NSBB Survival Football and College Football Pick'em

[NCCubFan]

Other two are still in, as one picked TB over DET, the other CIN over HOU :x

It was me that picked Tampa Bay.

After this week there will be at most two people remaining alive in Survival Football. One of the final three, Bender Bending Rodriguez, didn't get a pick in before the deadline and is therefore finished.

:( - I tried to do, but I couldn't log in in the library I was in. I'm going out with my head held high.

And it goes on another week. Barely. I really thought the Panthers were going to lose.

I thought they were too, but I'm glad they won (they're my third favorite team behind the Bears and the Colts). The Colts were my pick this week.

Pittsburgh loses.

 

GO SEAHAWKS!

 

Oh boy I've never won anything before, I'm excited!

I should have known better than to pick Pittsburgh with Big Ben out. :evil:

 

Regardless of the outcome tonight, I'll reset the league and a new contest will begin next week. I'll start a new thread for that and repost the sign-up info so if anybody missed the first contest but wants to join this time they can.

So if the Seahawks lose the pick 'em still ends?

Yes, because we'd both be eliminated. We'd be co-champions. This happened with one of the Survival contests I was in last year.

Doesn't look like it's going to matter, Seattle's up 4 scores with 12 mins left.

[rocket]

hooray

[NCCubFan]

BOO!

 

Actually I deserve to be eliminated for being stupid enough to pick Pittsburgh with Big Ben out.

[NCCubFan]

Thanks to Vance (the only other contestant who had a realistic chance of winning) failing to submit picks this past week, I now have a 13 game lead in the College Pick'em contest with only two weeks remaining. Vic-to-ry!

[Mark_R]

I swear, Yahoo is the most inept site ever. I couldn't submit a pick 4 HOURS BEFORE GAMETIME!?

 

What, do I "last minute knowledge" that is going to swing my pick one way or another?!

 

What a joke.

[NCCubFan]

I didn't think of this earlier, but Yahoo actually allows two deadline settings: five minutes before the first game of the week or five minutes before each game. I had the deadline set for five minutes before the first game of the week. I've now changed it to five minutes before each game. The difference is that, if you miss an early game, you can still submit picks (you'd just be charged with an incorrect pick for the early game you missed). I realize that doesn't do much good with so little time left this year, but I'll make sure to set it that way from the beginning next year.
