    I know how you feel, would be in prime position for my sole entry to win or at least get second if Oregon had managed to cover yesterday.

    Fact is, having competed in this contest with two entries every year that I can remember, it's so easy to play the what if game after the fact! But no real point, you'll lose that game every time, just gotta take it as it comes, remember you don't have any control of the actual results!

    As for the A&M cover, while that was definitely somewhat fortunate given the way the game mostly went, was pretty much always a one score game one way or the other, covering -6 wasn't that lucky imo. If the contest line had been what the actual line ended at, roughly -9/-10, I agree it would have been super lucky for them to cover that.

    Just glad after all these years I'll finally "cash" in this contest (with my team entry). Ok, only a lock to cash if I win the final pick, but that will enable me to hedge at least to ensure I walk away with something - first time aside from a last place one year, will sure take it even if Oregon failing yesterday prevented me from being in a super strong position. Ahh well, can't win em all!

      Iowa St dominated the game. UNC covered for 98% of the game. Big difference

        I was talking to Carolina not you in that regard. Anyway, point is still that it's very easy for a ton of entries in this contest to point to one game where if the result had been reversed they might be in contention to win/for top prize. Just no point in doing that as you don't have any control of the actual result.

          I didn’t win or cash years ago due to the Western Kentucky Bahamas bowl.

          that was a once in a lifetime beat. Or at least I hope it was

            A few years ago I was either on the bubble or 2 off the money when bama played Georgia and everyone in front took Georgia and so did I, that was my penetrate you story from this thing. Glad to be back in a decent position after stinking it up last year.

                          Number of OSU Qbs that have been successful in NFL history.

                          ZERO.

                          Who will be the Losers that take him?

                          If you doubt me, google it. Not attempting to post picks on mobile.

                              Yes, congrats to Promiseland - amazing back to back wins in the NFL contest and this.

                              Looks like I get 8th with my solo entry, amazingly lucky that my 73 total pick will beat out on tiebreaker the 78 and 84 of two of the people who tied with me. After the first half, can't believe the total didn't go much higher!

                                    Thanks guys. Looks like my top secret strategy of picking games paid off:



                                    Congrats to everyone who cashed in. Also, thanks to SBR for making the contest happen despite all the bowl game cancellations. Look forward to trying to make another run at it next year.
