College Bowl Pick'Em Final Championship

[toddpedlar]

I posted this on the end of another thread, but this deserves its own thread.

I have just calculated winners for all weeks where no winner was announced. Here they are:


Week Winner
1 Edward
2 Frosty
3 Green Baggins
4 Edward
5 Edward
6 Green Baggins
7 Sola Scriptura
8 Bill the Baptist
9 Sola Scriptura
10 Kainos01
11 Kainos01
12 Edward
13 Backwoods Presbyterian
14 Sola Scriptura
15 Backwoods Presbyterian




So the competitors in the final (for next year's league commissioner's hat) are:


Edward
Frosty
Green Baggins
Sola Scriptura
Bill the Baptist
Kainos01
Backwoods Presbyterian


Here are the rules that Edward proposed:

A shootout for whoever wants next year - and a disqualification of me.

It's a new game with the championship, so the meaningless bowls don't count. I did want to put up the semis, but....

SO

Winner take all:

Championship game winner

First tiebreaker - final score

Second tie breaker - halftime score

Third tiebreaker

North Dakota State vs. Illinois State*
NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Second tie breaker - halftime score - 24-14


Third tiebreaker


North Dakota State vs. Illinois State*
NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

May the best man win!

Thanks. As I noted on the other thread, I'm disqualifying myself. Don't want to risk winning again.

 

[Frosty]

13-10

North Dakota State

No fair, Ben! I wanted to be the one to call Ohio State. Take it back!

Just kidding.

I'm still doing my prognosticating... but I think I foresee Ohio State winning, but Oregon up at Halftime.

 

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

My wife is from Cincy and is a huge Buckeye fan...have little choice in the matter.

 

[Edward]

I'm still doing my prognosticating.

Remember the Championship game in suburban Dallas has a noon Saturday kickoff time.

 

[SolaScriptura]

Ok, ok...

I've decided that despite my desire for Ohio St. to win... I don't think it's going to happen. Oregon's offense is simply too high-scoring.

In the end, I think Oregon is going to win... So my proposed final score: 42-28

Halftime: Oregon up 28-10.

Finally, I believe N Dakota St. will prevail over Illinois St. Though from what I've read it should be a good game. There you have it... my prognostication. Only time will tell if I was endowed with insight... or if I was just drinking too much Hefeweizen!

 

[Edward]

or if I was just drinking too much Hefeweizen!

Just stay away from the Kölsch. Nasty, bitter stuff.

If you tune in at noon on Saturday, you will be sorely disappointed since the game is not until Monday,

The ND St. game is on Sat...

Ah, I see. Not sure that I would refer to that game ad "the" championship game, but I digress.

You have the football Championship Subdivision which ends in THE Division I football Championship game in Frisco, Texas on Saturday. FCS Championship Home | NCAA.com

Then you have the Football Bowl Subdivision which ends in an upstart playoff bowl in Arlington Texas. The teams for that one seem to have been selected by picking the best team, the one with the most FBS bowl appearances, the one with the most FBS bowl wins, and last year's winner, which all makes some sense, but wasn't the announced criteria.

 

[SolaScriptura]

Wow... the ND State/IL State game was pretty good!

 

[SolaScriptura]

Well, I got the score pretty close... just happened that I had the teams wrong.

I wanted OSU to win, but I didn't think they could do it. But Ben was the true believer. Congrats, Ben!
