I want in if there's a spot

8/23/2011 9:47:17 PM

i might be able to setup a google spreadsheet, but i'm not sure how we would prevent people changing their picks

"If you have an even # of contestants, just have a user assigned to each person to tally their entry. That way no one is getting stuck with a lot of work each week and it removes cheating from the equation."

I like this idea. We are each assigned one other user to keep in check.

I just want to make sure we have someone consistent to list the lines and standings each week in a timely manner. I think Slave does a great job with it, but the responsibility got passed around a few times last year. As long as it is just Slave (or someone of his choosing) making those calls I'm good with whatever system of checks and updates.

I too like the idea of being assigned a user to check...

Question is, if this goes through, do we post the other user's W/L? or just check if they record their results accurately?

Also, I think everyone should hold off posting their results until all the games are complete. Posting "I am 6-2 so far" is fine, but actually reposting your picks with W/L/Ps shouldn't be posted untill all of your games are decided. I know it was frustrating for me when I was trying to get the standings in order last year, that some people would post their updated W/L 3 times that week.

Are we going to start this week and do all NCAA or wait until Week 1 of NFL?

8/28/2011 3:36:33 PM

Let's do this! Slave you posting the games this week?

Lets start it this week, some decent games to choose from, stretched across five days

Thursday

UNLV @ Wisconsin (-35)

Friday

TCU (-5) @ Baylor

Saturday

Boise State (-3) vs Georgia
Oregon (-2) vs LSU
USF @ Notre Dame (-10)
ECU vs South Carolina (-20.5)
Northwestern @ BC (-3)

Sunday

Marshall @ WVU (-21)
SMU @ Texas A&M (-16)

Monday

Miami @ Maryland (line is FUBAR now due to possible suspensions, will update later this week)

8/29/2011 10:59:29 AM

Already said I'm in, so I'll put my picks up later.

8/29/2011 1:00:16 PM

No Wildcards? That's the best part about this game. It's not asking too much from someone to check 3 wildcards every week. NIU was like 9-1 for me last year

8/29/2011 1:47:15 PM

I think we could get rid of Wisc, WVU, and BC

8/29/2011 1:48:42 PM

as long as we add wildcard picks starting next week with the first college/NFL week, i'm fine with not having them in week 1

8/29/2011 1:55:00 PM

I'd rather not pick Miami/Maryland with everything up in the air.

Also, this is a great week for over/unders, so I would like to have a few WC picks too.

8/29/2011 2:16:21 PM

Forgot about wildcards, because I'm an idiot. Subtract the BC, Miami and Marshall games, and add three wildcards of your choosing.

Thursday

UNLV @ Wisconsin (-35)

Saturday

Boise State (-3) vs Georgia
Oregon (-2) vs LSU

miss one week in picks, you are clear, count as your bye week
2nd missed week is 0-10 on your record
3rd missed week and your picks will ignored for rest of season

any complaints?

[Edited on August 29, 2011 at 10:36 PM. Reason : watch me miss 3 weeks somehow]

8/29/2011 10:35:58 PM

sounds good to me, and doable

most people who miss 3 weeks worth of picks would probably stop posting picks at that point anyway since they're pretty much out of it

8/29/2011 10:38:02 PM

^^ Sounds good. But I don't think anyone should be able to skip the first week. A field needs to be set by 5 on Thursday. Then we can figure out who checks who... It looks like anyone who wants to get in now can get in. Set the cap at 16?

8/30/2011 10:10:06 AM

I'll check Tree and vice versa

We're strange bedfellows

8/30/2011 10:14:55 AM

^^ 16 sounds about right. I guess I'll check Jaybee1200's picks

8/30/2011 10:25:05 AM

I forgot, are the non wildcard lines set? or if they move can different people have them at different values?

8/30/2011 10:37:19 AM

iirc, for regular picks once the line is put up in this thread, you either take it or leave it at that #. Even if it changes after the fact.

For wildcards, you can wait to post if you think it will move in your favor, but can't post the early week line on Friday if it has obviously moved since then.

Somebody help me confirm. I didn't go back read and I'm operating just on memory here.

8/30/2011 10:53:49 AM

What is the site everyone is using for getting the lines?

I've always looked at covers.com


I think it would be good to have everyone taking lines from the same place. Avoids any confusion.
