Well I'm out. Arkansas screwed me over.

If you didn't pick R-Kansas in their opener we are all probably done for. I could see them losing every game left on their schedule.

Terry, looks like TA&M score was put in incorrectly. Couple of us picked them and showing they lost

Thanks. Corrected.

They were my week 1 pick. Looks 7 people picked them week for week 3, that's huge.

Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky were my first 3 picks.

Kentucky were my first 3 picks.

I suspect you didn't think they'd be this strong, eh? I certainly didn't.

Right now, it looks like UK is the team I'll use in week 12. Using Vandy in a few weeks should get rid of the "bad teams" in this pool.

 

[planomateo]

Definitely didnt expect this from KY.

I'm gonna review my worksheet to see what flexibility I have now given we're in week 4.

You stole my picks .....

That's the reason I chose to go week by week instead of the entire season at once. As example, going back to Kentucky...the week they play Mizzou on the road is definitely a Mizzou choice at this point. But, let's assume they lose Drew Lock. Is that one you take a chance on UK, on the road, since their (Mizzou) main playmaker isn't playing?

Thank goodness Vandy won. If they would have lost, a majority of the of the pickers would have been done.

I picked the entire season. Can't make any changes because the teams already chosen are no longer available to be chosen. And I am not referring to the teams already used.

 

[BamaFisher]

If you’ve already chosen all and want to change, just go through and pick the out of conference opponents on all the ones you can to free up a selectable team. Then run through and re-select new ones to shift around to get to the team you want. I too stupidly made all my selections and had to do this to reorganize. It’s definitely been fun so far and I was checking that Vanderbilt score like crazy on Saturday!

 

[TerryP]

@252BAMA, you may have to work backwards if @BamaFisher suggestion doesn't work easily. It should be easy...manage picks, unselect, save, and move on.

I made all my picks before week one. I'm tempted to make changes but I'm just going with my original gut instincts.
Adding in the bye week makes this so difficult.

 

[TUSKtimes]

It looks like there are going to be about 3 or 4 weeks where everyone is going to have to play a few pick em games to get to Atlanta. I see the Vandy game was a scare for a lot of us this week. I still say Arkansas is going to be the ruin of us all.

Glad I caught the hogs early in Game 1. They may not win another.

It's one of those pickem games that makes you think on certain weekends.

I'm guessing about 25% of those gone are the ones that forgot to pick. There were email notifications sent out--only choice through the software at this point.

(reminds me...)

I've got tough choices this weekend. Vandy, Auburn, Arkansas, and Ole Miss gone this weekend. I could take Georgia to stay alive.

 

[planomateo]

I put all my selections in at the beginning. I logged in to change them this past weekend, had LSU beating Ole Miss. I was going to flip it to TAMU, but that meant I had to change them later in the season to LSU. Opted to keep the pick.

Glad I caught the hogs early in Game 1. They may not win another.

Same here.
