CLENZ'S 14/15 PICK EM EXTRAVAGANZA PRESENTED BY AGS

[clenz]

Welcome to clenz's third annual Pick Em Extravaganza presented by AnyGivenSaturday.com! The best pick 'em game in the world (probably not actually true...or even close to true...just go with it)! Last year 41 posters participated throughout the season at one point or another with roughly 22 participating nearly every single week. I hope that the participation stays higher this year, even though last seasons full season participation was nearly double the season before. As people learned last season, the key to this game isn't being the high score every week, or even most weeks, it's playing every week. The form takes all of 3-5 minutes to fill out (on the long side), no reason not to play every week. As proof that it's not about high score each week - I won last season but had the high score, by myself, only twice last season.

There will be some rule changes from the season before so please take the time to read these carefully.

So, without further adieu, he rules are as follows. xrulesxxrulesxxrulesx

1. Game will consist of picking the winner of each top 25 game, a couple interesting unranked FCS match ups, and a couple of FBS match-ups that I find interesting each week. Each correct pick during the regular season will be worth 1 point.*** In the past people have complained about bias with the games I pick and it not being "fair". If you don't think it's fair, feel free not to play. I freely admit to having an B10/B12/MVFC bias because of where I've lived my whole life. My FBS teams are Michigan and Louisville so expect them to show up a decent amount. I pick games I think will create the biggest divide between the number of picks for each team. If I see you complaining insesantly about the toss up games I reserve the right to warn and if it continues I reserve the right to count all your toss up picks as wrong, regardless if you picked right or not.

2. The official deadline for each weeks picks are:

Preseason Picks: Saturday, Aug 30th 11 AM Central Winning Time

Week 1 Picks: Saturday, August 30 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 2 Picks: Saturday, September 6 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 3 Picks: Saturday, September 13 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 4 Picks: Saturday, September 20 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 5 Picks: Saturday, September 27 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 6 Picks: Saturday, October 4 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 7 Picks: Saturday, October 11 11:00 AM Central Winning Time

Quarterfinals #3/4: Saturday, December 13 TIME TBD
Semifinal #1: Friday, December 19 TIME TBD
Semifinal #2: Saturday, December 20 TIME TBD
Championship: Friday, Jan 9 TIME TBD


If a game takes place on a Weeknight and you want your pick for that game to count your picks need to be in by kick off time of that game. You may still change your picks for the Saturday games until the 11:00 AM Central Winning Time cut-off. If you miss the cut off for the mid-week game you may still submit picks for the Saturday games, however, your pick for any mid-week games you missed will be counted as "wrong".
With EWU and SHSU both likely in the first AGS top 25 and that game being Saturday, August 23 at 2:30 PM Central Winning Time the cut off for your Week 1 picks to include that game is Saturday, August 23 2:30 PM Central Winning Time. You may still submit Week 1 picks after that time, however, your pick for that EWU/SHSU game will be counted as "wrong".
The quarterfinal and semifinal rounds take place over 2 days. For those rounds it will be treated like having a mid-week games. For your Friday picks to count they need to be submitted by kick-off of the FIRST game of the day. You may still submit for Saturday games if you missed the cutoff for the Friday games, however, your Friday picks will be counted as "wrong". Times for those games are TBD by the NCAA and thus the rule will be by kick-off of the first game, whatever Central Winning Time that may be.


3. The AGS poll will be the poll used for the duration of this game. No other poll will even be considered

4. Schedule of games to pick will be posted by 11PM Central Monday evening, possibly sooner depending on my schedule. I will post when the picks are open and will make sure to find time to have them up by 11PM Monday night. Between working full time, family, and going to school full time I may need an extra hour or two.

5. Pick's will run from preseason AQ and at-large bids, all the way through the title game.

6. Conference auto-qualifiers, at-large bid, and national champion picks will be due at the same time as the cut off for the week 1 picks. You may edit your picks for the AQ and AL picks until the cut off time, after that time NO OTHER EDITING OF AQ/AL PICKS IS ALLOWED.

6a. Each correct AQ/AL pick is worth one point. If you correctly pick the team as winning the AQ or at-large bid you will receive 2 extra points. I.E. you pick School A to win the AQ and school B to get an at-large. School A doesn't win the AQ but gets an at-large, and School B get's an at-large. You would get 1 point for correctly having School A in the playoffs, and you would get 3 points for correctly prediction School B would be an at large.

6b. For each team you correctly pick to be in the national title game you'll get 5 points. You'll also get 5 bonus points if you correctly pick the champion or runner-up. You can earn up to 15 extra points from this.

7. Post season game picks will have a weighted scoring system due to fewer games being played. Each round will have a different weight.

