With all of the portal transfers and NFL opt-outs, betting on CFB postseason games is a crapshoot and fool's errand ATS.

well this isn't ATS.Ā  this is confidence points by picking winners.Ā  and honestly, i think the unpredictability over the past few years has made this even a more fun contest to partake in.

Cool starry bra

In. Love the uncertainty. Chalk is boring.Ā 

I'll sign up and pay by Saturday at least for myself, probably for the Doomlet as well.Ā 

Can't wait to see what new decrement in design and performance those shitheads at ESPN will work into the user dashboard this year.Ā

It wasnt that bad.Ā  I think there are 46 games, but I do like the old style better.Ā 

I'm in and paid. I feel like I've won some money in this at some point before. It's fun to follow, regardless.Ā 

I forgot I have to assign the confidence points. Fuck all that.Ā 

Doomlet and I have entered.Ā 

I hate that you have to make all picks and confidence assignments before today's games start. I understand that we can change them again later, but I also hate how ESPN defaults to automatically saving and updating every change, rather than letting you tinker until satisfied and then hitting submit.Ā

very odd that it's not.

Western Michigan may win this game

I guess our household was the only one who overestimated both the hangover from all the Kiffin bullshit and the competence of Tulane.Ā

The only reason I didn’t have my Ole Miss pick as a top 2 pick is due to the coaching change. I didn’t go insane and pick Tulane though. Just marked the game down to the mid 30’s.Ā 

Whelp, South Florida fucked me and took a big chunk out of my max points, but I guess we'll see how things shake out as we keep going.Ā  Should have paid more attention to the coaching changes instead of blindly following my spreadsheet.

Same here. However USF still should've rolled.Ā 

I'm beginning to think that ESPN's predictions machine isn't very accurate.....

nm - wrong thread

I'm going to be very disappointed if most of us (myself included) turn out to have correctly picked Vandy.

I didn't play this year, but this has been a very entertaining bowl season.

@HornPhD nice ole miss pick last night.

Quite a few of us still in it. Should be a fun finish

Thank you. It was a calculated risk. The semi-finals will be interesting.

Who else is taking Oregon tomorrow?

@BigOrange1 how many people bought into the pot? And are we still doing 50/30/20 split? I’m trying to figure out payout splits because that might determine my pick for the championship

  • Author

looks like we had 19 paid entries - so $570 in the pot. so 50/30/20 would look like:

1st - $285

2nd - $171 (we'll call it $170 to make it clean)

3rd - $114 (we'll call it $115 to make it clean)

There are 25 "not an accident" entries.

First, fuck all six non-payers in the goatass.

Second, can you please boot out those six assholes? I had (incorrectly) assumed that all non-accidental entries in the standings were legitimate, but I would appreciate knowing the actual standings prior to the final game, as that obviously impacts strategy.

That's a good point. @BigOrange1 , did all the entries near the top pay?

i'm not sure who dillioncp98 is, but it looks like everyone else who currently has a shot at the top 3 (meaning their max total is 758 or higher) has paid.

i always hate to delete entries in case i accidently missed something. i'll do another run through later this week when i have more time but it looks like everyone who has a change to finish in the top 3 has paid with the possible exception of dillioncp98. can whoever that is let me know your surly handle and if you paid, how you did so and on what date?

  • Author

my dumbass did just realize that i didn't include myself in the 19 paid entries earlier so it looks like it's actually 20 paid entries. 300/180/120.
