I disagree. I have ideas about what interests me, but this is a board run by members, so my ideas are not terribly relevant. I am inclined to agree with Trn on this for the simple reason that game interest trumps good matchups. I think I am wrong. To use an extreme example, if Squidunk Tech plays Podunk Tech in a game with great consequence to the D3 championship, but nobody on the board cares, is it a game worth putting it on the list? I had particular interest in Syracuse, coming off the game with Clemson, and Pitt coming off their game, about which team would prevail. BUT... If the board is more interested in traditional rivalry games, why should we not go with the more popular game? Now, IMO, FSU will get smoked and the game holds little interest for me. But I am one of the worst pickers on the board, so what do I know? Bottom line, the tournament should be about what is of the most interest, not what may be the better game on the field. That is not what I was using as my guiding light. The board needs to tell me how you want this. To use a personal interest, if USC is 8-2 and is a 20 pt fav over the 2-8 Bruins, is that a game y'all want to pick because it is a rivalry game? OR..do you want to pick a 3 pt spread between a regional but less notable rivalry between Utah St and BYU? I've weighed in previously, but I wanted to add a few words just to clear the air. First of all, hat's off to you for taking over the job. It's thankless work, and more difficult than one might think to keep track of everything. And one of the few perks of being Grand Poobah is that you get to run the show and make the picks. If you decided to do a week of all G5 games, I'd pick them the same way. But obviously, certain games are more transcendent to college football....and even when they don't seem to be evenly matched, they generate excitement. I just think that FSU/Miami is one of those. The fact that FSU is, on paper, supposed to lose, doesn't mean it isn't interesting. The purpose of the line is to create the theory of a pick'em. In theory, for the purposes of the game, the line creates an equal matchup because of FSU's 13 point head start. The line is what makes every game a "better game" on the field. As to your personal interest, I absolutely would want USC-UCLA over Utah State/BYU, all things being equal. Because it isn't USC/UCLA. It's USC against UCLA with a 20 point head start. Now, if Utah State and BYU are ranked, or theoretically, it was a big matchup with a playoff spot on the line, I might take that game. But if it is just a question of lines, I'd take the bigger rivalry every day. |

Walter: "Now, IMO, FSU will get smoked and the game holds little interest for me. But I am one of the worst pickers on the board, so what do I know?" You should have had the opportunity to miss the pick. I would have confidently taken FSU and the 13 points. This is a rivalry game where you can usually throw out the records and the outcomes are closer more often than not. Miami ain't a powerhouse team. The candy canes got smoked by LSU in Arlington and then have 4 wins against Savannah State, Toledo, Florida International, and North Carolina. That's a real murders row to base a decision on that they are capable of smoking FSU. With the talent that FSU has, the nolies could find a groove at any time. I'm expecting a very good game in Miami. It wouldn't shock me if FSU wins straight up. You're probably gonna be right. |

but this is a board run by members, Read more: aolcfboutcasts.proboards.com/thread/38312/week-6-official-schedule?page=3#ixzz5T6u2MjKFWalter, you created this board and YOU run it the way you want it run. So do what you want with the picks and we can either participate or not.
Now, to get off topic, you say this board is run by members, but members have suggested time and again what you should and could do to make the board and all forums on it more agreeable for everyone. Yet you choose to do nothing other than allow one person to run amok.
You can and probably will delete this post because it exposes your weakness and hypocrisy.
