Welcome to the fourth annual AGS Top 25 Pick’Em Extravaganza presented by clenz Enterprises Inc in collaboration with AnyGivenSaturday.com! The best pick'em game in the world (probably not actually true...or even close to true). Last season the game saw record participation levels carry through the entire season. As was learned the first three seasons, the key to this game isn't being the high score every week, or even most weeks, it's playing every week. The preseason form takes ~5-10 minutes to complete and the weekly form takes ~2 minutes to fill out so there is no reason not to play every week.


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

The rules are as follows. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sU90CJwKJpEBj8ioFHrDy6LxF7kuZK-_NDf1WXMB6HtxiVVGBR5D7bryVazFfYPHp7Qt6JkKwls_ptgKx WQB3t53MgXPVgIcGDtdb5ZkHwARFOVdHiHvflf2zp8nCGm6n3v UUA0https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/caQ975RDO0WdwwIlwL1BH-sxacgEnXOz1o3NzbaYZusy-dRA2J18y7p7_5FJ1mCOai9WAKmnKRuIzOMXXGy69WUGBtxA3kg Ll47HED3sEZ0kZGlvyGXdaLwPA1D56zouT2QbW4Mhttps://lh5.googleusercontent.com/gJENysrfkulczCHMXXU1SUgiX76LLoc4SGn_6TN0-6Z9wyJ2KkhR4XQEv9lLQVxU6z-4tLzp6bWmsPAj6qtJ6zzj22BUnpFc6jSWHpsdvl5gGIERHQxF0 bHVDf7FfAQs1ury6Hk

1. Game will consist of picking the winner of each top 25 game and a couple interesting unranked FCS match-ups totaling 25 games each week.

2. The official deadline for each week's picks are:


Preseason Picks: Saturday, September 5 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 1 Picks: Saturday, September 5 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 2 Picks: Saturday, September 12 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 3 Picks: Saturday, September 19 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 4 Picks: Saturday, September 26 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 5 Picks: Saturday, October 3 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 6 Picks: Saturday, October 10 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 7 Picks: Saturday, October 17 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 8 Picks: Saturday, October 24 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 9 Picks: Saturday,October 31 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 10 Picks: Saturday November 7 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 11 Picks: Saturday, November 14 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
Week 12 Picks: Saturday, November 21 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
First Round: Saturday, November 28 TIME TBD
Second Round: Saturday, December 5 TIME TBD
Quarterfinals #1/2: Friday, December 11 TIME TBD
Quarterfinals #3/4: Saturday, December 12 TIME TBD
Semifinal #1: Friday, December 18 TIME TBD
Semifinal #2: Saturday, December 19 TIME TBD
Championship: TIME TBD




[*=1]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 an incorrect pick.
[*=1]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 and incorrect pick. Times for those games are TBD by the NCAA and thus the rule will be by kick-off of the first game.
[*=1]Due to NDSU @ Montana being played a week before any other games it will be treated like SHSU vs EWU last season. It will be on the week 1 form. Montana will show up on the week 1 pick sheet twice due to having games 8/29 and 9/5 (assuming they are in the preseason top 25 poll). The cut off to have the NDSU/Montana game count as a potential correct pick is Saturday 8/29, 2015 11:00 AM Central Winning Time
[*=1]You can change/edit your picks at anytime during the week. To change your pick reply to the confirmation email, leaving the original email with your picks, that you receive stating which change you would like to make. You may not see it reflected instantly but I will reply to your e-mail to let you know it was done. If you don’t get a reply please wait until points are totaled and see if I changed it. If it isn't another email, KINDLY WORDED, asking if I missed it is asked for. As long as I have a copy of the email in my inbox you will get your point. Please remember that after the week 1 cut off you cannot go back and edit preseason picks, no matter how many players you watch get carted off the field week after week from your preseason champion pick.



3. The AGS poll will be the poll used for the duration of this game. No other poll will even be considered. If the first AGS poll is not released in time for sufficient picking time of week 1 games I will use last seasons final top 25 poll.

4. Every effort will be made to get picks for the coming week up by 11:00 PM Central Winning Time each Monday. I will post a heads up if it will be later. My wife is due with our second child in mid-September so things might get sketchy. I will work on finding a suitable person to bring about clenz Enterprises Inc. to manage short-term if I have too.

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

6. Scoring Format


PRESEASON

Each pick that you correctly pick to be automatic bid or an at-large bid will be worth 5 points.
Each pick that makes the playoffs but was incorrectly picked as an automatic bid or at-large will be worth 1 point.
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.


Regular Season

Each correct pick is worth 1 point.


