You are correct 7express!  Thanks....sorry Imade your job harder.  Go with Keene the home school.   Did they win?

I have no idea!  I don't look at the results until I do the results for the week  .  So I'll validate your post since I don't know the final anyways.

RI College 63 @ UMass-Boston 64
Bonus 1: Dartmouth 5-5, Plymouth 4-6, Keene 6-4.  1 team 1 Any Other Number 0
Bonus 2: Carolina 10 Denver 24. This is OT but I'd like to nominate Carolina for the worst 15-1 team ever.  Their out of division opponents were the NFC East (awful) and the AFC South (horrendous) and their division (NFC South) wasn't very good either.
Bonus 3: Second quarter 10 points 4th quarter 11 points.  Damn that useless and garbage 2 point conversion!  Like Carolina was really going to get the ball back again with less than 3 minutes to play!
Bonus 4: Defensive touchdown scored in 2nd quarter, missed field goal in 3rd quarter.

* our dear DMV friend posted these 2 messages regarding Saturday selections this week:

Now for the rest of the week picks.
For Tuesday....ALL the NESAC teams to win!
For Wednesday, Conn College.
For Sat......all the home teams in the crazy LEC.
No bonus....too complicated for my limited mind.

How can I go wrong in the latest picks?
Will go with both the high rollers.....in particular FC who picked WCSU over Conn last Wed....Therefore, take whatever Magic1 and FCGrizz are having .

Luckily for him I go with the first thing he posted, so he gets the Dartmouth win instead of the loss, though if Dartmouth had lost, he'd also get the loss there.  Maybe our friend thought Western was the home team  .  Also since he said in his original he wasn't taking any bonuses and Magic & Grizz differed in their bonus answers I couldn't give him any bonus points.
$ booyakasha failed to select picks for Saturday's games.  The lowest score on Saturday was 1-3, so that's what I gave them
^ Extra point added for the bonus 3 screwup from last week.  Since 7express and Warriorcat won the bonus, they got that point last week, everyone else picked it up this week.

As usual, check your totals!

7express....you are the Man!  Though I did not understand your explanation .
My picks....
For Wednesday...10th of Feb....will take Southern Maine, ECSU, Keene, and UM-Dartmouth.  Join the crowd.
For Sat.....will go with all the home teams like WPI89.  I will support his bonus picks whatever they are.  Us posters whose school teams loss on Sat need a group hug/support.
Checking out the weather for this coming weekend!  Planning to see my first live games in NE if the weather is ok.  After that, going South for awhile...only live games are ACC semi finals in Greensboro.
Life is getting a little complicated in my BB world these days...family first!

Really glad there isn't money riding on this pool. I kept up early on, but has become difficult in the later stages!

7express,

I think you missed the boat on Bonus #2. Unless I'm missing something.

Bonus #2 is a no brainer. There are presently 3 teams with a 6-4 record and 1 team with an 8-2 record. They can't possibly be worse than .500 even if they lose both games this week. So 4 or more is at least a tie and you can't possibly have more teams below .500. So why not just disregard it? If you give everybody a point it just helps the percentages for certain people. Best to just can it.

Late night math calculations aren't my friend.  oh well at least everyone gets a free point!

You miss my point. Rather than give everyone a free point, just eliminate it. A free point can be beneficial to some, even if everyone gets a free point, because your using percentages to determine your standings. The best thing to do since it's a useless bonus is to totally disregard it, like it never happened.

Wednesday:

Eastern Connecticut
Keene State
UMass-Dartmouth
