Fwiw, the regular season winner is 3rd worst after me. If there was ever doubt about the randomness of picking against the spread . . .

Re: College football
At least 13 Georgia players now out for Sugar Bowl, including six starters
I picked Georgia -7.5 > Baylor in both sets. This is now a good thing for me since my only money hope is being worst, but still . . .

Re: College football
The only game I cared about today was TX > UT, Austin hippies vs Mormons, a rout :thumbup: . Mon. was an aberration. I'm 2-3 in both my sets today. Still hanging on to last by 2 points and in a 2-way tie for 2nd worst.
1/1. Screw getting last, I care about 2 of the games.
Other than Wisconsin - Oregon I'm rooting for underdogs.

Georgia will be missing 13, maybe 14 players. Most are starters or #2 in depth

Gopher fans accept their loss early.
program that’s undefeated vs Alabama 27
program with a lot of loses vs Alabama 23
As almost always, I don't make predictions. Rather, I figure that the adjusted spread is better at that than I could ever be. So, when there's a spread I just pick my wishes.
Scanning the thread without actually counting I'm not sure that Gopher fans "mostly" picked Auburn, or that all of the people posting are really Gopher fans. Looks like there are some carpetbaggers like you
Yeah, I linked an article about that above. Since I don't like either team and since I'm now playing for worst, that's why I'm now rooting for Baylor.billy.pilgrim wrote: Wed Jan 01, 2020 11:31 amGeorgia will be missing 13, maybe 14 players. Most are starters or #2 in depth

Most likely those losses to Clemson contributed to Chizik no longer being at Auburn. You're welcome.
Malzahn sucks as a head coach too, Mickey Mouse can vouch for that.

Re: College football
Ducks by a point, wow, a Rose Bowl classic.
I'm now in a 2-way tie for worst and am in solo 2nd worst.
Go Baylor +7.5. It won't change my status, but it will keep others from narrowing the gap or even seizing worst.

Oh no, screwed by my own flawed wisdom. I go 2-2 and 3-1 on the day. I'm now in a 3-way tie for 2nd worst, and am in solo 5th worst.Vrede too wrote: Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:47 pmAt least 13 Georgia players now out for Sugar Bowl, including six starters

1-2:
Cincinnati -7 Boston College (2 points), 1500 ET. I split my picks. A Cincinnati win puts me back into a tie for worst, but I'm still okay with a Boston College win.
Tennessee -1.5 Indiana, 1900. I split my picks. I think a Tennessee win on top of the Cincinnati win then gives me solo worst.