PLAYOFF

Scoring is based on a betting system and each round is worth 40 points. You will pick the winner and then bet points on the game. You will win whatever you bet, but you will also lose whatever you bet if you are wrong

First & Second rounds have 8 games so each game will have 5 points to bet
Quarterfinals has 4 games so each game is worth 10
Semifinals has 2 games so each game is worth 20
Championship game is worth 40






7. Each player must have a minimum post count of 100 by the pick cutoff 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 and not engaging in the entire community. 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 66 days to get to 100. For a brand new member who hasn't posted yet that is about 1.5 posts per day. The same rule is in place for the AGS poll.

8.In the event of a tie at the end of it all, I 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. In case the world doesn’t implode I'll figure it out somehow.

9. Players will get 2 missed weeks before they are disqualified. This means if you miss a third week you are disqualified from the game and your picks will be thrown out. This also means if I haven’t received a submission from you by week 3 I will not be accepting any submissions from you for the remainder of the season. If this happens before the playoffs you will lose all AQ/AL points you may have earned. Missing the preseason picks does not count as missing a week, though submitting them does not save you from your first miss not being counted - ala the AGS Poll. Once disqualified you will be removed from the scoring sheet and your username will be placed on the “Sheet of Shame”, which is new this year. It allows the scoring sheet to stay cleaner and easier to read

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. There were a couple people last year that had issues with this. It will also count as a missed week towards disqualification.

11. Do not submit your picks more than once. If you enter them twice there is a three 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 publicly again, and your submissions are thrown out and it counts towards disqualification strikes. The third time you are disqualified from the game, even if you don’t have the required number of disqualification strikes. 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 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. I didn’t really enforce this last year but it will be enforced going forward. If you have a question on if you submitted your picks check your email. If you didn’t get an email there is a 99% chance you didn’t submit them. If you believe you did but don’t have an e-mail confirming it send me a PM. I work in front of a computer 7-8 hours a day with a smartphone and tablet, I'm on this forum nearly every hour that I'm awake - seriously....I am as sad as that may sound.

12. Don't complain about you thinking I screwed up your picks when the reality is you didn't pick the way you think you did. This was an issue a couple years ago. 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. And the reality at this point is I found a way to have the sheet score itself, so hopefully that actually works…. This is also a great time to remind you to CHECK YOUR PRESEASON PICKS BEFORE THE WEEK 1 DEADLINE POSTED IN RULE #2. It is on you to double check your submissions are correct, not mine.

13. Email 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 email and causes much more hassle than it's worth. So much so that effective this season the only way to change picks, and what not, is through e-mail. You can certainly post it on the thread as well, in-fact I encourage it, as it will provide a backup of everything. However, remember the only official method is through e-mail. Starting this year I have an e-mail dedicated to the things I do for the site - [email protected]

14. 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. Nobody 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 3 years I've put up with a lot more than I should have because I didn’t want to enforce rules and be the bad guy. 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.

15. By submitting your picks are are agreeing to above set of rules and give up all rights. I’m pretty sure this rule IS legally binding so….


The winner of the game gets a couple nice things - #1.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. #2. AGSadmin will hit you up with an rep boost.

I am retiring from the contest this year. Someone else has to win once in a while...amirite?....

I'll be running 2 or 3 pick systems to test if there is a way to "cheat" the system for points. I'm not sure exactly what I'll run yet but I'm thinking I'm going to run one that always picks the higher rated team, one that only picks home teams, one that only picks what a majority of other users pick and maybe 1 other one....or some combination of those.

This is my favorite time of year - not when the games actually kick off, but July 1st through the fist week of games people start coming back the board. People have hope. The picks so so much homerism masquerading as confidence.

It's just fun.

People are hopeful, it's human nature. With that comes belief in the good of what you want and minimizing the not so good. You are dead on with it being a good time of year because I'll take over exuberance over beaten down every day of the week. In the end reality is good for only one fan base so the rest of us need that. xlolx

Meh. 2 is good enough for me. I can now just sit back and watch others enjoy themselves. If you want to pretend I'm playing just take the guy that's in first and add 1.5 point per week of the season and pretend I'm playingxlolx

I don't think I posted anything towards players to "inspire them". I may, or may not have, in my early drafts of that post but I edited that post down 3 or 4 times to take anything that could be conceived that way.

Bump to keep this in the unread post option or bold at the top to keep it on peoples minds.

Also, those of you who submitted pre-Jacksonville's issue have been e-mailed asking for a replacement pick. If a replacement pick isn't e-mailed back you forfeit the point

I like to give updates from time to time during the preseason with what numbers are looking like, though I typically leave team names out.

