Here we go again. I will be running the contest again this year, thanks to the BeachRunners for handling it the last several seasons. The rules are pretty much as you remember them, pick winning teams straight up or, if there is a spread involved I will include the points too. Copy and past the slate into a response and highlight your favorites in bold. Picks due by kickoff. Whoever has the most points at the end of the conference championship games wins. We will do something different for bowls, if there is interest in it. No whining. Take smack talking to the NCAA Battlezone thread. I am going to include some preseason predictions good for end of season points that will be added onto your cumulative season total at the end of the season. Good luck and have fun!

Who wouldn't? I would go against my team and pick Florida myself.

So because anyone who picked GA with 14 and they won by 14, no one won the GA @ Mizzou game. Maybe you should consider non-integer point spreads, Skunky.

People who picked Missouri didn't win the point either or did they? Thinking they did.

Georgia covered the spread.

That's what I thought but Skunky said we would have to had a 15 pt spread for Georgia to win the point. Maybe it was 14.5.

Because the spread was 14, it means that Georgia gave Missouri 14 points. The actual score was 43-29. But because the pickems gave Mizzou 14 points, the SoWal score is 43-43, so a tie. Everyone won, or either everyone lost. It was never stated that ties go to the home team. The spread should not be an integer so that ties are impossible.

Understand now. Was a tie. Wish there were 14-15 games a week.

WEEK IV RESULTS

Controversy swirls regarding point spreads! BR says use integers, whatever those are. Sounds alot easier to simply give everyone credit for UGA/Missouri. Several people got high total for the week, which was eight correct picks.
