The Undefeated and the Winless

FCGrizzliesGrad · November 15, 2011, 05:51:42 PM

If nobody else does it, I can run it. All you have to do is keep a list of who picked who and check occasionally if any are eliminated right? Can't be any harder than running a football confidence pick 'em can it?

Geez, the season starts today and someone finally remembered to resurrect this thread?!

If we're giving a pass for a few days on picks, I may do research and re-pick. Otherwise I'll do a quickie off-the-top-of-my-head selection of Amherst for undefeated (using the same logic as HF) and Oberlin for winless.

Throw me Crown on the winless side!

John Gleich · November 15, 2011, 07:39:42 PM

I'll take Rochester in the winful and Polytechnic in the winless.

I'm taking one of the teams I had last year. Middlebury to not lose and Oneonta State to not win.

I'll also keep score as I did most of it last year. I'll wait a couple of days and then list everybody's picks.

I'll take the Whitworth Pirates to be unbeaten and on the other side of the country I'll go Green Mountain Eagles to go winless

Green Mountain is up 12 at the half, hosting Albany Pharmacy. They might drop off the list in one game.

And Green Mountain held on to win 83-80 over Albany Pharmacy... I think I win the prize for quickest elimination

Green Mountain is pretty mercurial. A couple of years ago they won a few games, then those kids left and the granolas stayed around.

Sheesh. Are we still allowed to pick? Ill take macalester and augustana

Mr. Ypsi · November 15, 2011, 11:45:59 PM

Well, dodged the opening night bullet on my winless pick - one of Oberlin's 2 wins last season was Westminster; tonite Westminster beat Oberlin.

Gregory Sager · November 15, 2011, 11:55:35 PM

I'll take St. Mary's (MD) on the upside, Bard on the downside.

I picked UofR on the winning side before. I'll take Cazenovia on the losers.

hopefan · November 16, 2011, 07:17:06 AM

Give me Principia on the losing side and Rust on the winning...

Nope, Philadelphia Bible took out Polytechnic by almost 30 - game started at 2pm. First game of the season for d3 and I lost my winless pool pick.
