Well I'm a little late getting the tally together but everyone should have plenty of time to get their picks in.

For the championship round to avoid ties you will have to guess the TOTAL of points scored in the championship game. The only way to have the points scored matter is if you picked the winner correctly. That being said, it will be able to help you greatly if you do pick the winner. If you pick correctly, you start with a total of 10 points. Each point you are off by on the total points scored will deduct 0.5 points from the 10 you got from getting the winner correct. This will go all the way to negative points if you are off by more than 20 in your guess. So if you guessed a point total of 84 and there was only 75 points scored, you would get 5.5 points added to your score in our competition here. If we manage to have a tie at the end, the two tied for first will have to play Ro Sham Bo to see who wins the champions hat, which at the moment will be a YSU hat, but is very capable of changing.



I know in the opening week of the playoffs I said we would do against the spread and all that, but I decided that would get awkward to try to figure all those things combined and liked this better. So there. Standings to follow.

So if I understand that correctly, even though I am tied for first in standings someone below me (at 16 points for instance) could now pass me even if we both pick the correct championship game winner because he is closer to the total point score by 4 points (as each point the predicted score is off from the actual score is 0.5 points)? Or am I misunderstanding the points system and it is only playing into breaking up people tied with you for total points at the end and not giving you a boost at the last minute vs the rest of the field?

Thanks for all the work you do you wascally wabbit.

You win a cap from the school whose fanbase has the highest average point per fan score, and had to have a minimum of 3 fans participating for that school to qualify. That's what I'm keeping track of the fanbases for. And yes the fans who stopped picking still count towards your school.

So you're saying there's a chance?

James Madison vs. Youngstown State James Madison For all the...marbles? Tostitos? Whatever. Nobody makes a title game by accident, certainly not at this level. Both have some impressive wins, especially on the road for their semifinal successes, to get to Frisco. In the end, I think the Dukes have just a little too much firepower for the Penguins to keep up with. Of course, I did say that against EWU as well, but JMU has the defense to back it up this time.

Total points: 60

January 5th, 2017, 08:27 AM
The current line is JMU -7 1/2. Over/under 63.

I think if NDSU was here the line would be definitely double digits & probably 2 Tds.

I'm with JMU for lots of reasons, but I also think the line is cheap at 7 1/2 given they beat NDSU to get there.

JMU in a competitive game, but a slow death for the Penguins. 21-10 after 3 & 31-10 JMU wins.

Best bet is the under. I see both teams getting out slowly. Nervous/conservative to start.

Good luck to both teams.

The penguins have outscored their opponents in the 4th quarter all year. Just am FYI.

I guess when you mean all year you don't mean all games. I looked at the NDSU loss and the score said 7-0 NDSU in the 4th quarter.

You may want to check your opponents 4th quarter totals they are quite impressive except for the UNH game. They have an 148-87 4th quarter margin including the UNH hiccup.

It's not always just looking at your team. You should try to be balanced when analyzing a game & look at your opponent. I feel that the JMU offense will wear YSU down. I could be wrong, but I like my chances from what I've seen from both teams. I don't see the final score being indicative of a blowout, but it will look that way in the end.

Just my 2 cents. You don't see it that way because you only see YSU. I've watched a lot of JMU & some of YSU. Both deserving, but only 1 can win.

It should be JMU, but I get it you see only YSU in your analysis if you did any.

yeah. I'm definitely a Villanova fan 1st, CAA fan 2nd, FCS fan overall. I might have been the only guy outside of the Dakotas watching the season opener between NDSU-Chuck South.

So yeah. Given that order of my being a fan I have a lot to say about a lot of the FCS. I didn't know you can't post anything other than about Villanova. Where's that AGS stop sign that you think I ran?

It all comes down to some not all of you MVFC posters don't like anything other than something that blows smoke up your arses. I've admired the NDSU run in every post on here. I challenge you to find one where I didn't.

Now because my posted avatar is Villanova it prohibits me from chiming in on the other FCS teams? It's ok when I'm complimentary to NDSU over the years, but the minute you write anything about the mighty MVFC that doesn't sound superlative you guys come out of your hunting cabins with a ignorant vengeance.

Im not the only poster that has written this or thinks this way. It's ok. I'm a big boy. I call them as I see them. I have an experienced eye & believe it or not a fair sense when selecting the winners & losers.

No one attacks me when I picked NDSU to win over JMU. I think I picked 27-24. I was wrong, but since it was with the big bad MVFC nothing is written.

I saw JMU against Villanova. I saw them win 21-7 w/o Schnor for most of the game. I know how good Nova is as I saw them live for 13 games. They didn't have the offense to win games against 3 FCS playoff teams & Pitt. I also saw how IMHO how much more talented JMU was to SDSU. It was easy to see that JMU would give NDSU a game, but I never thought they would win in Fargo.

