NCAA Picks 2008-2009: final results

Congratulations to Carl, who is this year’s winner! He has now won this contest two years in a row. We all need to step up our game next year.

Sara and rugbyfan tied for the best score in the final week. Since neither of them chose a winner or entered a score for the Game of the Week, I’m putting it to vote:

Who should win the final week of NCAA picks?

  • Sara (91%, 10 Votes)
  • rugbyfan (9%, 1 Votes)

Total Voters: 11

Thanks to everyone who played! I love running these contests because it makes me pay attention to games that I wouldn’t watch otherwise. I’m going to put together a separate bowls contest this week or next, and will let you know when it’s up.

  1. The eight of you who scored lower than me should be ashamed of yourselves. Inexcusable.

  2. Jen

    Inexcusable? I gave up one week, so there’s my excuse.


  3. Who are you, the Georgia defense?


  4. The Georgia defense usually just likes to give up for one half.


  5. Hey, how many total points were available? I.e. can we figure out what our record is against the spread?


  6. I predict the vig to profit cutoff was somewhere between Tony and me. The rest of youse? Vinny will be by to see you.


  7. There you go Ben. Good call Grift.


  8. I can’t believe I am winning this poll. It’s because y’all, too, wanted to see Tebow’s leg ripped off. Right?


  9. Thanks, Rusty! So, if I were betting like, $10/game, I’d have made $100 this season…


  10. How is the vote nine to one against me?


  11. Don’t know. I will tell you they all come from different IP addresses.


  12. [...] Wrapped up NCAA Picks. [...]
