OK...Here is his way to score points...
Each week the Big Boyz pick the winners of an average of a dozen games. In a typical 12 game week, winners are chosen by placing between 1-12 points on a team (with no number being used twice). If that team wins, the winner receives the number of points placed on it. So, for example, in using this system, the prognosticator would place 12 points on the team he (or she) was most confidant of winning, 11 points on the second most confidant pick, down to a single point on the game that the picker thought was most in doubt. This eliminates most ties and places a premium on upset picks. It also values a picker's win/loss record relatively, thus giving little recognition to luck.

Here are the results thus far, all but 2 games are final. Tomorrow I'll tally everyone's points and repost, I guess that's how we want to do this. PM me if you have suggestions on how we want this run.

Ohio State beats Navy 12-9
Rutgers beats Dartmouth 13-9
Maryland beats Georgetown 14-5
Duke beats UMBC 11-8
UNC beats UMass 12-7

Cornell beats Hofstra 14-12

Games tomorrow:

I believe everyone participating this week has chosen Nova and ND but in varying point spreads. Again, I'll tally and post but PM me with suggestions on how we want this done.

Another season started, hooo ha :-) I"m excited.

Good job blckout, guess we know who to gun for.

So guys, do we want to keep this thread going or start a new thread for week 2?

Dan

[jmplax31]

We can do a new thread every week, and have a thread that has a sticky tracking our season results. Oh, and un-sticky this one.

Good idea
