    I don't get why the deadline was last night. Plenty of time until the game.

    Because then it's unfair to those who picked earlier in the week. We don't want day of or late line movement to decide the contest.

    I get ya but then shouldn't we have got the opener?

    Well, could be a bunch of ties on that number I suppose. Either way, great contest.

    Have no shot to score a top 10 finish. GL to all in the running. Think Ohio ST. keeps it close, with a chance to win late.

    Makes sense but can't I get middled if I take Oregon and want to hedge?

    If you take +5.5, yes. This is one of the cases where buying points are good. Besides great SBR special (+7-115 where you have a chance for a half middle), you can buy up to 6.5 at most books for about -130.

    Fab Five 26 Oregon -6.5 (80)

    Beats by Ray 26 Ohio State +6.5 (56)
    Cookie Monster 25 Oregon -6.5 (77)
    mike1234 24 Ohio State +6.5 (56)
    Brooks85 #2 24 Oregon -6.5 (69)
    trytrytry #1 24 Oregon -6.5 (63)
    CoAgulators 23 Oregon -6.5 (59)

    Deadphish 22 Oregon -6.5 (65)
    Cabo 22 Oregon -6.5 (64)
    Brooks85 #1 22 Oregon -6.5 (69)

    if oregon wins this should be how it ends up for top 10. Might have missed somebody. The top 3's tiebreakers will make it interesting.

    Hey thanks Money/Try/Runner et all. FBT knows that Western Kentucky game was pivotal to say the least. Lucky as fukk, probably never happen again in 100 tries.

    lol that is ridiculous, you would think SBR would have been on top of that. Big time screwup.

    Stash was on 11 different teams, well be prepared for me to own this contest next year.

    I kinda like the 4* bet. Hope you Oregon guys hedged

    how many 20-50% of teams can you have before it's not worth it? With this overlay probably a lot, no?

    Definitely worth it in this format especially since you're entering with betpoints and not cash. Plus, with even 2 teams you have a small advantage of knowing what your last pick for the other team. Well, imagine being on 10+ teams.

    I would have done the same thing, just assumed SBR would have stopped it. They said there was a limit on how many teams you could be on even though they never did give an answer after being asked multiple times.

    And the kicker is they extended the number of contest entries...lol

    should have been 3 teams max

    either solo or team.

    11

    wow

    i guess if they allowed it oh well but you would think trytry or yisman would have bought 20 teams if that is the case

    i think they even stuck to 3 teams which is respectful.

    I'm sure next year there will be some kind of limit. Big mistake here was telling everyone there was a limit without setting it then not stopping someone from being on 11 teams which is absurd.
