BOWL-VIVOR GAME

[Doc]

You need to pick the SEC winners of bowl games in order of most confident of a win to least confident. You stay in until you miss. You do NOT need to pick in order of game played. You pick in order of most confident of the winner. The object is to stay in as long as possible. As long as your pick wins, you stay in. So if your first pick is UK and UK wins, you move to round 2. If your second pick is Auburn and Auburn wins, you move to round three. If your third pick is GA and GA loses, then you are OUT. After EACH GAME, place the number of points you believe the SEC team will win by. All those who are in at the latest round, whoever comes closest to number of points that the SEC won by in the games they picked (NOTE: those numbers may be different for each player because the games you picked may be different) will be the winner.

PM me your picks so that your selections will be secret. I'll post them all after kick off of the St Pete bowl on Dec 26 (I will post as players enter)

KY vs GT
MSU vs Miami (OH)
Vandy vs NC ST
aTm vs KS ST
SC vs S.FL
AR vs Va Tech
GA vs TCU
TN vs NEB
LSU vs UL
AL vs WASHINGTON
FL vs IOWA
AU vs OK

My picks are in.

[Doc]

as an example- If my picks are:


KY 15
MSU 15
Vandy 13
aTm 10
SC 7
AR 9
GA 5
TN 17
LSU 2
AL 16
FL 8
AU 9

If all SEC Teams won except for Arkansas, I would have made it to the 5th round and my number would have been 60. If the margin of victory in those 5 games have been 60 points and nobody gotten their first SIX selections correct, then I'd be the winner. If somebody gets the first 6 selections correct, I'm out.

I am out of breath reading all of that. It may be more than I am capable of doing.

[kingcat]

Doc, did you receive my PM last week?

[Catfan73]

Well that was fun lol!

[Darrell KSR]

I'm shocked I have Mississippi State up so high. Dumb of me. In my weekly ATS contest, I had Miami O very high and thought they'd win. Oh well, I'll take it.

[Doc]

Well that was fun lol!

You never know. Alabama might lose. That happens and you're the winner

[Catfan73]

C'mon U-Dub!

[catmanjack]

I am amazed that you are this confident in Washington.

[Catfan73]

I actually think Alabama will win but I think it's going to be a lot closer than everyone seems to think.

[catmanjack]

Just think Alabama is to big on the D and will best Washington up but Washington has a nice coach and he will have a trick or two up his sleeve as he did with Boise st.

[Doc]

Yeager got thru round three and Darrell has his first 2 correct with 3 pending.

Clearly Texas AM was the team that NAILED nearly everybody.

[catmanjack]

Disappointing bowl season for the SEC.

[Doc]

Yeager and Darrell both made it to round 3. Yeager's predicted winning margin was 37 and Darrells was also 37
Yeagers correct picks were AL, MSU and GA who won by 17, 1 and 8 = 26 so missed by 11
Darrells correct picks were AL, MSU and FL who won by 17, 1 and 27 = 47 so missed by 10

WINNER IS DARRELL

[Darrell KSR]

I thought there were some excellent picks by the KSR bunch--looks to me like most had figured out very well which SEC teams were most likely to lose, and bunched them toward the bottom.

[Yeager49]

Congratulations Darrell. I doesn't get much closer than that.
And thanks again, Doc, for doing this

[Darrell KSR]

Thanks, Yeager--indeed, it was the narrowest of margins!

[Doc]

Texas AM was the team that got everybody but Yeager.
