AGS Crazy 8’s Survival League - Week 4, Fall 2022

[Preferred Walk-On]

We're 1/4 into the season and we have picked ~1/5 of the teams in the FCS. Despite the 8 picks/wk, the only players eliminated from the game thus far have been due to missed weeks for picks. This week, four were perfect, and three of these are at the top or very near the top with 22-23 correct picks. Nice work!

The leaderboard (link in my signature) has been updated to reflect results through Week 3. Let conference play begin, and I can't wait to see what happens from here.

Below is the link for making Week 4 picks. I hope everyone is enjoying the game so far.

I made a terrible mistake last week. Submitted Idaho St instead of Idaho in the drop down. Cost me a perfect week and a reuse. At least I saw that before trying to reuse that team and getting another loss.

I'm in.

Also, I noticed that my "alphabetical" listing of conferences on everybody's results/picks sheet lists the "OVC" conference and teams between the "Big South" and the "CAA". While I don't have an Ivy education, I do know my ABC's. ;) My apologies for this, but I am going to leave it as such, since I don't want to accidentally muck with the sheets/calculations. Sorry if you had to search a bit for OVC teams you had used.

I've thought it would be easier to have one big alphabetized list of teams instead of having to stroll from conference to conference.

Well ****... didn't think the deadline was the Chatt-Illinois game, being a play up game. Better luck next year!

That sucks, but you get two weeks of losses before you're out.

Sorry to hear that. It is always an issue with whether or not to set the deadline to include Thu/Fri games. This is especially true for Week 1 and 2. Therefore, I just made a decision that it will always be the first qualifying game of the week (FCS v. FCS or FCS v. FBS).

I have often thought about simply making a Saturday deadline and excluding all Thu/Fri games throughout the season; however, I think there would be more of a stink about that then the early deadline. Also, the deadline is as such, because I simply don't have the time to keep track of which picks are in on time and which aren't and don't have the time (or even remember) to adjust the form to remove choices from games that have started. That is the reasoning for the deadline always being the start of the first game of the "weekend", and since this was a "qualifying" game (even if nobody was picking Chattanooga over Illinois), the deadline was this first game.

All the above said, you are still in the game (it is double-week elimination), AND you now have an 8 team advantage (teams available to pick for the remainder of the season) over all other players. Of course, this is negated somewhat by the fact that others could make up/distance some correct picks from you, but I think as the season goes on, this might even itself out. I am hopeful you will continue playing and comeback and show all of us your FCS knowledge.
