Cause it's their 1st year at Div 1-A. They just made the jump

And that matters...why?

It's a NCAA rule. 1st year you're not eligible for a bowl game


I personally think it's dumb as shit

Personally I think sign stealing should get a program the death penalty

Well thats kind of unfair for those of us who picked on time.

I added the game late after deciding to add the bonus games, and failed to double check the day.

My F-up caused a nasty, no-win, no way to be fair, quandary. Some folks intentionally wait until late in the week, (I do) just to see if the line moves or not. So to leave it penalizes them.
That said, my inclination is to leave the game in the tournament for the reason you suggest.
If anyone else has an opinion, I'd like to hear it.

I made my picks Friday morning but didn't see your post until after that. Don't penalize those that ignore your posts.

It's a screw up, so the game doesn't count in the standings. The only truly fair way to handle it for all, imo.

I usually get my picks early but appreciate the heads up when games aren't on Saturday. That said, I see that as a courtesy to us not a requirement. One game isn't going to make or break me so I am good with whatever you decide.

Walter usually posts the day of the game, and in this case he screwed up on one game. Mistakes happen, so should not count for anybody, imo. If buyer beware is the rule, should be stated upfront, not during the middle of the game. IMO, at least. [/font]
