Quick glance but it looks like the only ones who can win based on what is left are Tiernan , me, goon and fat hobbit.

I need Toledo and Tiernan needs Arkansas St and we both need Oregon to win.

Goon probably sitting best as he looks like he's going to get the 5 point bonus on teams scoring 50+.......Tiernan and I need a 52-51 game and 1 more team to get 50.....so he doesn't pass us both.

Fat Hobbit has OSU to gain 7 points on all of us. There might be a scenario for Hits as well.

While I would love to be crowned "The Smartest CFB Mofo on the OC"...I'll sacrifice that honor for a Buckeye win.

Ancient history Skippy...who's leading your pool? I'll let facts speak for themselves...oh I'm gonna revel in this. Especially since loudmouths like S&L, COA, Pick 6, Lowry, like_that, sleeper etc etc didn't have the balls to put their football knowledge on the line against big-time competition. Spineless cowards.

You do understand that Goonx19 is going to pass you if Oregon wins....right guru?

...oh sure if you count the "***** bonus" you put in - that shoulda been a tie breaker not "bonus"...the purity of picking "winners" is what separates true CFB aficionados from the purely lucky ass stabbers that pull a "bonus" out of their butt. Oh you can count on it if I have the most points I'll be claiming the crown.

If you were a guru you wouldn't have had a shitty ass guess of so many teams scoring 50.

You had your lucky ass stab with Houston .....shall I take that away?

count the winning pick points on the scoreboard at the end of the games and we'll see who the true winner is Spanky...hell it might be you and you can claim it but Goon winning with the "bonus" is just lame and you know I'm right...like I always am.

If you want to throw out some of the scoring system then you have to throw it all out. I'm pretty certain I picked more games correctly than you did. I led from the start. You didn't move up until you started getting high pointers in the late rounds.

Oh come on Gooney who gives a fuck who picked the NW Prarie State vs Central Coastal Carolina / Tuffy Muffler Bowl winner? The big games are what matters and I dominated THOSE games. But Congrats on picking the "doesn't mean a FKG thing" bonus.

Me, Goon, Tiernan and until the last couple days Firestonefan had the most consistent success of picking.

I did well early on in the smaller ones because I felt like I had a good grasp on this smaller school as I just followed/compared them so much and their outcomes compared to Marshall. I became very familiar with several of those teams.

Damn, the way Tiernan is moving the bar of his "I'm the smartest!" argument just so he can be 'right' makes me think he must be Foot's brother.

I think the scoring system was pretty clear from the beginning to anyone with a brain. Count me in the group who doesn't see the need to change anything now.

And as Tiernan (the Mark May of the chatter) was doubting the B1G/buckeyes all year, I would enjoy it if he lost because they won.

There is nothing to change....It was my game and my doing and I set it up for 100 points and added an OSU option to gain an extra 4 points (I think only 2 believed OSU would score as many as they did on the mighty Bama.

The 5 point bonus was just a fun add to give some an extra rooting purpose. It's killing me because so many teams have reached 45-49 points and didn't try to score more because there wasn't any need. A couple people chose 0 teams to reach 50 (including the ESPN person) and we had numbers of 12-18 guessed by others.

I'm not asking you to change anything...unlike Pick 6, I read the fine print before I enter into a pool or bet...I knew about the lame bonus, I just choose to yank your panties about it because that's what I do.

Ironman can you let me know if I have a shot at the "How many teams will score 50+ points" Like do you have to use the +/- 2? Cause if not I might have a shot at getting that one right! Sucks I can't win since Goon also picked Oregon but would be awesome to still beat Tiernan.

+/- 2 is what it is....your guess of 5 guarantees you getting the 5 point bonus....but Me, Goon and Tiernan all have Oregon and only Goon can get the bonus unless both OSU and Oregon score 50+

If OSU wins FatHobbit is going to beat me and Tiernan by 1.....but he needs neither team to score 50 or he won't pass Goon. Goon needs 1 team to score 50 but not both if OSU wins for him to win.

Ah damnit. Guess I'm pretty much stuck. O well I gave it a good run missed too many of the easy ones.
