2022 AGS Survival Pool, National Championship: NDSU vs. SDSU

[Chalupa Batman]

Just like last season, 3 people have made it through to the championship game. Unlike last season, all 3 people have one of the teams available to be able to make a valid pick! xlolx


Here's who's remains and what remaining teams they have picked.


caribbeanhen North Dakota State

grizband South Dakota State

KPSUL North Dakota State



Eliminated this week:

atthewbon Incarnate Word, North Dakota State, Jackson State

Catatonic Jackson State, North Dakota State, No Pick Made

crusader11 Jackson State, North Dakota State, Incarnate Word

Preferred Walk On Jackson State, South Dakota State, Montana State

[Chalupa Batman]

If NDSU wins grizband has won the contest this season, if SDSU wins caribbeanhen & KPSUL will tie. For a tiebreaker I will have you two message me your final score for this game (with SDSU winning of course).

Order of tiebreakers will be:

1. Closest to the sum of margin of victory AND total score (example: pick is SDSU 31-21, final is SDSU 21-20. Off by 9 on margin of victory, off by 11 on total score so off by 20 points total).
2. Closest to total score only.
3. Closest to margin of victory only.
4. I throw my hands up in the air and declare a co-champion!

Thanks again to everyone who participated and congratulations to the 3 players that made it to the championship game!

Sounds good, thanks for laying this out so clearly. What is the deadline for the C-Hen and I to PM our predicted scores to you ?

Oh yeah, good question. I'll say by Saturday January 7th at midnight. I'll then post the picks here the next morning before the game starts so you both know what they are.

Thanks for running this contest all season!

Rumor has it that KPSUL has a Caribbeanhen Voodoo doll that he used to poke me at various times throughout the years

This is gonna be a painful 3 weeks

Most everyone knew South Dakota state was the better team this year. I got sucked into that North Dakota state mistique and thought the jack rabbits would choke again and I was wrong

looks like you are the clear winner for this game KPSUL, Something you can tell your grandchildren about 😂

congratulations!

Thanks C-Hen, we need to wait for Chalupa to sober up after drowning his sorrows in Frisco last night, but my math also indicates that I eeked out a win by 2 points - but we we both missed the spread by a Dakota country mile.

Yep, I was going to wait for Chalupa before conceding as this his game, but I imagine he’s hungover from the Bison loss

This is a new kind of drink for all Bison fans to swallow

Some of them are Vikings fans, so they are used to it.