7a PLAYOFF FORMAT AND SCORING
Each round will have 16 points available from games. First and Second round games will each be worth 2 (since there are 8 games) the Quarters worth 4, Semi's worth 8, and the NC game worth 16. With each game you will pick your confidence level on a scale of 1-5. A confidence of 0 is the least confident and a pick of 5 is the most confident. The confidence score determines how many bonus points you get...AND HOW MANY YOU CAN LOSE IF WRONG. Confidence scoring is as follows:

0: No bonus points earned or lost and you are subject to ridicule from other players for taking the chicken way out
1: 1 bonus points earned or lost
2: 2 bonus points earned or lost
3: 3 bonus points earned or lost
4: 4 bonus points earned or lost
5: 5 bonus points earned or lost

By doing this it's going to test the eier of each player and create some interesting weeks. That means the first two rounds have 56 points possible (7 per game), quarters have 36 points possible (9 per game), semi's have 26 (13 per game), and the national title game has 21 points possible (21 for the game).

8. Each player must have a minimum post count of 100 by the pick cut off line of the first week. There is plenty of time to get involved all across the board and get to 100 posts. I will take screen shots to freeze everyone's posts counts at the time of the cut off to see if they meet the required post count. This is to avoid people joining to only play the game (see past issues with elimination games seeing influx of new posters until their team is out then leaving again). If you want to join to play the game, great, just contribute elsewhere. As of the time of this being posted on the board there is something like 47 days to get to 100. For a brand new member who hasn't posted yet that is about 1.7 posts per day.

9. In the event of a tie at the end of it all, will revert back to higher standing at end of regular season. If still tied the person who missed the fewest weeks picks will be declared the winner. If still tied the world will implode...no but seriously, if that happens I'll figure it out.

10. On the form enter your username EXACTLY as it appears here, if it does not match any name on the member list your votes won't count. I gave a fair amount of leniency on that last season but will not this year. If you think I'm kidding try it. If you enter a name I don't recognize and a quick search doesn't return any results you picks will be thrown out no questions asked.

11. Do not submit your picks more than once. If you enter them twice there is a two strike policy. The first time you do it I call you out on the forum and take your first submission. The second time I call you out for it, neg rep you, and you don't get points for it. The third time you are disqualified from the game. That may seem harsh, but it's not hard to not be stupid. This wasn't a big issue last year but there was some issue and has been a BIG issue before that. It's just stupid. The AGS poll doesn't put up with it and neither will I. If you have a question on if you submitted your picks PLEASE PM ME. I work in front of a computer 7-8 hours a day with a smart phone, I'm on this forum nearly every hour that I'm awake - seriously....I am as sad as that may sound.

12. Don't bitch about you thinking I screwed up your picks when the reality you didn't pick the way you think you did. This was an a couple years ago, and to a lighter extent last season. I literally can't screw your picks up. The form works 99.999999999999% the same way as the AGS Poll....the only thing I can screw up is counting your points wrong, and a simple PM fixes that. CHECK YOUR PRESEASON PICKS BEFORE THE WEEK 1 DEADLINE POSTED IN RULE #2.

13. You can change/edit your picks at anytime during the week. Send me a PM and I will make the change. You may not see it reflected instantly but I will reply to your PM to let you know it was done. If I don't reply wait until points are totaled and see if I changed it. If it isn't another PM, KINDLY WORDED, asking if I missed it is asked for. As long as I can find the time stamped PM you're good. Please remember, however, that after the week 1 cutoff you cannot go back and edit preseason picks, not matter how many players you watch get carted off the field week after week from your preseason champion pick.

14. PM is your, and my, best friend. Please do not post "Did I submit my picks", "Can you change this pick", etc... in the forum and expect that to count as your official request. It's infinitely more likely I'll miss that than the PM and causes much more hassle than it's worth. So much so that effective this season the only way to change picks, ask if you submitted your picks, challenge something, etc... is through a PM. You can certainly post it on the thread as well, in-fact I encourage it, as it will provide a back up of everything. However, remember the only "official" method is through PM. I will make sure my PMs are cleared as much as possible. If my inbox is full use the "e-mail member" option to send me an e-mail but make sure to include your username.

15. Anything not covered by these rules is subject to on the fly rulings by clenz and at any time clenz is able to overrule these stated rules if someone really steps out of line. No body wants to be involved in something like that, and I certainly don't want to be the bad guy. I'm pretty lenient but the last 2 years I've put up with a lot more crap than I should have. I do this as a donation of my time to this forum and to you guys because of my love for FCS football but more so because my love for this site (and ursus). If you want to make me dread donating my time because you decide to be a little brat about it I will internet slap you for it in some way.

