    You are right. If Central Michigan wins, nobody can catch Dave. ... and if he were in the money contest, he would be guaranteed no worse than 3rd with a better chance at 1st than anyone.

    Congrats Dave.

    But the contest goes on....It's now a 4 horse race for 2nd place.


    One would think that Bryan and KP are no shitters for Bama....soooooo the only way I take 2nd is if I go the other way with TX along with GIPPER.

    Gipper gets 2nd all alone if I take Bama and they lose, once again assuming KP and Bryan go with Bama.

    So the real question is does AJ pledge a one game alligiance to the SEC or Jerry Jones' new bedmates that just happen to be in the B2 south division?

    AJ,
    It is a safe assumption that kp will stay with Alabama, so go for it. :)

    Don't know that going with the Horns is the smart move AJ.

    If you know which way KP and Bryan are going, you probably should go the same way that they do. That guarantees you a 2nd or 3rd place finish depending on what Gipper does. Going the opposite way, means a 2nd place if you win and a possible 5th place if you lose.

    I believe I went with the Horns.....but at a low value of 6 points.

    Just not sure about this one.

    You've already won, your current point total of 401 exceeds the potential point total of anybody below you. Congrats on the win. Hope you lose tonight though! :)

    Thanks Terry.....CMU sealed the deal for me.

    .....but don't you want me to get the extra 6 points if I have Texas?

    I don't want you to have Texas mainly! Having a SEC fan rooting for the Longhorns doesn't seem natural.

    Naaaahhhhh. At the start of this week I was in severe contention to win this thing. Taking teams from the southern hemisphere (below Kansas) cost me big time this week. Beside's, everybody I picked was the favorite or ranked Higher.....so I'm going with #2 this week to lock in 2nd place.

    Furthermore, It wouldn't be much fun not to give KP or Bryan a running chance now would it? :wink:

    Lastly, if TX beats Bama, that just gives a little bit more credentials to my Huskers this year.....helps out on Recruiting ya know.

    'HOOK 'EM HORNS BABY!!

    I already have braggin rights sewn up.

    I win either way tonight.

    If Bama falters and looks average vs. Texas and especially if McElroy and the offense revert back to earlier season form then my theory about Florida being out of sync in Atlanta will hold more water as I don't think for a NY minute that the Horns have a better defense than does Florida.

    If Bama flys up and down the field and scores a bunch of points....reducing Texas to rubble then the SEC will continue to reign supreme in any future debate here on Skybox.

    Can't go wrong either way. :wink:

    It's a B12 thing Doc, besides, the schools get to share more money this way.

    It's not personal, it's strictly buisiness. :lol:

    MCG,
    If Alabama wins by one point in a 49 to 48 fumblefest, you can celebrate anything you want to....except being the current National Champion. Personally, I don't care anything at all for moral victories.

    No moral victories here Kp.....Fla is second place forever in the SEC for 2009....and champions of only the Sugar Bowl. And it was a team effort that relegated them to that fate.

    I would say the same thing to you if the shoe was on the other foot so I compeletly understand.....no problem.
