    Must be nice being in the drivers seat making everyone else pick opposite you in hopes of the upset. You get prime pickings. It’s not enough to just get points. You need to be wrong more often. o_O

    Yeah you're right, being wrong more often than not has been a bit of a struggle for me this season :D

    The last week of the season being worth 55 points makes damn near everybody still in contention. So don't get too down on your self.

    This is an Interesting stat. Knowing I've got 37 correct picks through 12 weeks means I average 3 correct picks per week. Seeing as I'm sitting at 120 points after 12 weeks means I also avg 10 points per week. So if I avg 10 points per week off of an avg 3 correct picks that tells me the most common correct picks I get are my 5+4+1 point picks on avg.

    This is correct. I haven't decided how many bowl games we will be able to pick from yet, but we will be picking 10 winners for bowl "week" if that's what you want to call it. I'm thinking 15 games to pick 10 winners, but we'll see how it goes. My criteria for games might be a little different because bowl games are a little different than regular season games.

    That being said, it will definitely be imperative to pick your order correctly for bowl week (duh!). The top three picks are worth 10, 9 and 8 respectively which is 27 points. That's half of your total!!!! That means you could go 7/10 for bowl week, but if you missed your top 3 picks, you would only be getting about half of the total possible points.

    On another note, I'm leaving to go out of town for thanksgiving early tomorrow morning, so I will be posting game selections for this week tonight instead of on Tuesday like usual. I'll be back on Friday, so it will be business as usual for Saturday morning.

    Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, Smooty. I’m sure I speak for a lot of us when I say I appreciate the effort you continue to make to bring us Pick’em every week.
