If copycat's picks are in, why can't we compare our picks to his?

Couple of updates:

1) Make sure you posts your picks -- some of you have picks outstanding and Maestro doesn't want you to get caught unaware.

2) I added a comment below the picks that may or may not be helpful to you.

Good luck.

Hey guys -- I've updated the standings through yesterday's games.

Unless I'm counting wrong, there are four other players with 7 losses going into today. Anjac, Chris02M, copycat and Hokie Mark. What happened to them?

Well, coming into the home stretch you have pulled into the slightest of leads. It would be ironic if you slip back into second place because you picked Mississippi State instead of Georgia Tech. Was that a vote of no confidence in your Jackets, or were you just hedging your bets?

I have picked against my team for the entirety of the second half of the year. It keeps working so I keep doing it. If I had picked GT during the latter half of the year and they still won, I would have won the regular season pick-em. Still, I will gladly trade a win in the pick-em for the wins that GT got during the latter half of the season.

You should be investing in lottery tickets, copycat. First, Western Kentucky, then Michigan State, now Houston.

Seriously I should be... 3-0 on the "amazing comeback games." I also rarely change a pick once I submit it, but I did change yesterday's pick to Tennessee about a day in advance.

I'm still debating my ECU/Florida pick.

Looks like you are a bridesmaid no longer, copycat. Congratulations.

Ok, boys -- the standings have been updated and copycat has a 1-game lead over Collegecard and some guy named 'anjac'.

We didn't exactly cover ourselves in glory, collectively speaking. The 16 players who picked all 38 games ended up with a combined record of 305-303. Six had winning records, five had a losing record, and five had a coin flip, finishing at 19-19.

So, with 23 wins, copycat is a veritable god among us. I'm cheating off his paper next time! Way to go champ - and you didn't need the tie breaker to do it.

This quote, post #26, was in reference to the title game. Are we still planning on adding the title game or is this baby over with copycat the champ? I have just a bit of interest since I'm a game off the lead at 22-16!

Whoa! The plot thickens. I'm sure anjac is on your side. BTW, the over/under is 70.5.

To follow up with CollegeCard -- I'm going to add the Championship Game (after I finish watching ND/UNC tonight).

I'll need copycat, CollegeCard, and anjac (assuming s/he is reading the boards) to PM me the following:

Predicted Total Points scored between Ohio State and Oregon
Predicted Final Score (e.g. 40-30)

I reserve the right to ask you to re-submit your final score and total points if I receive two (or three) of the same numbers.

===============================
DO NOT put it in this thread. PM me, instead.
===============================

Any tie will be decided by the following (in order):
- Player whose total score is the closest without going over.
- Player whose score of the Winning Team is the closest without going over
- Jim Donnan Kung Fu



Good luck.

The Championship Game has been added.

Please refer to the instructions in post #54

'copycat' has been accounted for.

'CollegeCard' has been accounted for.

Man, I simply feel bad for my boy copycat.

Congratulations to CollegeCard who is the 2014-2015 ACCbbs Bowl Pickem Champion
(the other fella didn't submit a tiebreaker, so....)

By "the other fella" are you referring to copycat or anjac?

Out of curiosity, what was the winning tiebreaker pick?
