Thanks all, and thanks The P.I. for the payday. I feel like I should give a victory speech:
I got lucky. Thank you very much.

Congrats! only 50,000+ edged us out...

If you click on the "overall leaders" tab on the "home-
page", your actual rank compared to all in the Yahoo
contest is listed below your name.
If you followed the herd in your selections and just picked
by "% picked" or "favorite", you would have 19 of 34.
If you followed the "experts" (?), you would be 17 of 34.
Power ratings (3) averaged out to 20 of 34.
The best Yahoo picker "golden taint" (actual ID used)
was 30 of 34.
The best strategist (Big25) was 558 points with
28 of 34 correct.
It was a humbling experience and a great contest.
Until next year...

I thought it was funny until I realized that it's probably a slap at Golden Tate...

I did too...
I did too...
but the guy did get 30 of 34 right. In the original post I
failed to point out that the "overall leaders" tab was on
the "home" page. Sorry

Not a typo...
Not a typo...
Someone actually used that name and scored 30 of 34.
What I didn't point out in the original thread that
"overall leaders" was on the "home" page.

Here's a fun little pool you can do with your friends.........
Take all of the non-BCS bowl games, and draft teams. In other words, you establish a draft order amongst all of the people in the pool. Let's say you have the #1 pick......... you pick the team you think is the most absolute lock to win their game. That team is now off of the board, no one else can pick them. The #2 guy will take the next best bet, the #3 the next best, etc. Once all of them non-BCS teams have been picked, or there are not enough teams left to make everyone have the same number of picks, you move on to EVERYONE picking the BCS bowls against the spread. At the end of the bowl season, you tally up all of the wins and losses. You can all chip in and have cash awards, or you can do like we do. None of us is interested in taking the others' money, so we only have one award..........that award goes to the person who finished last. It's called "The Bob Davie Award", and the "winner" has to display an autographed photograph of Bob Davie, in a prominent place in their home (not on the back of a closet door or anything), until there is a new winner. The back side of the frame of the photograph lists all of the "winners", by year.
