gotta have some faith in Coach Monson!
 



Hmmm, Nate's taking Weber State ... you guys have a side bet going as well? Loser has a beer with FoT at the away NU game to compensate for last year's cancellation?
