NCAA Football: Pick The Dog - Week 7

twikoff · 11-01-09, 03:18 PM

Basically.. Each week, you will pick 3 teams ranked in the AP top 25 to lose.
You can pick a game with 2 ranked teams, as long as you are picking the lower ranked team to win.

If the team you picked loses, you will earn (26 - x) points based on their ranking. (example.. you pick #25 fresno state to lose to toledo, if toledo wins, you would earn 1 point (26 - 25).... or you pick #9 Alabama to lose to Arkansas, if Arkansas wins you would earn 17 points (26-9))
If you picked 2 ranked teams, you only earn the different between their rankings. (example, if you picked Florida State to beat Wake Forest and FSU wins the game, you would earn 6 points (24-18)).

There is NO PENALTY for an incorrect pick.

only SATURDAY games will be included.. and all submissions must be posted by 10am est on game day.. Any post that is received OR EDITED after 10am CST on game day, will not be accepted.

The game will run for 10 weeks and all points will be cumulative. If there is a tie at the end, we will use the 11th week to break that tie.

Here is the top 25 schedule of games for this week:

kenbuzz · 11-01-09, 06:21 PM

Twikoff: Shouldn't the Florida-Vandy game be worth 26?

twikoff · 11-01-09, 06:24 PM

nope.. 26-1=25

i use 26, because you have to get 1 pt for picking the #25 team correctly to lose

kenbuzz · 11-01-09, 06:42 PM

Ah, I'm used to "minus 26" for unranked teams that I forgot that 1 => 25. My bad.

See, I still don't know what I'm doing.

There are no lines yet for three of the games (in particular, UConn at Cincy), so my picks may change. But if I don't get around to thinking about college football this week - what with all the excitement of the World Series finally ending so I can stop timeshifting House and Fringe - here are my early picks:

The Ohio State University to pulverize Pennsylvania State
Stanford to overwhelm Oregon
Tulsa to harry Houston
