College Pick'em Week 9 - Friday game

[Edward]

Newcomers are welcome to play. Pick the winner of each game, and the winner and final score of the tiebreaker. As usual, feel free to nominate candidates for next week’s games. Weekly winners compete in the bowl playoff. And the Winner of the bowl playoff gets to be the gamemaster next year.

Get your picks in early - we have a Friday game this week. And after a couple of weeks of strong matchups, only two pair of ranked teams meet, with the games falling off fairly sharply after that.

I think you should stop providing the rankings. I recommend you make people do their own research.

You better hope I don't win the pool this year. I have all kinds of ideas that would make us do research to no end.

Research? You mean God doesn't give you a special revelation of who will win?

I think you should stop providing the rankings. I recommend you make people do their own research.

If serious opposition doesn't surface, I'll incorporate that. I'm already deleting standings from teams that don't feature top -25 matchups. I will still feature Top 25 matchups, but without the numbers.

By the way - does anybody have suggestions on how we account for the playoffs this year? I have several thoughts on the subject, but would solicit input since things are different this year.
