I am glad NC A&T fooled all of us as we were all quite confident in their ability to lose games.

I don’t feel that I have any better of a handle on the league now than I did the first week.

Sounds about right. There will be high variance in the conference season

Ugly day for the CAA yesterday. But congrats to Mr. BagODonuts.

Thank you for putting this together, OrangeCamel. It was a lot of fun! (and thanks to Sitting Bull for missing those first 2 games in Week 3! ;-) )

Congrats, ‘Donuts! You smoked us the last two rounds!

Yeah, I hate bull missed those two games. Taking away the two highest values (13/14) seems harsh, but that’s what the “Run Your Pool” site says to do. I sweated over how to handle it (and that UMES deal) and was amazed there was a site out there that offers guidance on such important matters!

I think the contest for the conference games will be even more competitive. 11 rounds of picking 1-7 (or 9) should produce a tighter race than 4 rounds of picking 1-14.
