Awesome contest. I know more about I-AA and it's superior playoff system, but I'll give it a shot anyway.

I couldn't agree more, bullit! I'm anxiously awaiting the day that IA adopts a playoff. :thumbup1:

Well, the formatting is still pretty bad, but I guess it will work (I don't have html access so I can't make a table...)

Anyway, after 4 games, we have 4 players in the lead with 8 points: Breck, Charles Darwin, jwalker, and bullit. Many of you are within striking distance and we still have 13 games to go! Many of the games will be played in the next few days, so I'll update after New Year's Day.

Edited to add: if you think your score is off, send me a PM and I'll take a look. Thanks!

Lol, tater, you're a little bit late to submit picks since all but four of the games have been played... Sorry!

DrColossus11 · Jan 3, 2011

At least I didn't stay in last place. The Big Ten was a joke this year!

haha, you're not kidding. An Arkansas beat down of OSU would be the icing on the cake! (in my eyes, anyway!)

No such luck, great game last night. As a fan of the game in general, I would always rather have a close, exciting game than a blowout on either side. But.... I did get a bit nervous after halftime. Much credit to the Hogs, great game and nothing to be ashamed of.
