Unlike Alabama’s treatment of the “Fighting” Irish, it was a close run thing. Mr./Ms. “Chitwood” should contact me (e-mail on the far right sidebar) regarding prize information.
Not a winner but I did a lot better this year since I figured out how confidence betting works.
At least you got your entry in on time.
Thanks to submitting mine at about halftime of the first bowl game, I ended up an entrant sans group.
Can’t run through all the group entries, but I wonder what the biggest commonest miss was. I’m guessing Florida/Louisville.
I’d agree with that. My biggest gaffe was giving a confidence rating to Kent State and a low one to Alabama. Flip those and I’d be pleased with me performance.
My bet against the Big 10 strategy worked like a charm though.
I’ll have to remember that strategy.
I also did much of the laziness thing, leaving picks in their ascending chronological order for confidence unless I had a reason to change them.
Makes me wonder what would happen if the default order of the games is randomized with every entry.
Browsing some of the entries, a lot of people had FLA over LOU as their highest-confidence pick (somewhat understandably).
Not sure why, but for me this was the lowest interest bowl season I can recall. It may have been that Ohio State, my beloved alma mater, was not involved. But then those sanctions saved me from watching the Buckeyes get humiliated by Alabama.
I was leading until New Years Day, where Michigan’s last-second loss really hurt. Fla/Louisville was a debacle and then my post-NYD picks stunk. Still, 9th place and 90th percentile isn’t too shabby.