16. By submitting your picks are are agreeing to above set of rules and give up all rights.


The winner of the game gets a couple nice things - #1. a sweet ass trophy to put on their desk at work, or home, to show off how great they are at inter-webz pick em games. #2. a kick-ass userbar to put under your screen name to remind everyone else that played the game that they are teh losars and you are teh winnar. #3. AGSadmin will hit you up with an rep boost (which I never got last season..oh well). Past winners are in my signature, with links to the score cards from those seasons and your defending champion is...ME and I put an epic xasswhipx on fools last season. Who has what it takes to take my place?


With all of that said Links for the forms can be found in my signature, Week 1 picks will be added when the AGS poll is completed...

Had a blast my first time last season, can't wait to do this again!!

[344Johnson]

If you want to just send the trophy to me now to save yourself trouble I'll PM y address.

[Bisonator]

BTW clenz I never received my 5th place trophy. :D

Nice try...check my record and I think I'll be repleting.

I expect it to likely end back at my desk or somewhere with Green and Gold. NDSU has an impressive showing year.

Last season NDSU 4 of the top 6, 5 of the top 10, 7 of the top 12, and 9 of the top 15. Then again NDSU had more players than most combinations of other schools you could put together combined.

[Smitty]

I did something... Hopefully it was the right thing!

[clenz]

I did something... Hopefully it was the right thing!
After looking at your picks....

You certainly did *something*.....

Now, it doesn't seem to smell very good and is quite brown in appearance, but it's there

[clenz]

Also, you will eventually get an e-mail with your picks. I broke the form e-mailer already (though it works just fine on our regular season and post season forms).

Once I figure out what I boo booed I'll get them sent.

Also, you'll notice I rep the crap out of posts in this thread...so if you want to rep whore yourself out this is the place to do it. For those that don't remember I went back and repped about 200 posts in a day or two after last seasons game. This year I'm just going to rep every chance I get. It might not be every post of yours because I need to "spread it around" but I'll try on every post. It's a small way of saying thanks for playing.


Now, I wouldn't turn down some thrown my way occasionally, but....I'm not begging or anything.xlmaox

[813Jag]

I'm ready!

WTF is that? I was hoping for something at least as classy as SHSU's runner up T's!xlolx

Well.....be at least runner up then!

[TheRevSFA]

Clenz I applaud you for doing this again

people, please rep the **** out of him

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I said it in a rep and I'll say it again.

Nice work clenzy, gonna be fun again for all but you most of the time. I mean unless people can keep from acting like dicks. xlolx

[Rjones61]

Aw come on, why does everything fun on this thread require a 100 post count? I can kind of understand the preseason polls, but not a prediction game. I should just start a random thread somewhere and respond 100 times.

I'm telling you, it's not hard to get there. There are 46 days left to the cut off and you have 2 posts, all you need is 2.1 posts per day to get there.

The rule is there for a reason, and it's laid out in the rule. It's too get members involved in the forum and here for reasons other than just trying to win some contest/vote in a poll. It's not hard to get to 100 posts. Heck, I'd bet between now and January a good number of members will average roughly 100 (or more) posts per week on this site.

Also, you've had your account since December - 8 months - and that was your second post?

I think I fixed the form-emailer.

Can someone who has submitted confirm this for me? I resent all submissions.

Actually what is normally behind it is showing some commitment to being here and participating. Even for the poll we sometimes give out a "pass" for peoples that have put in an effort to join in on some FCS board discussions and be part of the mix.

It takes effort to wrangle with participants etc. so usually you want to make sure a person will give an honest effort to play each week. Personally I'd rather just see 50 good posts where a person was trying to be involved that 100 dumb pump and bump posts.

However, getting to the point of getting a waiver and quitting is a quick way to lose your points.

50 solid contributions to the Bikini thread could also be taken under consideration.

As someone who doesn't frequent those kinds of threads I disagree.

As someone who does though I think it shows commitment.:D

I never got an email.

You should have later.

I've attempted a push on emails about 8 times. I get a copy of every submitted form and I'm flooded today from that.

Sounds good, its good to get the bugs out now during the off-season then have something go wrong in the middle of the season.

The regular season form is ready to roll..same one we used last season.

The preseason form is new and giving me more grief than I wanted. It seemed to work just fine on the tests I ran but I clicked a button somewhere between the tests a while back and last night that upset it.

[clenz]

I won't do this all that often, and I won't post the at large picks because they don't formulate quite as well but...very very very early results thus far

[ursus arctos horribilis]

The regular season form is ready to roll..same one we used last season.

The preseason form is new and giving me more grief than I wanted. It seemed to work just fine on the tests I ran but I clicked a button somewhere between the tests a while back and last night that upset it.

