Not really. Outside of Bama and Florida the league appears to be a bit down relative to prior yrs. The Big 12 appears to be the conference of choice with now even OK St. in the top 10.

Okay, now the rankings are official. We all did better than AVG, but Ice is only 97%ile. Everyone else's scores (game-wide) weren't calculated yet at the time.

No excuse!!

Congrats, DA!!

I am sruggling a wee bit in this game

Waiting for Notre Dame, Alabama, and Penn State to give me a perfect week.

And Perfection is mine!

Week 9

Good job, LN.

Good job indeed, LN

Week 10

3 weeks to go...

Good job. LN.

Ouch indeed!

That is dismal.

I blame these f--kin students

Week 11

2 weeks to go...

Thank goodness for that

Week 12

Just 1 week to go, and it's gonna be close!

I pick the penultimate week to do well?


Typical

The site is telling me that the college pick'em game is over. I thought there was still a week to go?

It was supposed to include Week 13, even according to the rules... In any event, despite the notice, it appears you can still make your picks, so give it a shot...

Maybe JL petitioned them to end it a week early so he'd win!

I didn't think it would work.

That's strange. The site states that the game is over, but there is a slate of ten games for week 13. Nevertheless, I tried selecting winners, but nothing registers. This is at least better than what I was getting before.

I'll try again later.

It let me pick.

Realises i pose no threat

I picked. No problem.

I just noticed that you can join the ESPN Fantasy Editorial Group in this game as well. I just joined it and am tied at #13 (JL would be tied at #12) out of 1035 people. The 6 "experts" are ranked between #108 (Lipscomb) and #596 (poor ol' Cockcroft, who missed a few weeks).

I got my picks in.

I'll be freezing my tail off in Beaver Stadium Saturday as my boys and I will be watching Penn State play Mich. St. There is some talk and speculation in State College that this will be Paterno's last home game, but I doubt it. I think he'll come back.

The school president has said that the job is Joe's as long as he wants to coach, and I think Paterno earned the right to decide when it's time.

My wife's uncle and aunt have been avid Penn State fans since Paterno's been there and built a home outside of State College. We tailgate with them as they have a spot right next to the stadium. We'll leave Saturday morning early to get to their home by 9 AM and spend the night.

While my boys and I aren't big Penn State fans, we love this trip every year. When my sons were younger, they would meet the players after the game outside the stadium. I've always been amazed at how polite, patient and engaging these young men were.

Also, on Sundays after homegames the players pick up all the trash inside the stadium; a lesson to keep them humble.

Enjoy it Klyd!

I like the idea of the players picking up the trash. Very novel. Well novel to the UK anyways

It looks like this whole game will come down to 1 single game today (BC/Wake), if the Tenn/Vanderbilt game stays the same. If BC wins, JG should win. If Wake wins, I'll win.

Check out the "Streak for the CA$H" thread -- there's a million bucks riding on this game!! (unfortunately not for us)

Hey JG, did you catch the Rutgers game? Army had 2 yards passing, and only attempted 4 passes the entire game.
Nice turnaround for Rutgers. It looks like they'll playing in a Bowl game.

No, dammit, I missed the RU game!

We're now tied, with identical remaining picks except Florida State -- which I have for 1 pt!

If FS wins, then you're going to win. It looks good too. They're up 14-0.
