Starting with this week, we will keep track of records for the rest of the regular season, and will crown a season champion and shower him (or her) with praise and adulation - not to mention rep points.

Tie breakers for weekly contest will be pretty much as they were this week:

1. Winner of the Game of the Week (GOW)

2. Margin of victory in GOW. This will only be used if at least two of the players who are tied correctly picked the GOW winner. If not, or if they are still tied, then

3. Confidence points will determine the winner. The player with the highest ranked (by confidence) losing pick will be eliminated. If there are still ties after the first confidence loser, we go to the second most confident pick, and continue down the list until we have a winner. If we are STILL tied, then the Pickem gods have spoken, and we will have co-champions.

Tie breakers for the season crown will be:

1. The player with the most individual week wins (including co-champs)
2. Pick the ACC Championship game winner
3. Margin of victory in ACC CCG (this will be described more fully if we have to go past the first tie-breaker).

In the event a player misses a week, he will be deemed to have picked all the home teams (or the underdog in a neutral site game, such as the RRR or Florida-Georgia). To be eligible for the season crown, you can only use this default once. If you skip a second week, you will still be eligible for the weekly contests, but not the season contest.

There will also be a separate contest to pick all the bowl games, so we can't totally ignore G5 schools. The rules for that will follow at the appropriate time.

Hopefully, I will have the games for this week posted on a separate thread by this afternoon. Point spreads may not be available yet for all games, so I will edit as they are posted.
