I am slowly climbing the ranks after that disastrous 0 pt. first week. Fitz, you're next on my list. Now all I need is for the contest to go on for another 541 weeks and I might have a chance!
You jumped 4 positions this week Kes.

I think it has something to do with your loyalty to ND and Texas. :? I'm loyal to Tennessee... I'm trying to buy a game by betting high points on the opposition. That isn't working either... but I'm not falling. :wink:
Sorry Kes, you just dropped a position. To get the 3 zeros to show so that all columns line up, I have to format that cell as text rather than number. Therefore the secondary sort criteria did not take into account that your dropped points were less than Sid's. You two were tied but he has higher dropped points. That is the first tie breaker for overall score that we decided on two years ago and have been using ever since.
You guys must be using darts to make your picks if you haven't passed me yet! I swear I'm CURSED! I cleverly pick hidden upsets... and NONE OF THEM come though. I hate Cal. Every time I pick them to lose, they win. If I pick them to win, they lose. HATEHATEHATE CAL!!
For some reason, Yahoo had the wrong score on the USC game. I calculated points giving credit for the USC win.

Many people had a bad week forcing them to make this week their dropped week. PJM joined the ranks of missed weeks. Terry joined the ranks of multiple missed weeks.

Two weeks left and only 86 points separate 1st and 10th.

Just took a look on CBS Sportsline. The last week of the contest, week 14, will have less than 20 games. Even if it starts on Thursday, there are only 15 games available. That makes this week's effort and your dropped week score all that more important.
That is why I said at the start that one dropped week makes no sense...it automatically makes the last week meaningless and doesn't help those who forget a week because all they get to recover is a 15 game week. Either no drops (so last week comes into play) or two drops (so everybody gets a grace week) would make sense. Just a thought for next year. :wink:
Won't get an argument from me. However, I think that the better answer would be to keep it at one week dropped and end the contest at week 13. Week 14 would still count toward "Yahoo trophies" but the actual Jaskewicz final results can be considered final at any week we pick. Good topic to put up as a poll for next year. The consistent 20 game weeks have been great so far. Hard to have a 20 game week in week 14 that doesn't even have a 20 game schedule. If we have all 15 games that are scheduled, that is a possibility of 120 points. That is higher than anyone's dropped points. A good week, if we do have 15 games can still be meaningful.
I blew it big time. I don't remember ever missing a week before and now I've missed two this year. Blah
Understood. However, Bear Down Rick and Florida Bucks are now first time zero week participants. Florida Bucks let this happen while sitting on top of the standings.
Maybe the zero week guys had the right idea! Almost everyone is bleeding to death in this weeks contest. LadyVol leads it at this point but PJ has the best chance to win this week.
