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.

Update 2:50 p.m.: I modified the final results to indicate W-L and ratio ATS. By my count, there were 238 total games. Next year, I’ll format all the results this way.





The eight of you who scored lower than me should be ashamed of yourselves. Inexcusable.
December 8th, 2008 at 9:40 amInexcusable? I gave up one week, so there’s my excuse.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:10 amWho are you, the Georgia defense?
December 8th, 2008 at 10:12 amThe Georgia defense usually just likes to give up for one half.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:16 amHey, how many total points were available? I.e. can we figure out what our record is against the spread?
December 8th, 2008 at 1:55 pmI predict the vig to profit cutoff was somewhere between Tony and me. The rest of youse? Vinny will be by to see you.
December 8th, 2008 at 2:19 pmThere you go Ben. Good call Grift.
December 8th, 2008 at 2:57 pmI can’t believe I am winning this poll. It’s because y’all, too, wanted to see Tebow’s leg ripped off. Right?
December 8th, 2008 at 3:22 pmThanks, Rusty! So, if I were betting like, $10/game, I’d have made $100 this season…
December 8th, 2008 at 3:42 pmHow is the vote nine to one against me?
December 8th, 2008 at 5:16 pmDon’t know. I will tell you they all come from different IP addresses.
