We will make picks for every NCSU game as well as the ACC Championship and the BCS Championship, regardless if NCSU is playing in those games or not.

Picks must be made by 12:00am the night before each game.

Prior to playing the game you must PM me a 4 digit (no letters) random number. This will be your secret code you use when posting your predictions. I will stop accepting PMs with secret codes after week 4.

To simplify the tabulation process you MUST use the form linked below to post your predictions.

http://goo.gl/C0vTBd

There will be no "cut line" this year since the posting and tabulation process is all automated using a google drive spreadsheet. You can begin playing whenever you want; however, you must always post your secret code in the form. No secret code no results.

There will be 15 points available per game. Scoring is as follows:

3 points for predicting the right winner
4 points for predicting the exact spread (3 points for being 1 off, 2 points for being 2 off, 1 point for being 3 off)
4 points for predicting the exact NCSU score (3 points for being 1 off, 2 points for being 2 off, 1 point for being 3 off)
4 points for predicting the exact opponent's score (3 points for being 1 off, 2 points for being 2 off, 1 point for being 3 off)

Example:
User123 predicts NCSU 27, TeamX 21, and the final score is NCSU 24, TeamX 23
3 points for winner + 0 point for spread + 1 points for NCSU score + 2 points for opponent score = 6 points.

Spread is an absolute value so even if you get the winner wrong you can still earn points on the spread.

Previous winners:
2010: rtc407
2011: Bullet
2012: BigMan157
2013: bronco

Reminder you must use the form http://goo.gl/C0vTBd to submit your picks once you've sent a secret code to my PM box.

so do we post them here too or what? otherwise I don't think this thread is going to be very long

8/25/2014 9:43:16 PM

A couple more notes.

Currently changing your original prediction is not supported or allowed. Any second posts you make to the form will end up causing your entire entry to be forfeited that week.


^you can post them here too, but I'm not going to review the page and score anything posted on the thread.

Awesome, props to HaLo! I plan to submit a score later.

8/26/2014 9:39:12 AM

BTW you can submit a score before I actually setup your secret code just make sure to use the same number in the pm and on the form.

8/26/2014 10:15:07 AM

I'm in. Thanks Halo

Is "Secret UserID *" Differ from TWW iD?

I don't want to screw things up here...

[Edited on August 26, 2014 at 3:17 PM. Reason : .;]

8/26/2014 3:17:33 PM

Yes it's literally any 4 digit code that you and only you (and I) know. It's essentially because google spreadsheets are not secure and so it is the pairing between tww username and code so that I can verify that the actual user inputed the pick instead of someone else just typing in your username. Do not use a code that has any significance to you because I can't guarantee it is secure (plus I have access to it)

If only we had played the first half like we did the second...

8/30/2014 3:59:03 PM

Most everyone was successful in making the picks properly. The whole point of the google docs is to make it easy to run and keep running. Make sure you all get it right going into week 2. It is really not that hard, and I don't want to spend time maintaining your picks.

New people are welcome to join at any time. You will just start behind.

On to the results:

User Picks Average:
NC State - 34 (LO fucking L)
GA Southern - 16

I can't seem to find ESPN analyst score picks. If anyone has them PM me to them.

Vegas: 39-18 Pack

User - Total (Week Score)
bighitter - 7 (7)
aaronburro - 6 (6)

If you see any issues with the scores, let me know. I'm pretty sure the formulas are working right.

Also, all weeks of the season are available to pick right now. Remember you only get one pick per week though so make it only when you're confident of your pick.

I guess you aren't keeping up with Heather Dinich or whoever at ESPN is stuck w/ ACC football, right?

8/31/2014 1:27:50 AM

At the end of every season I always sent a message to HD via her ESPN blog to let her know how she did compared to the rest of us. Never got a response :-(

I think there's a new ACC blogger this season. Maybe he isn't doing it? They are usually posted before the first ACC game of the week. http://espn.go.com/blog/acc

I'm putting it here for my sake. I filled out the form (just like last week and also posted in the thread and got flamed for it). I realize we are using google docs. Thanks to Halo for setting it up though.

9/4/2014 11:51:25 AM

I can't remember what scored I entered

9/4/2014 2:07:06 PM

^^^I don't think you were getting flamed for posting in here, i just think that maybe he thought you hadn't posted in google docs? I think it's a good idea to post in here too. I'll be posting in google doc and in here as soon as I find the piece of paper that I wrote my password down on

9/4/2014 2:14:32 PM

I, too, don't remember what I entered.

But If I was to enter something now, it would probably be us anywhere between 36 and 40, them anywhere between 16 and 20. So it was probably something like that.
