WEEK 14 RESULTS AND STANDINGS

[Walter]

Tell y'all what.
I'll leave it as the two picks.
TRN will necessarily have to pick the opposite of DOC, so if he manages to tie it up, I'm going to post all the others as tie-breakers, and then a tiebreaker-tiebreaker too.
It's all for shits and giggles, and I think you'll find the stat picks oddly interesting.

I think last year we might have played the Army-Navy game as the spread and the O/U. I'm ok with that, other than that, if you decide to add more options, this stinks, no reeks, of the type of crap going on with the CFB selection committee. I absolutely have nothing against Alabama, they are a great football team, one of the best all time, but the committee screwed Florida State, plain and simple. "I was planning on expanding it because of some interesting statistical items," This sounds like their QB is hurt so they don't deserve to be in the Final 4! Don't follow in their footsteps. Changing the rules in the middle of a game is not anything close to be fair.

That's not quite the same thing, since you are still IN the tournament, unlike FSU, who I agree got screwed by the committee.
I'll have to check, but I don't think we have had a tournament end this close where the Army/Navy game was ever a factor, at least I don't recall it.
Nevertheless, I'll add the other picks as non-scoring and/or tie breakers.
FYI, the first tie breaker, should there be a need for one will be picking the final score...closest wins in point differential for each team.

I'll be posting it tonight.

He is two games up w one game left. Tie break that. Jeez. A/N isn't a factor unless you macgyver the game, which you already did adding games willy nilly.

Actually it is the same thing. You don't change the rules in the middle of the game. That is what you were attempting to do but you received considerable backlash.

Two up w one game left. Unless you choose to manage the results, it’s over, imo.

Not so fast, my friend...
And if you are paying attention, this won't be much different than previous years.
No management. Just pure, douchiness!

It's a macgyver. We had a similar situation when Trn and I were #1 and #2. And he was running the gig. I could have just calf pathed his last picks and won but even though I agreed w his picks, ftmp, I chose to change enough picks to make it interesting. He won. He later gave me props. I shrugged.

Changing the format again?
I intentionally went mostly opposite the leaders picks last week to try and catch up.

Every year the final Army/Navy game has two picks: Game and Over/Under.

So it ain't over.

I was planning on expanding it because of some interesting statistical items, but if Y'all want to keep it as is, I will add them as either non-scoring or scoring.

Chime in what you all prefer.

My preference is say Doc is the winner and then move to bowl season.