Just put a test in and got nothing yet. Check your triggers. Should be "on submit". You could try manually processing one line (mind) and see if it works manual. Gotta run so won't be able to get a reply quickly probably.

[clenz]

I'm getting every submission to my e-mail so there must be something with it's destination for sending the e-mails.

The format looks just fine so it's just the destination issue. That's probably why I assumed my tests were working, I always just used my e-mail


EDIT

It appears that it was a destination issue. I tested with 2 different e-mails (my work and a fake one I just made) and they both seemed to go through just fine.

[BisonFan02]

Geez guys.....already submitting your forms? You should have, at a minimum, hours of research to do before you make your picks. :D. What if Zenner hurts himself fishing or Vernon Adams quits football to focus on becoming an artist? Things happen man....

Actually, I'm shutting the sheet for preseason picks off at the deadline but technically this answer is correct.

But for reals, are you asking in a serious manner right now? If so I'll answer.

Well yes I was being serious. So is it before the EWU/SHSU game or week 1 or are you counting that as week 1 or are you not? kapeesh??:D

[clenz]

Sorry...much like the AGS Poll threads I assumed a question like that was a smart-ass question so I replied in kind.

The actual answer is this...and it will (I guess I should say should because we all know how things like this work) clear up any questions on deadlines the rest of the season.

These dates are the deadlines for every form for the season:
Preseason Picks: Saturday, Aug 30th 11 AM Central Winning Time
Week 1 Picks: Saturday, August 30 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 2 Picks: Saturday, September 6 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 3 Picks: Saturday, September 13 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 4 Picks: Saturday, September 20 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 5 Picks: Saturday, September 27 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 6 Picks: Saturday, October 4 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 7 Picks: Saturday, October 11 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 8 Picks: Saturday, October 18 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 9 Picks: Saturday, October 25 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 10 Picks: Saturday November 1 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 11 Picks: Saturday, November 8 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 12 Picks: Saturday, November 15 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 13 Picks: Saturday November 22 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
First Round: Saturday, November 29 TIME TBDSecond Round: Saturday, December 6 TIME TBD
Quarterfinals #1/2: Friday, December 12 TIME TBD
Quarterfinals #3/4: Saturday, December 13 TIME TBD
Semifinal #1: Friday, December 19 TIME TBD
Semifinal #2: Saturday, December 20 TIME TBD
Championship: Friday, Jan 9 TIME TBD

* If a game takes place on a Weeknight and you want your pick for that game to count your picks need to be in by kick off time of that game. You may still change your picks for the Saturday games until the 11:00 AM Central Winning Time cut-off. If you miss the cut off for the mid-week game you may still submit picks for the Saturday games, however, your pick for any mid-week games you missed will be counted as "wrong".

* With EWU and SHSU both likely in the first AGS top 25 and that game being Saturday, August 23 at 2:30 PM Central Winning Time the cut off for your Week 1 picks to include that game is Saturday, August 23 2:30 PM Central Winning Time. You may still submit Week 1 picks after that time, however, your pick for that EWU/SHSU game will be counted as "wrong".

* The quarterfinal and semifinal rounds take place over 2 days. For those rounds it will be treated like having a mid-week games. For your Friday picks to count they need to be submitted by kick-off of the FIRST game of the day. You may still submit for Saturday games if you missed the cutoff for the Friday games, however, your Friday picks will be counted as "wrong". Times for those games are TBD by the NCAA and thus the rule will be by kick-off of the first game, whatever Central Winning Time that may be.




I will update the rules for cut off times to read exactly as the above statement which is the official statement from "CLENZ Enterprises Ltd, a subsidiary of AnyGivenSaturday".

[Bisonator]

Thanks clenz!

I am Owner, President, VP, CFO, CEO, COO and janitor of CLENZ Enterprises Ltd.

Sadly the last one takes eleventy billion times the work as the first 6 titles as there's no one and no money to manage. There is, however, typically a large mess left in the building that needs to be cleaned up.

oh boy, I don't have time for this kind of stuff but cant resist....

WEEK 1 PICKS WILL BE UP VERY SOON!

Every top 25 team except McNeese State is in action the first week.
Only 1 top 25 match up
13 FBS games and 2 NAIA games...maybe I miss counted going through my sheet real quick
7 toss up games for this week.

[clenz]

WEEK 1 PICKS ARE NOW OPEN!

You'll notice something a little odd - EWU/SHSU play August 23rd in a "week 0" game. They also both have a Week 1 game so they both appear in the "toss up" game section.

First, and likely only, time we'll see that happen for a couple years.


MAKE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO CUT OFF DATES TO MAKE SURE THAT GAME COUNTS TOWARDS YOUR TOTAL! WE HAVE CUT OFF DATES OF AUG 23, AUG 28, AUG 29 AND AUG 30.

