2023 NCAA Pick 'Em Thread: Congrats to jaywalker72!

[Sec14Gator]

I have 10 picks this week going against the collective thinking, in some cases strongly. This may either be a big move up this week or knocking myself out for any end of season run.

Knocking yourself out? You guys are nuts. We pick somewhere around 250 games, and we're only 90 games in. There is tons of time for people to move up (or down) the leaderboard.

Assume the winner is around 58% and most are right at 50%. That is a 20 game difference and shows how difficult it is to make up ground if you slip 15+ games behind at about 40% of the season. It's the reason anyone who misses a week needs an nearly unbelievable run to get back in it. Theoretically possible, mathematically very unlikely.

The top 10 people right now are known chokers, they are likely to pick somewhere around 40% in the second half of the season.

I have been playing this ever since you started it and have never got more than 7 right. I take about 20 to 30 seconds to make my picks and am wrong more than right. I would be in shock to do any better.

That's difficult to believe. I'll bet if you just pick every home team you'd do better than that right off.

Maybe.

Remind me not to stand beside you in a lightning storm.

Dont worry, I will never be close to you. I have heard of the bugs and flesh infections that follow you but it still doesnt change the facts that I suck ass when it comes to choosing winners and losers. At least when its over I will not have contracted your illnesses.

Mario Cristobal with a major dumbass move declining that penalty against UNC to make it 2nd & 30 so it instead is 3rd & 20. Result? Next play TD pass to put UNC up 28-17. I knew that UNC pick over Miami was a lock.

It was my turn to forget to make my picks

Week 7: Detroitgator and SEC14gator paced the group with 11 out of 15. Year to date, jaywalker72 is still leading the group with 64.

I suck so bad at this I think not picking anything would improve my score.

 

[LaylaGator]

I waited til late in the week and then picked the board's unpopular choice on every game. It did improve my score, but not as much as I thought it would.
