It turns out, I forgot all about this! Sorry about that! It's just one game to pick and two bonus questions.

There are 70 people in so far, so nice work with the short notice! Because of the late posting, there will be no reminder messages.

Thank you to all for participating! This has been a fun contest having over the century mark every round.

What was the points for the bonus questions again? I'm sitting in 3rd place but with a wide 29 point gap, methinks my only hope of winning is to pick EWU and hope for an upset. Am I correct?

Well I have no chance to win but I know I got three of three on this one right so there is that :D

[Southern Bison]

UpState Bison has been bragging about his lead since 6:30 this morning...put the AGS Playa badge on his profile already.

Same. It’s how you finish that matters, right?

When I get a pm from MTFan about it I surely will do that. Until then I wait for the word from the guy running it. I'm glad UB is smack talking it though. xlolx

I don't know the details on if you won Upstate but nice work if so.xthumbsupxxdrunkyx

Those in gold with a "z" next to their name are the ones who missed at least one round. In the final round 65 people picked NDSU. With the two bonus questions added, 23 total people had NDSU for all three correct picks. Congratulations to UpstateBison for taking down 1st place this season!

MTfan, thanks for doing this. Lots of work to keep up each week of the playoffs. It is really one of the highlights of the playoff season even if I have never won.xconfusedx

One thing though to maybe make it better and other folks can chime in if they have an idea. When it comes down to the final round, the outcome is pretty much decided for many folks. A lot of folks purposely picked EWU just because it was the only way to maybe win, or just didn't play it. I know you don't want to make it so anybody can win on the final game (why play all the other weeks then, I get it), but maybe adding a somewhat difficult specific bonus question, worth a few more points, would put it within reach of just a few more players? I don't know. Like I said, that is why we do it each week, but it usually becomes mathematically impossible for all but the top couple to even have a shot. Might be more exciting if more folks had a possibility to win. Not sure how that could be done fairly, but just bring it up to chew on.

In any event, thanks again!!!

I would like to change it up, but I'm thinking of going in a different direction. I almost did so this season, but decided not to at the last minute.

Next season once we get to the quarterfinals, I think people should make their picks through the championship game that week. That way you're not just picking QF, but also the SF and Final games. So, yes, you have to guess ahead, but that way you're not just getting desperate the final weekend. This keeps a little bit of the fun of filling out a bracket and also allows you to not have to worry about your picks during the SF and Final rounds.

[bonarae]

Thanks a lot MTfan4life for doing this on our behalf. xthumbsupx

On the other hand, can I do the pick'em specifically for the HBCUs and the Ivies? xchinscratchx (with my own twists)

[caribbeanhen]

Thank you MT fan ... The competition was a lot of fun and very well done!

Great job upState bison on the win

Mr Chicken, way to keep them millennials under your thumb!!!
Year after year after year you’re ranked near the top of these games Sir!

[BisonBacker]

With everything going on over the holidays I forgot to do this. I wasn't around much during the holidays and the long break before the championship...Damn. I was doing fairly well too.

Congrats Upstate. And Thanks for running this MTfan.
