College Football pick'em 2017- Gameplay and scoring thread

[Santander]

The odds of Duke getting 2 wins from Army, Wake, and Georgia Tech are very low. However, Duke only needs 1 win to go bowling because they're usually one of the best APR teams, and there won't be enough 6-6 teams to fill the bowls.

-I'm picking the Convicts over the Catholics because now that my team is a dumpster fire the main (positive, unlike Bama imploding) thing I want to see for the year is Mark Richt playing/beating Georgia. They can certainly do it; Miami has a good run defense and if Rosier is disciplined (IE the team has a positive turnover margin) I think Miami wins this one and reaches the championship undefeated.

-If its bad weather, Michigan State will beat Ohio State (see: Penn State, Michigan) and if its sunny they'll be wiped off the face of the earth. As my forecaster (thanks DFW) tells me it's an under 50% chance of rain, it's gotta be Ohio State.

-To hell with Georgia. Go gettem Tigers.

-TCU loses 54-21 and Baker Mayfield goes on to win the heisman. Only facts here.

-At some point people are going to remember that Washington has 1 loss and will almost definitely make the playoff if they win out. I wonder when that will happen.

-Clemson's defensive front is going to do R-rated violence to FSU's offensive line. RIP Blackman. Fire Trickett (and Kelly and Dawsey and everyone else not named "Fisher" "Odell" or "Brewster")

I have literally never seem a college team fail so badly on shallow crossing routes before. This is low high school ball. I was literally yelling not to run the clinching play. Shame EMU was favoured by 2.

Congratulations Serious_Username  (aka Jerome Powell, I guess) on being the only person to pick North Carolina's victory over Pittsburgh.

Also apparently, I was the only person to predict Ohio's victory over Toldeo.

[#gravelgang #lessiglad]

Good pick with Ohio over Toedo, NYE! Toledo had been playing great (well, for a MAC team) all year.

Good pick with Ohio over Toedo, NYE! Toledo had been playing great (well, for a MAC team) all year.

The crux of my argument was that Ohio's win over Kansas was better than any win Toledo had.

Your pick of UNC over Pitt was also inspired. Pitt will need a miracle to go bowling now, with games against Virginia Tech and Miami(FL) left...I find it hard to believe they win one, let alone both.

Kansas is the second worst FBS team that Ohio has beaten all season. It would also rank as the second worst FBS victory for Toledo. (Kent State and Ball State, respectively though Nevada is close).

They're also a Power Five school, which are, with few exceptions (looking at you, Boise State), better than their non-power five rivals.

Ohio State flattening Michigan State...45-3 in the third quarter.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

https://www.masseyratings.com/cf/compare.htm

Here are 110 different rating systems that all put Kansas in the bottom 20 teams in FBS. Last I checked, even in the best case scenario, there are more than 20 P5 teams and in fact, if you want to say 'majority' of P5, there are more than 40 P5 teams!!

Can you please stop trolling and ruining everything I love about football?

Auburn dominating Georgia right now...they lead 23-7 in the third quarter, and they have the ball.
