The pick em contest

[MontereyLion]

fairgambit.....You and I ended up tied. I really messed up this pick em and the pick em for money. Had I stuck with my original picks, I would have tied this contest with 30 correct.....and won the other one. Like I said before I flipped a game mid contest, which I lost. Then I felt like I had to make it up. I ended up flipping 4 of my picks and lost all 4. Just goes to show you....stick with your original picks. Only 8 months until the next pick em. WE ARE....
BTW.....Thanks Tom for doing this Bowl Game Pick Em Contest....even in defeat it was fun. Congrats on your
victory.

Good stuff, Monterey.

FWIW, I'm still kicking myself for not checking my entries. I had Clemson the winner in the 1st round of the playoffs, but mistakenly clicked on Oklahoma. I didn't discover my mistake until after the game, when my score was 1 point less than what I expected.

Now I have to wait to see how the tiebreaker works to see whether Cruising or I come in 1st in the Bowl Pick'Em. There's a hyperlink in the standings for Tiebreaker Rules, but it doesn't take you to the rules.

Sorry to read that you flipped 4 games late while trying to make up for your previous flip. I don't think I've changed a selection in years. I've had games that I couldn't decide on until the day of the game, but once I make my pick I stick with it.

March Madness will be here in a few months. I haven't watched a college game this year, but hopefully I'll have some clue about the top teams by the time the tournament comes along.
