cool

Great work Ivy, thanks

[playersonly69]

It will take a score of around 22 to make the money most likely. That really depends on Louisville though If Louisiville doesn't cover, then you can take 2 points off of that total.

Basically you need to win at least 4 out of your 5 three star games to have a chance. Sure someone could go 10-0 in their other games, but not likely. There will be numerous guys who get 12-15 points from their three unit plays if Louisville covers

[playersonly69]

It also helps the field if Georgia State doesn't cover. For some reason a lot of guys liked Georgia State today

[Cookie Monster]

brooks85 has a duplicated pick (214 Utah St) and ThaddeusB has one too (247 Texas Tech). I suppose the fair thing is discard the 1 unit play.

Another question: 77 entries recorded, who were the 3 guys that did'n place picks?

Correct, the larger will count, and the dupe will count as a loss.

Igor_1965, Igor/no1here, and splitH. A reminder PM was sent yesterday and today to submit picks.

I didn't receive PM reminder, was lucky to remember this morning.

2.- San Diego St 85 units
3.- USC 79 units
4.- W Michigan 73 units
5.- Notre Dame 71 units

[thetrinity]

I skipped this last year but I think i was like 9-1 in the 2 and 1 unit picks 2 years ago and 1-4 in the 3 unit ones

One way to do it is getting close enough to hedge a little. You could potentially even do it with the WV/Az St game if you are on top of things

[TheMoneyShot]

Great work Ivy.

Is there any way you can make 2 columns?

List the other column as "Remaining Possible Points"

1st Column: Score

2nd Column: Remaining Possible Points

I think a year or two ago... they did this during the last few bowl games remaining.

[BigDeem5]

1st. $5,000
2nd. $3,000
3rd. $2,000
4th. 55k betpoints
5th. 40k betpoints
6th. 20k betpoints
7th. 10k betpoints
+
LAST PLACE: $500

Wow great work guys!

[playersonly69]

I was kicking ass until Utah State lost today.

But I haven't lost a 3 unit play yet. If anyone loses 2 three unit plays then the are out

24-6 can't be be in the running heading into the final? Earlier in the thread you said 22.

I think PO was just saying in theory once 2 3* lose... you really don't have a shot at placing. During the last few years.... I don't recall anyone who lost 2 3* who placed. So in theory... you're out. I think that's all he meant by that.

It will more than likely take 21-22 points to guarantee yourself a place/prize.

[snip3r2006]

so why is this standings not up to date ??

[daneblazer]

I'm on a fast track for that $500

[SBR Genie]

Hi snip3r2006,

The standings is now updated. Good luck!!

[d2bets]

The total points gained is kind of meaningless without also considering the total points lost.

Only 6 entries have a 3* win without any losses.

[BigDeem5]

D2, basically the points possible handles that.

I forgot about the last "4 point" game. That's a tournament changer right there. Depending on who wins 4 points and loses.... that's the ultimate swing.

If you can get 21-22 points before the last game. You're looking pretty good.

not really cause everyone else will get 4 points also. or half of everyone. you could only catch people who pick something different so you really will not jump many places.

So, 21-22 points before the last game isn't good enough to place?

22 is solid for sure Im just saying dont think like your 4 points will help that much, in fact you could hit it and it not help you at all, or very little.

True. I think in prior contests the top 10 point leaders... 65-70% were on the same team last game. So... you don't really leap frog anyone... but you need it to place.

[d2bets]

D2, basically the points possible handles that.

Oh! I think that was recently added, or I missed it.

[d2bets]

Only 13/80 remaining with at least one win without any losses (2 more have no decisions yet).

[daneblazer]

if your over 20 going into the final game, you'll have a shot to cash

[daneblazer]

Louisville/a&m is a huge game for everyone. If a&m wins it'll put a dent in almost half the entries
