Curious... MHSooner was awarded a NO PRIZE for winning ALL 4 of his "Mulligan Stretch Run" picks. I had the 3 SU's and BYU covering against OSU (just missing a Quad Crown ). So should I have 1 more NO PRIZE with a chance to dethrone CCM or no? Not a big deal just checking.
Just for clarity's sake, I didn't have 3 s/u winners or win a triple crown this week. I had 2 s/ups (missed the 3rd by WF throwing an interception in the end zone, alas). You show me above having 3 s/ups for a triple crown (incorrect) and also 2 s/ups for an H&H (correct), so maybe just wrote my name instead of someone else's on the triple crown part, perhaps? After Week 12 I had 8 No-Prizes and 20 s/ups, and the list above shows 8 and 22, so the totals for the year are correct, just not the description of the weekly results.
Really appreciate all you do on this contest Chinaman. I would have to hire somebody to keep it all straight if I was in charge of it.

...congrats 'hombre on the Triple Crown!
For the Last time in 2023...

ALABAMA+6 VS. GEORGIA
MIAMI(OH)+7.5 VS. TOLEDO
When you started this contest I told you I wasn't any good at picking parley cards and had learned my lesson with my local bookie. I'm still not any good, just look how many years it took me to hit the T.C. At least I didn't have any money on it.
On our yearly mano battle, it seems like it's taken a back seat to the Tag Team contest and that's okay with me. I wish we would have kept a running number on wins and losses including the Bowl pic'ems. I would say we are about even would be my guess.
It's been fun and hopefully goes on for several more years.
i'VE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND POST THE FCS GAMES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
(They're in the 2nd round of their playoffs.)
I'm likely to include some of them next Fall, so here they are.
I'll score them and total them just exactly like the FBS Games.
There are 8 Games to pick from.
They're posted between the Standings and the regular WEEK 14 Games. Always tossing in tweaks and twists here and there.
Gotta keep it intersting!
Miami (Oh) +7.5 vs Toledo
SMU +5.5 vs Tulane
Bama +6 vs Georgia
L'ville +2.5 vs FL St