So far I've only got 12 entries - BUT the deadline is still like 45 days, or so, away...but of those 12 here are some fun stats

Already there can be no conference that is unanimous with it's champion selection, though there are 6 conferences with at least
-There are 2 conferences with only 2 teams getting selected so far (and they are extremely unanimous one way)
-There are 5 conferences with 3 teams getting votes - though the PFL is one of them and with Jacksonville being replaced on ballots it's actually moved to 4 teams
-There are 3 conferences with 4 teams getting votes
-There are 32 teams that have been picked to win a conference (not including duplicates)
-There have been 44 teams picked to make it as an at-large
-There are 18 teams that make at least one appearance on BOTH lists
-There are 30 teams that appear on only 1 of the list (either AQ or AL)
-That means all in all there are 48 teams that have been picked to make the 24 team field....with roughly 1/4 of the preseason picks I'll get in. So if I carry the 1 and account for standard variation...we'll probably have 60-70 teams picked to make the 24 team field.:D

I know I said I don't normally list school names, but I was going through and seeing who appeared the most.

Here are the schools that appear on at least 10 of the ballots



Chattanooga
12


Illinois State
12


North Dakota State
12


Northern Iowa
12


Sam Houston State
12


Coastal Carolina
11


Eastern Washington
11


Liberty
11


Montana
11


Villanova
11


Jacksonville State
10


Montana State
10


New Hampshire
10




I was pretty damn shocked to see UNI on every ballot so far and shocked that CCU, EWU, Nova, UNH and Montana weren't on every ballot - especially UNH at 10

Okay...one more before I go to bed.

Total projected bids by conference through 12 submissions

Big Sky - 45 with 8 teams
Big South - 22 with 2 teams
CAA - 48 with 9 teams
MEAC - 1 with 1 team...I'm thinking this was a slip up and should be a CAA team which would make that 49 with 9 teams
MVFC - 57 with 9 teams (that's 90% of the conference BTW...you can probably guess which didn't get a vote so far
NEC - 12 with 4 teams
OVC - 22 with 3 teams (it appears the OVC hype train isn't being bought into this year...at least early)
Patriot - 13 with 3 teams
Pioneer - 12 with 3 teams
SLC - 32 with 5 teams
SoCon - 23 with 6 teams but only 1 on more than 25% of the submissions


A couple things I already pointed out but want to repeat

Apparently 90% of the MVFC is considered playoff worth and 6 of them are on at least 25% of the submissions and only 1 is a 1 time submission

Apparently the SoCon isn't really thought of that highly anymore - regardless what fubear and the lot want to sell on other threads

The OVC overrating and overprojected seems to have ended...so far.

A MEAC team? I guess they are AL eligible should they want it. I think that's going to be an email though

Week 1 picks are now open.

Please be aware of the deadlines due to having games August 29th, Sept 3rd, Sept 4th and Sept 5th.

You will see Montana twice. That is because they play twice before the end of week 1 with a week 0 and week 1 game.

My wife is due with our second child in mid-September so things might get sketchy. I will work on finding a suitable person to bring about clenz Enterprises Inc. to manage short-term if I have too.

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

6. Scoring Format


PRESEASON

Each pick that you correctly pick to be automatic bid or an at-large bid will be worth 5 points.
Each pick that makes the playoffs but was incorrectly picked as an automatic bid or at-large will be worth 1 point.
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.


Regular Season

Each correct pick is worth 1 point.


PLAYOFF

Scoring is based on a betting system and each round is worth 40 points. You will pick the winner and then bet points on the game. You will win whatever you bet, but you will also lose whatever you bet if you are wrong

First & Second rounds have 8 games so each game will have 5 points to bet
Quarterfinals has 4 games so each game is worth 10
Semifinals has 2 games so each game is worth 20
Championship game is worth 40






7. Each player must have a minimum post count of 100 by the pick cutoff 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 and not engaging in the entire community. 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 66 days to get to 100. For a brand new member who hasn't posted yet that is about 1.5 posts per day. The same rule is in place for the AGS poll.

8.In the event of a tie at the end of it all, I 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. In case the world doesn’t implode I'll figure it out somehow.

9. Players will get 2 missed weeks before they are disqualified. This means if you miss a third week you are disqualified from the game and your picks will be thrown out. This also means if I haven’t received a submission from you by week 3 I will not be accepting any submissions from you for the remainder of the season. If this happens before the playoffs you will lose all AQ/AL points you may have earned. Missing the preseason picks does not count as missing a week, though submitting them does not save you from your first miss not being counted - ala the AGS Poll. Once disqualified you will be removed from the scoring sheet and your username will be placed on the “Sheet of Shame”, which is new this year. It allows the scoring sheet to stay cleaner and easier to read

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. There were a couple people last year that had issues with this. It will also count as a missed week towards disqualification.