Any questions on the cut off days please ask

[Catbooster]

HAHA.

I actually don't know how to undo that. It was that way for that one all of last season too.

When I was creating the form I accidentally clicked it and it defaults to being selected.

[LeadBolt]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's a blast.

[TheRevSFA]

Agree wholeheartedly. Clenz if we ever come across each other first and second rounds are on me for doing this

[bjtheflamesfan]

Haha

Picks are in clenz

[clenz]

I'm going to figure out what I had done to get that tally there and put it on every UNI game...and then against every NDSU game.

[clenz]

I know there is some time left...but...

I've got a lower number of entries than I anticipated!

If you are thinking about playing, DO IT. The form seriously takes about 2 minutes to do per week.

[tomq04]

I'm in, was easy...didn't pay enough attention to know to do it last year! sounds like a blast!

[gotts]

C'mon people, sign up for this.

If it were any easier, it would be called your mom.

[bjtheflamesfan]

My mom isn't that easy but I appreciate the attempt at humor.

C'mon people...get in. the game!

[caribbeanhen]

I'm going for the trifecta which would be ninth place again

[BisonFan02]

Submitted......(I'm sure I screwed up...**** it xlolx )


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tj2zJ2Wvg

It's on....

[813Jag]

Done!

[LeadBolt]

Guesses made. Let the beatings begin!

[Southern Bison]

Y'all look out...the 2013 2nd place finisher has submitted his masterpiece.

[QUOTE=clenz;2120912]Welcome to clenz's third annual Pick Em Extravaganza presented by AnyGivenSaturday.com!

In the past people (Caribbean Henxthumbsupx) have complained about bias with the games I pick and it not being "fair".


12. Don't bitch about you thinking I screwed up your picks (Caribbean Henxpeacex picked Jacksonville State to make it to the finalsxconfusedx) when the reality you didn't pick the way you think you did. This was an a couple years ago, and to a lighter extent last season. I literally can't screw your picks up. The form works 99.999999999999% [QUOTE=clenz;2120912]

No worries Clenz! I got to watch the Playoffs.... Gracias, I haven't forgot that...

[DJKyR0]

Say clenz, I couldn't help but notice that UNI was pre-selected in my picks to beat Iowa.

With the first game this weekend I'll start releasing some pick results to see where people are at compared to what you picked.

I have 5 categories:
Unanimous - 100%
Nearly unanimous - 85-99% for one team
Solid favorite - 70-84% for one team
Slight favorite - 55-69% for one team
Toss up - >55% for one team


Up first...those that are unanimous as of 8:45 central winning time 8/18

I know what some of you are about to say, I've heard it before

"Why would you post that? Now those that haven't submitted just play the % and get high scores".

False....well you'll finish near the top in points but not as high as you'd think

You don't know who is in what category for their picks, and they might be real good at hitting that "upset".

I had one that was hidden last season, it was just a "play the %" pick. Would have finished 12th. That's not bad, but it takes a lot more than playing the % to win.

[clenz]

The following is a list of who has done preseason and week 1 picks.

Notice there are some that have done 1 and not the other. You might want to to fix that. Also, I'll point some people out at the end that are walking on this ice before the season starts

2 people picked UND? Wow!! I am shocked by that. (I did not pick them)

[tomq04]

I like the Cal Poly pick to win the big sky.

[Mattymc727]

There are 8 different picks for CAA title winner. Must be a lot of homers here. I got a kick out of JMU getting no votes and Albany getting 2...

[mvemjsunpx]

So… can we pick this weekend's game separate from next week's games?

*edit* - Apparently not. I guess I'll just have to take that one as wrong.

Never mind. I see I can change my picks up until the cutoff time with a PM, so I'll go ahead & pick Week 1 now.

Y'all look out...the 2013 2nd place finisher has submitted his masterpiece.

Only cause I forgot to pick the National title game last season. You're welcome. xthumbsupx

And the time has passed to have the EWU/SHSU game count towards your total.

Hey....i resemble that remark...


What else would i be doing at 930 on a Saturday night other than editing my pick forms from my phone while binge watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix.

Have your seen that show? I didn't get /refused to buy the hype when it was originally run but thought I'd give it a Netflix go and I've watched the first 4 seasons in less than a week...

He'll still have to pick it...but it will be wrong.

Dang clenz, I already missed the AGS poll registration and I almost missed your pick em, but I got er done. I have been out of circulation too long. This is the year!

[jhaan79]

I've been browsing this forum for a while and have finally pulled the trigger on registering! And I'm game for the Pick 'Em!

