Where do you go to tell then you want group 711 ? I had to try 8 times to get them to let me in period now I can't find a group with numbers to ID.
Edit to add: I mean I'm ready to fight for the 14th place.

Currently 6-15 with 2 more losing. If there had been a line on ISU would have lost that too

I have to be the biggest, dumbest fool on this board. Since this is tell the truth Monday, I must confess.
I was so caught up in my picks and their weighted points, I completely overlooked taking into consideration the point spread.
For the life of me, I could not figure out why my OU pick (vs Tulane) was a loser. Once I looked at a few other picks, I realized the spread was in play (which I never considered).
Yep, I'm a dumbass!

LOL...

Something about blind squirrels and nuts. I guess I found a few this weekend. Pretty sure 17-9 isn’t sustainable. If it is, I need to head to a casino. Lol.

I didn't expect to be where I am - 5th place.
14-12, but picking confidence points is a roll of the dice for me.

Not to spit in anyone's face, but the point total from Week #2's "OFF" games is probably going to exceed most folks earned totals from Week #1. Something tells me you can make bank if you do well this week, as it is going to be a difficult week once past the obvious picks as the point spreads makes it dangerous, and with what, 35 games to pick? Might have to go with the "favorite mascot/favorite color" approach when picking this week, as my "thinking "surely doesn't add to the equation of picking the correct teams. If anything, it hurts me. Good luck! And, congrats to Toph for his Week #1 win.

Just an FYI it is set up to drop your lowest score of the season, so if you forget one week or can't make your picks one week you are not "out of it".

I don’t remember who picked Coastal Carolina with a confidence of 35, or whatever it is, but that was stealing one with all the “Off” games. I commend. And, that is my concern this week…the point spread. Going to make this week one big series of coin flips!

Almost a bad beat with KU threatening for the garbage backdoor TD with a min left in the game.

How do the OFF games work?
...and yes Toph, the backdoor was wide open. regardless if I had them picked or not, would have been terrible beat.

Kind of like easy points, I think. And yes they would have been a terrible beat. It was hilarious how the announcing team was joking about if they went for the FG instead of the TD how excruciating that would have been for the betting public.

He picks a team with a 25 point margin and steals points. Balls, I tell ya, really big balls! Or, he just got lucky.

I had a one point vote of confidence on the game and lost. Good thing it was only one point.

To me the confidence point selection is always a coin flip. One can have a losing record but if your winners are the ones with the highest confidence points - you would win.

Toph...You can go straight to hell! I mean if you take out the non spread games which were gimmes, I was only like 12-10. I’m headed to the beach this week with the family, so I’ll be lucky if I remember to make the picks. Haha.

They really should figure another way to handle the OFF games.