11. Do not submit your picks more than once. If you enter them twice there is a three 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 publicly again, and your submissions are thrown out and it counts towards disqualification strikes. The third time you are disqualified from the game, even if you don’t have the required number of disqualification strikes. 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 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. I didn’t really enforce this last year but it will be enforced going forward. If you have a question on if you submitted your picks check your email. If you didn’t get an email there is a 99% chance you didn’t submit them. If you believe you did but don’t have an e-mail confirming it send me a PM. I work in front of a computer 7-8 hours a day with a smartphone and tablet, I'm on this forum nearly every hour that I'm awake - seriously....I am as sad as that may sound.

12. Don't complain about you thinking I screwed up your picks when the reality is you didn't pick the way you think you did. This was an issue a couple years ago. 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. And the reality at this point is I found a way to have the sheet score itself, so hopefully that actually works…. This is also a great time to remind you to CHECK YOUR PRESEASON PICKS BEFORE THE WEEK 1 DEADLINE POSTED IN RULE #2. It is on you to double check your submissions are correct, not mine.

13. Email 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 email and causes much more hassle than it's worth. So much so that effective this season the only way to change picks, and what not, is through e-mail. You can certainly post it on the thread as well, in-fact I encourage it, as it will provide a backup of everything. However, remember the only official method is through e-mail. Starting this year I have an e-mail dedicated to the things I do for the site - [email protected]

14. 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. Nobody 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 3 years I've put up with a lot more than I should have because I didn’t want to enforce rules and be the bad guy. 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.

15. By submitting your picks are are agreeing to above set of rules and give up all rights. I’m pretty sure this rule IS legally binding so….


The winner of the game gets a couple nice things - #1.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. #2. AGSadmin will hit you up with an rep boost.

Up to 30 preseason entries and about 20 week 1 submissions.

I am adding more people to the strike list:
-Montana37 - double entry on the preseason submissions. That's strike 1. Also, you joined the same day you submitted picks (today) and have zero posts. Better get moving before the auto DQ kicks in.
-Chatty68 - Strike 1 you aren't member here. Strike 2 - you can't seem to enter the username and e-mail in the right spot AND as an email you entered 95412, or some dumb **** like that. You're already at the end of your rope.


Current Strike List

1 Strike:

Montana37 - double submission/potential auto DQ for post count

2 strikes:
Chatty68 - my discretion

I'll let you know here before I strike you on it because I didn't do any striking on it last year. The rules state to enter your name exactly as it appears on the site - that means capitalization as well. You aren't the only one but it's the most obvious with you because of the number of caps and the extreme inconsistencies I've seen you submit with - Go Lehigh TU Owl, go lehigh tu owl, tu owl, go lehigh, lehigh tu owl, lehigh owl, etc... With you it's pretty obvious who it is but that also makes it frustrating to deal with.

You aren't alone, but two forms submitted from you and two different versions of your name submitted.

Same for week 1 picks. 47 for week 1 is lower than previous years, but fewer junk accounts.

I've gone through and deleted those who have been eliminated from the game due to missing too many weeks. This eliminated 16 people that submitted a preseason submission. That means that they submitted picks for only 1 of the first 3 weeks (since they obviously missed this week), if any at all.

There is one player that didn't submit anything preseason - NoDakBizon - and as much as I hate to do it I might have to stop taking submissions from him. I gave a pass for far too long. Only been a member since July of 14 and 3 posts - two of them before Aug 22 2014. I should actually enforce the rules. I'll keep accepting them for now, but if by Oct 20 I don't see more activity from him he will be shunned.

This, as of now, is the list of people that are still in the game.

I appreciate the e-mails and PMs giving me formulas and tips for totaling the sheets....but I have my own formula set up. I just didn't apply any filters to create a "wrong" and "right" answer in it. Once I do that the sheet does it automatically. Also, Google docs doesn't work like Excel when it comes to formulas. Sheets is a very stripped down, and basic, version of Excel.


I have been posting, but it's been from a phone. Haven't really had a ton of access to Docs this week to look at the sheets in desktop form.

****...forgot to put the new link in my signature.


So...here's the deal for this week. No miss will be counted. If you have time to submit, submit.

1. If you submit that is the score you will get.
2. If you don't submit you will automatically match your best score of the season....I've already got that loaded into the sheet for you to see if it's worth playing this week to you.


Games are open, but as I said. Due to time issues and my screw up with not updating the link it's up to you this week. No consequences for not submitting

I was going to do just the average of your entire season....and it turned to everyone getting 19 or 20

If I get enough push back I'll go to the average of it.