[clenz]

Just a couple hours left to catch the Thursday games for you totals!

[clenz]

Updated my signature...get used to the new format.

Totals will be finished tomorrow.

[clenz]

Totals are finished and added into the sheet.

Pretty good first week.

The importance of getting picks in on time showed through for the bottom three this week. All 3 of them would have been in the top 2 or 3 (with ties) but missed 7, 9, and 9 each due to just not getting picks in on time - especially if the sheet is open for weeks a head of time.

[bjtheflamesfan]

Wow...I think that's my highest placement ever! Can't wait for week 2's form

[clenz]

Not to sound too hard on your picks in the past, but to echo what you said....It isn't often that a point total stands out to me but when I saw a 26 next to your name I had to re-count....sorryxpeacexxbeerchugx

Last season, in weeks you picks you went 20, 22, 18, 18, 18, 23...or 119/180 (66%) for an average of 19.8...

Granted that was actually slightly higher than the average of 19.08 picks

2012 you did actually hit 26 once...the first week you ever played.

26, 20, 23, 22, 21, 20, 20, 23 or 175/240 (72.9%) or an average of 21.8/30 which was above the average of 21.2 that season

[bjtheflamesfan]

I generally take a lot more chances on games but a lot of them were pretty clear cut. will be interesting to see how the lineup for this week looks

[TheRevSFA]

I'll take it. Good start thus far

The analysis by Deadspin & the color guy weren't quite right there. HC was right not to take a knee. There was about a 12 second difference between the game clock & play clock and the Crusaders would've had to snap it on 4th. down if they didn't make the first.

Dude, no need to get your pantaloons all up in a bundle. Yes, people understand that to put anything on, you have to put in a lot of ****ing work. I've done games like this on straight paper. I understand that it's difficult. However, it is a ****ing fact of life that the more errors you have, you lose credibility. No matter where you are, you screw up, people are going to call your accuracy out. Not just me, but most people have a motto that if you're going to do something, get it right. If you mess up, acknowledge it and fix it. Don't turn into a small child who just got his toy broken by his older brother. Sorry to break up your day, man. Just stating a fact. I had ZERO insult in my post. I stated a mere fact. Maybe learn how to take that without turning into the hulk. It's not like I killed your child or anything. Jeez.

1. I already said it would be fixed before your dumbass showed up.

2. The place I got the score from, ESPN, had the teams flipped when I looked at the score. I had, still have going forward, no reason to doubt what ESPN shows me 4 hours after the game.

3. Again, question my integrity if you want...just goes to show your a dip****


You've never, once, in three years of this game posted on the threads or submitted any kind of pick...hell, I'd go back to 2009 when I started this game on CS doing everything by hand/paper. There is zero reason for you to ever post in this read again. You will never have your picks allowed, ever, from this point on.

Although, the general arrogance and stupidity of your posts does very much lend itself to the styling of being a UND fan, which you appear to be....

Oh, there goes my credibility again....


Damn.

[clenz]

Back to the topic of the thread...


Week 2 appears to be pretty much consensus so far.

Only 3 FCS games have a split lower than 80/20. Every single games seems to be between 85-100% for one team


The three that aren't



Chattanooga
Jacksonville State
50/50


Tennessee Tech
Indiana State
50/50


Sacred Heart
Lafayette
59/41




The Nova/Fordham game is really shocking me to see how lopsided it is to one side.

[clenz]

So I don't lose anymore credibility/integrity...

I have been replying to PMs most of the morning about confusion on getting the picks back through e-mail.

I don't know what's going on with my form e-mailer right now.

Dude, scores get reported incorrectly initially a lot, especially in FCS. Add to that an occasional human error. But clenz does a HELL of a job providing entertainment for us FCS folks who actually frequent AGS, unlike yourself who I've never, ever seen a post from until today. To question the credibility of his game (who none of the actual participants have ever done) after the first week of the season is ridiculous. Go back to whatever FBS site you came from and leave this site to those of us who post more than 15 times a year.

I'm thinking next year I'm pulling the FBS games out and going strictly with the top 25.

It won't give an even number of picks each week but people don't seem to like the FBS games. At this point I don't think I'll pull them out this season unless I get a decent amount of support for it.

If I do get support for pulling them this year I'll retroactively pull all FBS games out of the picks.

I'd probably keep a couple FCS toss ups to get an even number of picks for the week I guess.

Instead of 30 games it would shrink to 25 with just enough FCS toss ups to fill to 25.




So, I'm asking you all for input - for reals.

My game already has no credibility/integrity so why does it matter?

At this point I just remove them from the sheet going forward. I guess I can leave the ones that were already done on the scoring sheet though.

