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 just seem to tread water. 

I dont care who wins as long as Notre Dame loses!
Re: Howdy Results Week 9
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!
The preceding statements are solely the opinion of GoBoilers and are, therefore, probably not based whatsoever on fact, research or more time in thought than what was required to physically type them. They're probably correct anyway, so you shouldn't argue too much, because otherwise he'll just blather on forever. On the internet Al Gore invented.

Re: Howdy Results Week 9
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.GoBoilers wrote:RazorHawk wrote: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

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.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

Re: Howdy Results Week 9
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.
