Well this year will set a record for total # of points and maybe 3 posters beat the previous record, it is official after BYU covered!
I am eliminated and I havent made a selection yet
Will you ever STFU?

Scores this year definitely looking like they will be higher - the first five bowls, the side picked by the vast majority (ok one of them it wasn't that big of a majority but definitely was for other four) did win. Guess we shall see, still very early though!

I had my picks set in notepad/wordpad, with a few missing 1*s.
Rushed home with like 12 mins left, and pasted it.
Every time I input something into the SBR reply, the formatting is all messed up. Almost had Colorado twice, edited and fixed the format.
Not gunna lie when you said "chaz" I thought God damn man did I mess up again?
I did mess up with I wanted BYU as 3 stars (per my post and retraction). Was too late even though the game was the next day at 4/7 east or so. Been so busy lately, and with all the Covid stuff and shuffling, it's hard to get a hold of everything.
BOL Everyone.

Based on what we've seen so far this season, Buffalo should be up by 20 at halftime.

So far all the picks favored by the majority have won. So while lot of people have "started well", relative to the crowd may not be very meaningful. Still very early as well!
At least some of the later games (Ohio State vs Clemson the most notable one probably) are much more evenly split in terms of being picked than the majority of the earlier ones so those should really end up setting the trend. Plus of course even though the heavy majority picks have won all the early games, some folks mostly only picked the later ones so in that sense they are still a bit behind. Time will tell!

How many go 15/15 with their picks??
Very possible.
A lot of 3* in the books so far for people.
I have been betting them so I have a consolation there when I finish out of the points.

Let's bet 100 points straight up, even odds. You win if any one player wins 15 straight and gets the championship game right, regardless of tiebreak.
Interested?

What is the record for this contest's champion's record, historically speaking? Anyone?

I'm really uncomfortable with having a chance, and missing out on the easiest of all easys (BYU/APP state) because my life is a mess and I'm a total disaster (kidding, kind of, but the ADHD is strong, hence my IT career).

Dude needs to tout. Never bought a service before but this would be my first and last. Stuff like this isn't "accidental", especially considering his past performance and his current one in the pick 6. He's wasting more money being good on sbr, and should straight fire up a website.

If Colorado covers, then we could EASILY see at least one poster go 13-2 or better. So far all of the big line moves have been winners in this contest

This just means that final pick and tiebreak will be worth hundreds of dollars! Exciting!!!

That is the one thing that I have always hated about this contest was that final pick. It takes away a lot of the handicapping put of the contest

Well he did lose a real popular pick. it had a 1 to 2 point line move that is why most people took it. I actually took the opposite side because so many other posters had won early on in hte contest with those first 3 games. I never would have taken UTSA had I not knew that it would be a popular pick to pick against them.

Two in fact, but yes both quite popular ones so set lot of people back. Either way the 3*s are really what make/break you so gotta see how those go.
That said, any talk earlier how many people might go 15-0 I think was rather crazy. Going 15-0 is still a huge longshot even if you started 6-0 or something similar. Still would be surprised if anyone went 13-2 or better. But who knows!

ticklz and trytrytry are 5-0 in their 3 unit plays if Coastal Carolina covers. Hell Ian is already 5-0 in his 3 unit plays and he wins a 1unit if Coastal covers. Ian axtually does better if coastal doesnt cover since he only used it as a 1 unit play.

Ok, all the public picks lost today - maybe this isn't as easy as everyone thought! We'll see, but those who picked contrary to the public today or didn't pick those at all definitely have a leg up compared to others.
I was quite proud of myself having gone 6-1 through the first batch - definitely best I'd ever started! But going 0-3 today (two of which I had on both teams), not so good! Ahh well, just make your picks and hope it goes your way, not worth stressing over, the fun + sweats this contest gives are quite nice!