There have been 50 players submitting picks (ish) per week through the first 2 weeks. Between the PMs and messages on this thread (and last years game, to be honest) I'd guess I'm at about 15-20 who publicly don't like the FBS games. Standard attrition through the season we usually finish with 30ish players. So if I go with the assumption that 15 players don't like the FBS games (using a rough guess of PMs, here, and last years thread) and a standard finish of about 30 players we are at 50% of the people not liking them.

I tell you what. If I get to 22 players not wanting the FBS games by the end of the week...so 7 more...I'll drop them after this week.

So if you don't like them recruit your friends who play to vote against them.

Put it this way Clenz its your game, you set it up how you want. I will play either way with our without FBS games. I only pay attention to one FBS team anyways (Nebraska, been a fan since the mid 80's), so if you get rid of the FBS games it won't bother me any.

I can do with or without them.

I follow both so I have no problem picking them.

However, taking the time to correct 5-7 less games per week would be nice...

just have your minions correct the games for you. ;)

[ElCid]

I always fret at those games because I do not keep as close an eye on the FBS. I have good weeks and bad weeks, but if I was pressed for an answer, I would say ditch them. But, I like the 30 number. There are a lot of greats games outside of the top 25. But if it is too much work, then at least go with 25 total each week. Worst case we just have the top 25 if they all meet unranked opponents, but matchups between ranked teams should allow about 3-7 other games depending on the week and that is good. I say keep what we had so far for scoring. Less work. And that actually probably hurts me!

[clenz]

Typically there is between 18-22 games involving the top 25.

If anything I'd drop the number to 25 and only go with FCS games.

The issue is going to be the time difference.

Team is flying out Wednesday but that's a LONG ass trip and then to recover from that and the time difference with a kick off that is 11pm Iowa time.

I'm thinking next year I'm pulling the FBS games out and going strictly with the top 25.


I know I'm probably the only one but I absolutely gave zero **** about the FBS and paid no attention and just 50/50'd it every time. It was a factor in deciding I could step away from finishing at the very bottom this year. I probably still won't be able to jump back in when/if you go to strictly FCS but gotta admit I'd at least consider it then.

Still. Keep up the great work you do on this

You could replace the FBS games with randomly chosen FCS games.

Finding that many good fcs match ups are hard to come by in that qty each week.

Effective immediately in cutting the game to strictly fcs games and 25 max games.

I know people liked to complain that the FBS games were their downfall...and only 1 week to compare it too, but the average % correct is statistically identical as the first two weeks.

Compared to the past two years, the average is way up...75-77% this year compared to 67-69% last two years

[ElCid]

This is sizing up to be a separation week.

[tomq04]

I'm squarely in last place of active participants...gotta start somewhere... I'm doing better in the Big Sky :)

[Mattymc727]

Still within striking distance. Im listed at 41, but only 10 points from the top. Need a couple of strong weeks.

Woo Hoo...2nd best picks for week four, one behind clenz

[clenz]

Totals after week 4 are updated.

Is someone going to challenge me this year, or nah?

Damn.

Also, due to a small rule/logistics change you'll notice on the pick form I have started to color code usernames on the total form.

I've never had a rule against missing weeks before, but I'm putting one in.

The AGS poll allows you to miss 2, I think, week before your done. Well, my games you're going to get three misses.

1 miss (or --- in the score column) gets you 1 * by your name and your name highlighted in a pale green.
second miss gets another * and a deeper yellow
third miss and your name goes red and I don't even look at your picks anymore.

This starts with the first week you entered picks. That means if you are like chattanoogamocs, and didn't start until week 4 his counter starts now, and footballer23s counter started week 2.

So far I have 2 people who have gone red due to know submissions since week 1 - DJKyR0 and stevdock.

jmufan999, rabbit74, and bison fan in nw mn all have 2 strikes

smilo, msubobcat, and da_bison at at 1

That's a smart move...that way after 3 weeks you can just eliminate those not playing to keep the score sheet from being a mess at the bottom. I am embarrassed to say that I just never noticed the contest until last week (I am really excited to start playing)...I have this bad habit of immediately ignoring any posts that are stickies.

[chattanoogamocs]

BTW...thanks for this. I know it must be time consuming on your part.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to clenz again.

False...

I told bf02 that i owed him extra points for being a couple hours late on his payment... So i took them from you. He said you'd be cool with it

i'm coming back!

[clenz]

Totals are done.


We had our first perfect week in 5 years of doing this game....ever....

It just happened to be by me...

I now hold a 9 game lead.

Come on guys....give me a challenge.xcoffeexxlolx


I've been real lucky the last two weeks. I took a lot of risks on 50/50 games and they've all paid off. I'll probably finish with 15 next week.

[clenz]

Games being added to the system now.