I agree. Although probably because I've demonstrated the ability to be consistently bad.

EDIT: Also, I think the current setup will discourage some people from submitting picks.

I think giving non-players the average instead of the best score is the preferred option. Otherwise, most anyone who plays gets screwed if it's an upset heavy week.

Then non-players could get the lowest submitted score -1, and that to me, is still generous.

Okay...

That's what I needed to know. It's why I opened it up for discussion.


As of now I will go with this:

If no submission is put in you get the lowest score -2 for the week.

I was feeling bad for doing it so late this week that i overcompensated. I like that idea.

Didn't he already explain it? He felt bad for opening it late so was trying to make an unneeded concession it appears. You figure you needed to jump on it when it is already acquiesced to? Running this stuff ain't easy so when **** goes a bit askew it is best not to act like an asshat over it.

Christ I started the GOTW late and I felt bad as well so I know exactly the deal with trying to make it right with all the folks. Then when they get bitchy I get real intolerant cuz they are doing a tiny bit of work comparatively. Say "thanks" and give him some rep.

This. What happens if it's one of those chaos weeks where the guys who are picking are getting 15-16 correct and then the guys who didn't pick are getting 20-23. I think if you said there were no misses, at the highest, the missed guys should get the house average for this week. Or even the house average minus one or two. Basing off a previous week would be rough in case this week ended up being an outlier.

Edit, just now reading Clenz's update on making it the lowest score -2. That's much more practical.

1. **** you to any whiny funts
2. I've been doing this for 6 years.
3. Turns out I've been forced into averaging 60 hours a week at my first job (5:30a - 5:30p M-F), another 10 doing part time work at another place to help a group of friends out, have a 2.5 year old and a 7 week old that is colicky as **** and not sleeping. Meaning I get to average about 1.5 hours of sleep at night - if I'm lucky - things get missed. Unforunately I made the mistake of making sure the branch I'm the manager of was running smoothly this week, and taking care of my kids, and getting my **** together for the AGS radio show in line before making sure this game (which I get nothing in return for, BTW), and getting 10 hours of work for my buddies was completely fixed. Mea ****ing culpa on that one.

What some of you don't understand is the amount of work that actually goes into this kind of thing, and how quickly life can **** your perfect little world up. Feel free to not play anymore since I don't understand what work this ****ing entails. If you don't like it, don't play. I'd rather you not if your going to be a whiny funt about it.

Every year, about this time, I really start to wonder if **** like this is worth it. I always come back because, for the most part, I enjoy doing it. At this point, I don't know anymore.

Also...rule 14


14. 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. Nobody 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 3 years I've put up with a lot more than I should have because I didn’t want to enforce rules and be the bad guy. 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.

Please, I beg you though, to double check your totals and the row above and below you. The filters should have caught everything, but it did miss CSU being worth 1 in the AL sheet due to a typo on my part.

Did you submit to the AGS bracket challenge? Anyone that missed this but submitted there will be able to roll that into this as both are AGS competitions using the same games.

Confidence points will be

9 point or less win = 1 point wager
10-17 = 2 point wager
18-24 = 3 point wager
24-31 = 4 point wager
32+ = 5 point wager

That goes for anyone that missed.

Well, I won the round. xthumbsupx

I am an idiot. First time I missed picks all year. I will put them in for the last 2 games right now clenz. I must have zoned big time. I have my bracket for the other ones is that is good. What an idiot I am. I kept wanting to do a little more research.

Totals are updated.

As proof to what I've said all year that anything can happen come playoff time and you don't need to go crazy on picking upsets during the regular season, or be near the top every week...

paward has 47 points the last two weeks, and 91 if you include the AQ/AL picks from preseason. He was a steady all year, but not the "star" picker.
On the flip side ElCid has just 14 in the playffs, BisonTru 13, Tiger93 6, and plenty of others with less than 10...or even 5...points in the playoffs.

There's a whole lot of points left on the board to be won...or lost...yet.

Hey clenz,

I haven't seen my name on the list for a few weeks...are my playoff picks not being accepted or something? I know I missed a few weeks but I wasn't sure if they had to be consecutive or not before you came off the leaderboard

Also, didn't you have a sheet with all the people who had been eliminated or something at one point?

December 14th, 2015, 10:52 PM
Yes.

You missed three weeks during the season. I can sort through e-mails and find the dates I'm missing. You can keep submitting, but they won't count towards a total. I got rid of the deleted user sheet before the season started. I just didn't like it in practice as much as I did in theory


Points from the quarters are updated
