[shaunovery]

Ok mate.

Can everyone please check in tomorrow during the day to finalize your team entry.

Will do mate

[DDT]

I'm here I'm here, picks sent my friend

[Optional]

OK Team #1, nominate your changes.

For Members Of Team #1: WolverineFan, luvtogamble, Hawk, Optional and DDT

Please look at our list and make 1 nomination of a set of two picks that should be swapped.

If two other team members chime in and agree with the swap it will be made.

From the looks of things Entry #2 will be quite different so no need to consider that, let them take Entry #1 picks into account if they end up clashing.

Team NASCAR Entry #1


Each of our 3 Star picks had two different people pick them. (total number of 'stars' in brackets) 'Keepers' are in bold.

Sth Carolina -5.5 (6)
Fresno State -12 (5)
Texas A&M -4.5 (5)
Oregon -9.5 (4)
Northwestern +2.5 (3)


The first two of our 2 Star picks were given 3 star ratings by the picker, so should be considered for a nomination to 3 star status.

Stanford -6.5 (3)
Mississippi St -2.5 (3)
Louisville +13 (2)
Mississippi -3.5 (2)
Cincinnati U -7 (2)


1 Star picks

Georgia -10 (1)
LSU -3.5 (1)
Air Force -1 (1)
Florida State -12.5 (1)
San Jose State -7 (1)


Alternates, who should be considered for nomination to either 1 Star or 2 star status.

Rutgers +2.5 (2) or Virginia Tech -2.5 (2)
Central Florida -7 (1)
Southern Cal -10 (1)
Vanderbilt -6.5 (1)

I nominate Northwestern for Miss st and make it a 2. Put Stanford a 3. Vanderbilt to take Miss st's place as a 1. Georgia up to 2.

[Optional]

We can't have Northwestern and Miss st can we? 1 has to go.

Ah Shit I missed that

Sorry for this Hawk, but can you go back and check again what changes are needed.

It made quite a change to the order.

[hawk 5]

We have to take either Miss St or NW out. Make the 1 we keep a 2. Move a 1 up to a 2 and add a 1. move Standford to a 3. I think that would do it.

[Optional]

I nominate Northwestern for Miss st and make it a 2. Put Stanford a 3. Vanderbilt to take Miss st's place as a 1. Georgia up to 2.

On the revised list it looks like you want Northwestern to jump up to a 2 star and Vanderbilt up to a 1 star, pushing Central Fl and Southern Cal off the list.

[Optional]

I agree with both those changes if they are what you want.

[hawk 5]

I have to get ready for work. Big Blizzard supposed to hit tonight. Don't know when I'll get back on. Go FAVS!

[Optional]

All good. You are done anyway. Good luck with the storm.

Vanderbilts up for debate. But we can't have both Miss St and NW. GL opti. Go team.

[CarolinaDaze]

Nascar #2
I hope ya'll right with the BYU pick, game seems to close to call for me, but since 2 of you like it im cool with. BUT that damn Michigan pick gotta go, i didn't spend $350 for 2 tickets to see my SC Gamecocks in the Outback Bowl for nothing, lets vote Oklahoma St. or San Jose St instead?

I like these picks for the most part.If anything my opinion would be to swap Iowa St. with LSU or Oklahoma St with Northwestern but fine with keeping it as is.

Good Luck guys

[CarolinaDaze]

Also Opti when we are done adjusting the teams, could you post everyones 6 picks? If anyones interested i'll bet 100 points on my 6? If theres a tie we could pick National Championship Game Winner & Total Points Scored in game to break the tie?

To try and keep this making sense I'll keep a running tally of nominations.

Entry #1

Northwestern to 2 star and drop Southern Cal off the bottom.
make Vanderbilt 1 star and drop Central Florida
make Vanderbilt 1 star and drop Southern Cal


Entry #2

Drop Michigan for Oklahoma St
Drop Michigan for San Jose St
Make Iowa St 3 star and drop LSU to 2 star
Drop Northwestern for Oklahoma State

-stash

[luvtogamble]

agree with the changes to team #1; miss st is my where I went to college back in the 70's. have been to 6 games this year and they cannot stop a spread offense. also no big wins from them all year best win was against tennessee and would have lost if not for tenn fumbling the ball away a lot. also beat auburn and arkansas but both of those teams had 5 turnovers each in the games.

love northwestern to win game straight up.

thanks for taking care of this optional and hate was so much trouble. we probably should have started before sbr listed the lines as they were not going to change much from early lines.

carolina daze will put up 100 points my picks against yours for the hell of it.

best of luck to our teams in the contest.