20 games featuring top 25 teams this week
12 top 25 teams on the road with 2 at top 25 teams

[blackbeard]

Ugh, PO'ed at myself for forgetting to submit my picks this week....

Wrong. You can make up huge gains in the playoffs. The key is never miss a week.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

[Southern Bison]

I finished 2nd last year because I didn't miss a week and I followed UAH's bar pick-up philosophy...make a late run and take home whatever's available.

[ming01]

Every week you have multiple games that are backwards. SUU is on the road. Same with SFA and SIU. #FigureItOut

[clenz]

I pull the games from the ESPN page.

Hope this gets updated soon... xlolx my week gets pretty busy by about Wednesday.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

clenz is having some problems with net connections and is currently using an ol' flip phone or something like that so he is gonna be running behind this week fella's.

[UNH72Plus]

Clenz, first of all I think we all appreciate the time you put in to run this show. Thanks!

I did noticed on the spreadsheet that lists all the participants and there picks that you mistakenly listed Tennessee State as the winner in their game with Southeast Missouri. It was actually SEMO 28 - Tn St 21.

[IBleedYellow]

I'm posting this on behalf of Clenz:

Points have been updated as of last weeks games. Picks should be up sometime around 3:30 Central today.

[BisonFan02]

Awesome!

Yup, in bold. SEMO beat Tn St (and I got SEMO correct! :D )

It looks like the update of the form this week may be still "in progress."

After you get past about the 7th game, the rest are all still picks from last week.

I think I will just hold off until Wednesday to make picks.

I run the Bisonville FCS Survivor Pick Em League xcoffeex. Just giving Clenz crap. I know he puts in a lot of time and work into this. Thanks Clenz!

Apparently I'm clenz middleman here:
" Sorry for the massive delay and short time frame for this weeks games. It is now open. I will explain the delay on Friday...I hope - and my ISP better hope I can as well, because if I can't there will be hell to pay for them."

Don't get me started with the internet issues I had. I was without internet from Sept 29-Oct 9 and without cable starting mid-day Oct 4 with no effort from my ISP to fix it

Here is a small snippet of my Twitter timeline, posted through a ****ty loaner phone, from October 4th...the day I about drove to my local mediacom office and beat the **** out of someone...

They are in reverse order for when they were posted...and this was after I deleted some of them that were a little "too over the top"

Congrats on having a monopoly on my area, @MediacomCable (https://twitter.com/MediacomCable) so you can bend customers over knowing they have no other choice but to take it.
Glad i pay your stupidly high rates for this kind of ****ty service @MediacomCable (https://twitter.com/MediacomCable). I wish i had another option other but i don't
Seriously, 5 days, 5 phone calls, 5 agents, zero answers, zero effort made to fox the issue. Oh my cable doesn't work either @MediacomCable (https://twitter.com/MediacomCable)
5 days in a row I've called @MediacomCable (https://twitter.com/MediacomCable) due to my internet not working. 5 days in a row without getting any help. Get better at service



Long story, and many swear words left out and all they had to do to fix the issue was replace 2 wires there were each less than a foot long outside my house. Work was done in less than 5 minutes once the tech showed up...I should be back in normal service this week.


I really, really, do feel terrible about last week. I will put in extra work this week...or something like that.

Working on totals now

I didn't threaten anyone at any time.

However, a couple comparisons/things I like i made probably slightly over the top/used a couple words I didn't need too...

Difference is I recognize when I might have gone over the top and took action to correct it....lakes still defends it as "well, I wasn't arrested so I did nothing wrong"...oh, I also didn't ever actually threaten anyone. Just compared them to things that suck

Hey it's not your fault, don't worry about it, I know frustrating that **** gets we have similar issues with our ISP at work. Blows my mind how they stay in business but I guess it helps when they have a monopoly on the market!xlolx

Forgot to post this last night.


games are open

[Mattymc727]

So is this turning into the "who can beat Clenz at his own game" pick em?

God, I suck at this!!!

[clenz]

I'll remove myself from being the "official" winner this year if that happens again...which I would be shocked if it did.

UNHFan.....just keep playing...make your picks every week, and you can climb the standings. The playoffs separate the men from the boys. :D

This, and throw in the AQ/Bid points and the standings shift a lot.

[Mattymc727]

Just looked over my picks for the playoffs, not too far off. Im pretty much dead on with the conference champs except for the Socon....Damn you Furman!!!!

Also, seems I put a little too much faith in the UNI hype, hopefully they turn it around.

I won last years playoff bracket challenge, so hopefully Ill pull through come playoff time.

2 FBS losses and a loss to a top 15 rated team, on the road, on a last possession WR Pass...

Not exactly "bad" losses
