Here are the results from the past two weeks (sorry for not getting them up earlier):
Week 11: Jeff 45 (8-2), Jared 43 (8-2), Spears 41 (8-2), Mao 41 (8-2), Shuler 37 (7-3), Trey 33 (6-4)
Week 12: Trey 55 (10-0), Jared 41 (8-2), Shuler 33 (8-2), Mao 33 (8-2), Spears 29 (7-3), Jeff 29 (6-4)
Final Standings
Trey – 384
Shuler – 352
Jeff – 340
Jared – 326
Mao – 326
Spears – 281
A perfect final week (sorry I never got around to doing picks for week 13) sealed the victory for me. Meanwhile Jared finished strong, tying Michael for fourth. Thanks everybody for playing and note that we’ll add the scores from the bowl games to these regular season scores so that we’ll have a regular season winner (me), a bowl games winner, and a cumulative winner.
On to the bowl picks.
If you are new to this or just forgot, here’s how it works. In the comment section you pick a winner for every single bowl game (just copy the list and paste it in the comments and then delete the presumed loser). Once you’ve got a winner for the bowl game assign a bet of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to it. If you picked correctly, you get however many points you bet on it. If you picked incorrectly, you lose those points.
Simple right. Just copy and paste, pick a winner and then make a wager of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. You have until noon Saturday to get your picks in. Here are the bowls (and there are a lot of them because college football has been corrupted by greed and only cares about money … ie the TicketCity Bowl, Cam Newton, et all)

In case anyone was wondering (you weren’t), I went through the archives and found the results for year 1 and year 2 of the picks. Also, if you’ll remember each bowl season we put in Pat Forde of ESPN’s picks as a control (I assign a bet of 3 to all his picks) and it’s funny to see how badly he did last year.
08/09
Mao – regular season and overall winner
Jared – bowl winner
Pat Forde – 24pts on the bowls (which was third among everyone who played the bowls)
09/10
Trey – regular season winer
Jeff – bowl and overall winner
Pat Forde – -45 (how do you get -45 and work at ESPN for a living?)
Anyway, as soon a Forde makes his predictions I’l put them in again this year.
