...fanatic wins the 9th week's Pickem with a 16-4 record. Razorhawk was second with a 15-5 mark. Three were at 14-6 and the group picked .623.

We have a new season leader. Razorhawk on top of the heap, with a .663 mark, just ahead of Goboilers, ...fanatic, and strawman, all at .644

I'm creeping ever closer to the mean

I am there.

I just seem to tread water.

and the fact that some have picked 180 games, others 160 and some 100 makes this system very compatible with the BCS, NCAA, KGB, CIA and KFC. I think it is good. I wished my teams played better, therein lies the problem, not my picks.

If you hadn't missed one week you'd be behind me!

I am terrible at this....at least I am above .500. I am this bad straight up...I can't even imagine trying to pick against the spread each week.

Actually, that was an easy week, and I would have an even higher pct.

Yeah, I've only picked 100 and I'm in the middle of the pack. So I have not picked that many winners, but I'm still in the race.

Sounds like Notre Dame.

I used to spend hours and hours picking the winners and I think I averaged around 14 wins per week. Now I phone them in at 11:30am on the way to a game. I play because I enjoy it and it's competing against friends.

I think you can spend hours, days or minutes, and the results are going to be very similar.

I do a pickem, versus the spread and we pick college and it is a 50-50 proposition. I have a entry I send out, and there is an ability to do a computer pick which makes random picks. Amazing how many times the random picks win the weekly contest.

Random doesn't work for me. I am way too SMART for that!

Totally agree and your record backs it up. College 50-51-1 for a .495 record.
