SOWAL NCAA pick'em

[Lady D]

Well, thank goodness I managed to finish 9-6 thanks to changing my Oklahoma pick to the Canes. And I want to congratulate the Vols for playing Auburn close, coming up with that touchdown pass at the end of the game to get the game within 4 losing 26-22 to Auburn. Good effort. Too bad they couldn't have done that in the third quarter, might have had more of a chance to win the game. Now I'm ready for the week 6 picks.

Congatulations to our leaders!

Leaders picked 67% correct. All 19 averaged 50.2% correct. Flip a coin.

BTW: Beach SiO2 forfeited WI/MN by not picking it, and still lead the week.

Rats, I will never catch anyone at the top at this rate, and I thought I did good to end up 9-6. :roll:

The beachsand man is quietly having a great season kinda like his Auburn Tigers

I am personally and utterly mortified. I hesitate to let the record show why, but let's just say I should be able to do better!

Congrats to the week's winners!

When we picked the Week 5 games, our strategy was to first look at the SEC, ACC, Texas teams, and ranked teams whose games weren't supposed to be blowouts. Then we picked some close games around the country that looked interesting (i.e., close) to get the rest of the fifteen. Boldfaced were the favorites and the number of points by which they were predicted to win:

Tulane @ Army 6.5 wrong
(8) Oklahoma @ (17) Miami (FL) 7 wrong
Northwestern @ Purdue 8 wrong
Florida St. @ Boston Coll. 6 wrong
Wisconsin @ Minnesota 3 wrong
(22) Michigan @ Michigan St. even
(3) Alabama @ Kentucky 15
(4) LSU @ (18) Georgia even
(15) Penn St. @ Illinois 4
UCLA @ Stanford 6.5
(21) Mississippi @ Vanderbilt 10
(25) Georgia Tech @ Mississippi St. 4
Arkansas @ Texas A&M 1 wrong
Auburn @ Tennessee 3 wrong
(7) USC @ (24) California 4

So it was pretty much a craps shoot this week. No one should be embarrassed, but those who got 10 right are amazing (or amazingly lucky)!

This upcoming week I will try to remember to PM anyone who omitted a game. Last week I was so busy that I didn't even look at the picks.

Based on my count, I only got 9 correct, and should be tied at 51 points for the season with bamabeachbum and cp. I wish that I were overlooking a win somewhere, but I got the following wrong: Army, Purdue, FSU, Minnesota, Michigan and aTm (ironically, I split this game and picked Arkansas on the ESPN Pick 'Em challenge that I play in).

You're correct. I had entered BC for you instead of FSU. Second eorror in nearly 1,500 records. I'll strive to improve.
Thanks.