I cant see how the team that slayed the biggest FCS dragon is now going to have problems with YSU. Sorry I'm a FCS fan. You guys are the homers from where I sit. It was NDSU for 5 years. Now you have to decide between JMU & YSU. I choose the path that ticks off the gauntlet of biased MVFC fans. So be it. I can handle it.

It was quite evident if you watched the playoff games. JMU exposed their playoff opponents as not being quick enough at many key positions on the field. They had talented athletes all over the field that were just quicker & able to make plays.

Their DBs Moreland & Reynolds in particular had field days defending the slower receivers they were up against. (Villanova is guilty of falling in love with possession receiver types) JMU corners were tighter than a crab's ass to their man almost every play. Allowed them to stack the box & mitigate the smash mouth football teams have deployed successfully in recent years. Comfort in knowing their corners did t need much help from the safeties.

It was different with Houston at the helm. He brought toughness & intensity to that athleticism.

He stays there the rest of the CAA & FCS will have to up their game. You won't be able to put slow possession receivers on the field and expect to win.

So you're saying there's a chance?

James Madison vs. Youngstown State James Madison For all the...marbles? Tostitos? Whatever. Nobody makes a title game by accident, certainly not at this level. Both have some impressive wins, especially on the road for their semifinal successes, to get to Frisco. In the end, I think the Dukes have just a little too much firepower for the Penguins to keep up with. Of course, I did say that against EWU as well, but JMU has the defense to back it up this time.

Total points: 60

BIG shoutout to TheValleyRaider for being the only guy who did the point total right so I'm not forced to add every score. Much appreciated sir!

29) Lehigh98. 4.5
30) BisonTru: 1.5

As you can see the point total caused some movement in the standings up and down, which was the goal. Some people butches the point total and some people damn near nailed it, like our champion, Gangtackle, who was off by one point from the actual total. Another interesting stat is over 50% of participants went with JMU.

Gangtackle is the winner, and for the winner of the teams fans to decide his hat in descending order:

5) Lehigh: 10.5
4) SDSU: 13.1
3) NDSU: 13.92
2) ISUr: 14.65


1) YSU: 15.67

So you'll need to pm me where you want the hat sent Gangtackle.

In other news since dewey MEGA CHOKED in the last two rounds and I was fairly close with my total score and winner of the championship game, I came back to win the tiebreaker in the final round by one point. After an entire season of pics it came down to one point. Good game my man.

The hat you win is a YSU hat since their fans had the highest average score of the fanbases that had 3 or more fans picking. I wish it was a Jacks hat myself as well, but they won. I'm just glad it wasn't a bison hat, not sure I could live with buying something Bison.

Not sure what I have to do with the rust belt. No Delaware did not have enough people to qualify. I know you already are aware of this. All you needed to do was get one more fan of Delaware to make some picks. That's not a me problem, it's a you problem. Lehigh managed it. Any changes done to the rules were done before the event the rules change would effect happened. I'm not switching it at the last round so you feel good. You want to have the rules you want? Go do your own game then.

Need to have a brain bigger than a chicken to figure this out:D

Gang tackle won but the cap he wins is from Youngstown State as they had the highest average team standings. To be eligible to win a team needed so many fans from that team to pick.

Thumper correct me where I am wrong.

No you aren't understanding at all. This isn't difficult. The prize is a hat from an FCS school. Instead of it being of the school of the poster, instead I made it so the hat was from the team whose fans had the best overall performance. Now, to make it fair there had to be minimum qualifications or a two man team could easily smoke a group of ten or fifteen off of average. So THAT is what I mean by UD not qualifying. You had two posters. It had NOTHING to do with WHO won the competition, only with WHAT you won in the competition.

K then don't play next year. Good talk. If you wanna be an idiot go do it somewhere else.

I'm just for one more try. The number of posters from a team participating had nothing to do with qualifying to be able to win the competition. It had to do with said posters school being eligible to participate to be the prize given out. If you can't figure out the difference you legitimately need to see a specialist to help you with cognitive function. I know you are not stupid Chicken, so if you continue to try to push this point you can write it on a piece of paper, crumple it up, and shove it up your ****ing ass cause I don't give a ****.

I will try to explain this for Thumper one more time then I am done with this topic.

1. Anyone can/could have played the pick'em game (no minimum number of fans from a team required).
2. Individual picks were kept track of by Thumper.
3. Here is the tricky part so pay close attention.
4. The prize you win is a hat from the team that had the highest team average score with a minimum of 3 posters from a particular school. Since YSU had the highest team average score (see quote from Thumper below) that is the prize the gangtackle won (just 1 person to be crystal clear).



Team Standings:

YSU: 15.67
Lehigh: 14
NDSU: 13.89
SDSU: 13.4
ISUr: 12.5

If this isn't clear I am done. If you are just trying to be asshats then I really fell sorry for you as your life must suck that bad that you need to be a a-hole on a FCS football forum to a person that put together a pick'em challenge for FUN on his own time and own dime.

Congratulations Gangtackle on winning the pick'em.
