On the standings page I have 106 points and in the top 5 (#2 to be exact).  Just wondering if you made a typo.

No typos, bjvb, everything has been updated. :) That "new top 5" post was from the previous day. :wink:spfx30

Ok, I was down in San Diego for the Holiday bowl luncheon all day.  If you guys ever get a chance of getting to do whatever the teams do when they go to a bowl DO IT.  IMHO, schools love bowl games not only for the money (though most of it is for the money) but the bowl committees treat the teams like royalty.  Of course, I have only seen the San Diego bowls like this, but I am sure the other bowls try to do the same thing.  That's the only thing I like about this system, but I would still trade it in for a playoff.

Here is the current top 5

**Standings**
1. GamerForca - 212 pts (12-10)

I honestly never thought I'd even be close to obtaining the lead... ever. Wow. :shock:spfx30

That has to be an adding error on my part. Let me double check. :P

Looks like I was the only one who took Ole Miss.geaux321

Even though all but two people picked Texas to win, there were some major changes in the Top 5 (hell, the entire standings was shifted around) after the game:

**Standings**
1. spfx30 - 315 pts (17-15)
2. Steelers_86 - 309 pts (18-14)
3. geaux321 - 308 pts (16-16)

In an attempt to win the Pick'em? :P

not when you pick ou

Well, only two people were smart enough to pick Tulsa: spfx30 and sfgiantsfan8291. The only real change in the top 5 (or entire standings for that matter) is that spfx extended his lead by 6 points:

**Standings**
1. spfx30 - 321 pts (18-15)
2. Steelers_86 - 309 pts (18-15)
3. geaux321 - 308 pts (16-17)
4. GamerForca - 306 pts (16-17)
5. sith_acolyte15 - 305 pts (18-15)

No.

1. Tired of all this Big 12 sucks talk.
2. Tebow is totally a terrorist.
3. Texas beat OU, let them hand them their BS crown...OU fans will never stop hearing it from us. :twisted:

The 3 T's.

We already guessed that one. Apparently, he's just being a conference homer this time 'round.

**Final Standings**
1. Steelers_86 - 343 pts (19-15)
2. GamerForca - 328 pts (17-17)
3. geaux321 - 327 pts (17-17)
4. spfx30 - 321 pts (19-15)
5. CommanderShiro - 311 pts (15-19)

It's ironic, in 06-07 Florida wins the title, Steelers wins the Bowl Pick'em. In 08-09 Florida wins the title againk, and Steelers wins the Bowl Pick'em again. I'm making a rule right now: If Florida is playing for the Title, Steelers is automatically disqualified from the Pick'em. :P

We had 3 people get 19 games right this year: Steelers, spfx, and myself. While 2 people got 18 right: Bobbles and Espurs. Hopefully we can get a few more people to join in next year. I'd like to see this thing start growing. I want the headache of managing 25-30 people's picks. That just means we're very active.

Now hopefully Bob Stoops/OU's ineptitude in BCS games overshadows the Big Ten's. :P Yeah, not likely. :(

Again, thanks to everyone for playing, and congrats to Steelers for winning our Pick'em, as well as her team being the first two-time BCS champ.

I'm.. tired.. of.. finishing.. 2nd. :evil:GamerForca

Sorry I couldn't get 2 more points.

Man I screwed up hard this year....now who's up for ncaa basketball pick em' brackets? Not for a while though.razman55

Ya last year I remember I was doing bad but then I ended up coming 2nd place because I had most of the top picks like 7 out of the 8 and remember picking Kansas to win it all.

Yay!!!! I am the Tim Tebow of bowl pick 'ems!!!!!!!!!!Steelers_86

This isn't fair, your team won and you won:(

[QUOTE="Steelers_86"]Yay!!!! I am the Tim Tebow of bowl pick 'ems!!!!!!!!!!sfgiantsfan8291

Hence my banning her from any future Pick'ems that have Florida in the NCG.
