Picking opposite of OKAggie worked well for me on the final WTHCG pick

Thanks again for putting this together.

Call me Phil Mickelson. I think I finished second in bball last year too. Might have 4 or 5 second place finishes. If I got my Oregon pick in on time I'd have tied for first! But I was in Hong Kong without internet.

do you think it was Pick'em? I'd have to check my records - but we only started noting the winners within a couple after this board began

Reminder - 6 days to get your picks in!
only 7 entries so far.

You do not pick the CFP Final Game at this time - that pick is to be made between 2 Jan and 13 Jan.

Have you ever considered changing the picking format to a Google survey? Reddit does that for some games and I think it's great

I don't know how to do that, so it hasn't crossed my mind - something to keep in mind for next year if I have time to devote to this by then...

Final Reminder-
16 entries so far. 3rd page in the worksheet has a summary of picks and forecasted conference records based on majority pick

I will accept entries until noon Saturday, but no any of the earlier games must be picked before they kickoff.
