So have you hedged at all? Any South Carolina or Georgia tickets in your pocket?

**ArunSh** · 12-29-16, 07:10 PM

Well looks like I will be 1-4 with the 3*, 0-1 with 2*, and 0-1 with 1*, seems like I have a good chance at last place - go me! But hey, $500 is something, I won't complain even if it's rather sad how every year I wind by the middle rooting for myself to get last and never first

**MalikHusam** · 12-30-16, 04:57 AM

need 7 in a row

Unfortunately, no. Should've played South Carolina.

There's still time to play Georgia at the half.

Tennessee winning by 4-19 points would be a perfect gift. Happy New Year, me!

**SnakesPicks** · 12-30-16, 06:43 PM

Wow, down to only 5 guys who can get a score of 30 or more. Mint Picks has the most possible points left, 33.

**astrodomer** · 12-30-16, 07:15 PM

I aint gonna lie Im checking these standings after every game! I want it bad.... thing is your gonna have to have the lead... cuz bama is gonna crush whoever they play

**Igor_1965** · 12-30-16, 07:24 PM

Good time to bet AF at halftime

**Igor_1965** · 12-31-16, 01:34 PM

23-6 and it's only getting worse for the Heisman trophy winner. Hasn't anyone bet LSU in the contest?

**mintpicks79** · 12-31-16, 10:05 PM

Ive enjoyed this contest. Thank you SBR!

**astrodomer** · 01-01-17, 03:06 AM

Heartbreak city today, its true, one bad day can lose it for ya... lost all 3 of my picks today... I had hit all 4 of my 3s dropped my last 3 today a two and a one... I must say though.. it has been fun competing and I will be happy for whoever wins it

**Cuse0323** · 01-01-17, 11:03 PM

Damn, so close to being the only one with all losers on all of my 3* picks.

**Igor_1965** · 01-02-17, 06:42 AM

I have a question regarding the final 4* pick on Alabama-Clemson game.

Are edits allowed?
What is the deadline to edit and/or post?
Are picks posted on the public thread for all to see or hidden like they are in BTP?

**Igor_1965** · 01-02-17, 11:44 AM

Hi Genie, can you confirm there is no 'official thread collecting the final pick' and instead I am to submit the said pick through PM?

I have just received a PM from SBR Forum asking to reply with my pick and tiebreaker. Confusing!

Correct, the picks are not public. We've sent the PM this morning. Also this is stated in the official picks thread.

Best of luck.

We will collect the mandatory 16th and final pick for the Championship game on Monday January 2. We will send a PM to each entry / team captain collecting the pick. The final pick is due by Friday January 6 at 11:59PM ET. A tiebreaker of total points will also be collected, see original thread for details.

**Igor_1965** · 01-02-17, 03:00 PM

Thanks for clarifying this. It makes perfect sense to keep all picks secret and then publish before the game kicks off.

Kudos, SBR!

**astrodomer** · 01-02-17, 03:54 PM

Well crapolllaaaaaa after looking so good early, Christmas is officially over for me!! lol... dropping games like flies now.........should have played for last

**mintpicks79** · 01-02-17, 04:28 PM

WIsconsin -7.5 was graded a loss for me and others. Should be a win . Please and thank you

SBR probably couldn't believe the missed extra point on the backdoor cover either. lol. Was a lucky break for some in the contest.

**mintpicks79** · 01-02-17, 04:39 PM

yes i did more than one fist pump

**unde0087** · 01-02-17, 06:04 PM

I should have 15, my 3 star on Wisconsin play is graded as a loss and they won by 8

**brooks85** · 01-02-17, 08:16 PM

^yeah, same here. I was wondering what happened to my team score but that's it so it's all good.

Should be fixed in a moment. Thanks!

**Alfa1234** · 01-03-17, 04:22 AM

Great contest SBR!
I'm hoping for a top 3 spot...let's hope the last pick is a win.

**brooks85** · 01-03-17, 08:55 AM

now for the dart throwing part of the contest, making an over weighted pick you don't want to make!

Exactly my thoughts.

**no1here** · 01-03-17, 10:19 AM

funny thing is most are on Clemson

**brooks85** · 01-03-17, 10:23 AM

I think most people would agree if they were in the top 3 and will when they are one year. 4 unit is great for everyone else tho.

after 15 skillful picks, 21 teams(not counting current 1-7th place teams*) can still place as low as 7th place which is a solid prize. 30% of the contest is still alive and even more counting current teams in the money. However, a good chunk of them would need need a crazy amount of luck to move up into the money. Everyone above them taking the other side and losing.

**Alfa1234** · 01-03-17, 12:46 PM

Yes, not complaining. It keeps it interesting, just adds a huge luck factor to the contest and in my case I'd rather avoid that now but I knew the rules before entering.

**brooks85** · 01-03-17, 01:02 PM

still the best bowl contest on the web

Are you going below the entries that have 19 or more or further down? How did you get the 21 who can place as low as 7th after the national championship game pick? It's only 7 places
