Boom! Down goes BYU. Their luck finally ran out.

 

[LS1 Z28]

I guess I win the tiebreaker and take the championship since my point total was closer than CaptainEric's. Everyone picking this week had an excellent year though!

Thanks to everyone that played. This game is always fun. We'll run it back next year!

GG all. It was fun.

@Squish. Man, even when our team was on a bye we still found a way to lose.

 

[CaptainEric37]

That was fun and the closest I have come to winning. Let's go Pokes! We have senior day and a chance to ruin Colorado's season. We can do this!

It seems like the beginning and end are mostly luck but the middle of the season is where you really have to be strategic. I won in 2019 because of dumb luck-LSU beat Bama and that never happens but it made the difference that year for me. Ive also been the genius that picks Tulsa against some no name FCS school week 1 and get bounced.

I thought I was playing it safe taking Oregon last week when BYU was on the road in a rivalry game and going for a lower score this week, but flipping Kansas had other ideas.

It's a blast but it's way more of a blast when you are still doing it in November.

I did the same, picking TU against the California FCS school. That got a lot of people out that year.

Yeah. They were playing us the next week so it seemed like an easy pick.

Course I also picked us against CMU one year. Everyone was so upset over that game me and some other person who did the same ended up getting a do over. Got a little awkward when other people started getting eliminated and gripes about it though.

What a TravesShaMockery! This title was stolen from me!!! Is it a coincidence that the person in charge of this also won?!?! I demand a recount!

All kidding aside, thank you LS1 Z28 for taking the time to do all of this. I know it can be a thankless job but I for one really appreciate you doing it.
