Pick the Playoff Teams Week 8
[Image: CZrD3kP.png]

Hello all, a quick word before the awards. You'll note that the chart looks a bit different this week, and some of your point totals have "gone down". This is because I have taken teams with three or more losses and put them below the score margin. This is for ease of use in myself making the charts, being able to scroll faster with them removed makes all of the chart calculations a lot easier and gives us a good idea of how people are doing in the actual race for the playoffs. Now don't worry, I know that three loss teams might well get into the play offs, and I am still keeping score on your picks, ready to re-add them to the main chart if that seems likely. For this week I have included all of those points in the image, though I will probably skip that going forward. Just keep in mind, once again, that you are allowed to pick those teams, and you will get points for your picks if they make it in.

Weekly awards:

The "Autobid Comes Through" Award goes to Skyhawk, who forgot to update his picks this week despite being active in the thread. He's had terrible luck with the bidder so far, constantly giving him teams he didn't actually want and who lost their games. This week it finally gave him a pair of wins. Lets hope we can put this small award saga to bed.

The "Jimmie Rustler" award goes to UofLCard94, who has chosen to avoid the AAC pileup this week and instead picked an SBC team. Looking over their record... yeah JMU is a good team. Pretty good dark horse for the G5 slot.

The "Able Steering" Award goes to jimrtex for correctly picking Texas in the RRS. Quo Vadis did too, but did so using three or four week old picks being recycled and wasn't actually going into the game expecting a Longhorn win.


Sorry it took an extra day to get this out. I was "distracted" yesterday.

How can Michigan make it? They already have two losses and have to play Ohio State.

While not likely, if Michigan beats Ohio State, they certainly improve the resume...and, would hold the tie-breaker over Ohio State into the Big Ten CCG.

By beating Ohio State, of course. Don't think it will happen but will laugh my butt off if it does.

You're right, they can only play Ohio St once, unfortunately.

3 losses can get in. I'm sure not going to pick USC this week who will probably lose their 2nd this weekend.

RE: Pick the Playoff Teams Week 8
While three losses can make it in, two of them being Oklahoma and USC really damages their standing versus, say, LSU losing to something like Ole Miss, Texas and LSU or Texas being LSU, OSU, A&M (note, I've checked neither's schedules.) There needs to be one or two signature wins to counteract the losses. Since Michigan avoids Indiana and Oregon its hard to imagine them getting in with three losses. Either they lose to OSU and thus lack a defining victory or they beat OSU but lose to yet another mediocre Big Ten team, in which case does one great win make up for two bad losses plus an "okay" one to the Sooners?

Honestly cant count these teams out yet. Last year had the worst matchup of teams in the Final possibly ever, so I have to go with that logic until we see something different from the Committee.

RE: Pick the Playoff Teams Week 8
I seriously was thinking about dropping out. This is all for fun, but it's not fun to have teams picked for you, in a game that's primarily about picking teams...

But the game itself is generally fun, so I thought I'd give this another shot.

Ohio State
Indiana
Miami (FL)
Georgia Tech
Memphis
Texas Tech

Oregon
Virginia
Georgia
Missouri
South Florida
Utah

In case of byes, please replace from this list by conference (sec team for sec team, for example), and if I run out of those, just start at the top. I thought it unlikely that all 12 teams are on a bye, but just in case... : )

Tulane
Western Kentucky
San Diego State
Washington
Southern California
Nebraska
Vanderbilt
Louisiana State
Tennessee
Louisville
Navy
Notre Dame
