The Undefeated and the Winless

[David Collinge]

Did anyone pick Lancaster Bible for undefeated?  They destroyed Franklin & Marshall today, by 28.  There's nobody even close to that good on their schedule the rest of the way.

Wait a sec, didn't Lancaster Bible change their name? To Apex, or maybe Apogee? Or was it High Point?  No, wait, Sager just texted me, he says their new name is "Randolph Macon."

[Gregory Sager]

No, it's TGHIJGSTO!!!

Hey whatever their name is is doing very well at losing big in all of their games.

You can calls me Baptist Bible, or you can calls me Bible Baptist, or you can calls me the Defenders, or you can calls me Summit. But whatever you calls me, don't calls me a winner...yet!

Editors ALWAYS welcome!!!!

I feel kinda bad for wanting a team to keep losing.

We all do....Then human nature takes over and we keep hoping our chosen team loses until we win the contest. Then we hope they win all the rest of their games. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it

I worked out at the same fitness center with a guy who played on the team I chose in the past(Bard); didn't let him know that they were my choice in the winless half of the contest.

You're getting close to the explanation for why I chose OWU in both halves of this contest.

[Ralph Turner]

Is it too late to predict a winner?  (I really don't like singling out losing programs...)

If not, then UT-Dallas, currently 2-0.  (I have predicted them in previous seasons.)

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I feel kinda bad for wanting a team to keep losing.

See, you're looking at it all wrong.  I don't necessarily want my teams to keep winning or losing, I simply picked the teams I thought would win (or lose) the longest.  All the contest does is measure our predictive abilities.

You can (and should) root for your team to win (or lose) as much as you want; it's not like it'll have any bearing on the outcome.

I'm sorry, but I think it should be too late to be considered for the Grand Prize...

Some tough games to get by in the next several days:

For the undefeated:
Oswego St has Middlebury on 11/28
Hope vs Cornerstone  on 11/28
Ohio Wesleyan has Illinois Wesleyan on 11/28
Elmhurst has Benedictine on 11/25

of course there are other games, but those are ones that look tough...

It doesn't appear any of our loser candidates have an obvious win through the weekend...
