College Pick 'EM - Week 13

The results from last week are in and it looks like it is going down to the last week.The point standings so far: Billy -59*
Roach - 57*
Roy and Heath - 54*

*Note this is without the lowest score drops. The differentials are the same as w/ the drops, except for it bumps Heath up 4 points to be tied w/ Roy. I have used the drop system now several times (in my poker tournament series and now this) and I'm convinced now that it sucks. In the long run, it's more exciting to not drop points, as the drops ALWAYS screws the person who is consistent.

So its anyones ballgame. Here is the last full week of picks. Be sure to pick them before Turkey day.

  1. But in the scores you list you also have Heath and Roy tied.

  3. The scores above are with no drops.

    Here are the scores dropping the lowest from each 'system':
    Billy 49
    Roach 47
    Roy 44
    Heath 40

    As you can see, the difference from Billy, me and Roy are the same, but Heath takes a hit b/c of the drops. Yet Heath has been the most consistent picker all season, getting about 50% overall, where everyone else has had a bad week that we get to drop. The drops hurt your points, no matter what. It's not even convenient for if you miss a week, b/c your just dropping 0 points from your total, but it makes another person who has had a good year, take away possibly a 5 or 6 point week from them. It's a very flawed system.
