I'm going to lap the field on runners up.
(I did make money yesterday betting I'd be wrong on Northwestern St)

Huh...
I entered the leaderboard for Wednesday, but apparently forgot to actually POST it. Sorry about that! It's on the record now.
This is the leaderboard through Thursday night. No more wins last night, and none tonight, but lots of losses. We're getting down to the nitty gritty now.

Hoping this will all fit in one post. This shows possible wins remaining for each player. There's enough variation left in our remaining picks that no one is assured of an overall win yet.

Cool, that’s helpful. Thanks for compiling that.
Note for Big West: Hawai’i and Long Beach State are out, but not indicated by line-thru on chart.
My excel formatting doesn't come across when I post in here, so I had to edit the chart after I pasted it here. I missed adding the strike-throughs on the Big West games while making the changes. Rest assured those games ARE counted in the numerical totals, however.
I will try to edit that post.

It's cool. I certainly won't be critical of you effort, since you do a large % of the legwork for A-BM.
My annual role is basically: (1) Keep track of archive (2) Launch the thread (3) Make a bunch of horrid picks.
If I don't get some picks correct soon, I'll have to get an auto-bid simply to participate in our contest.
I'm not offended...I just feel dumb for missing it. As for the rest of your post...spot on!It's cool. I certainly won't be critical of you effort, since you do a large % of the legwork for A-BM.

Sad, but probably true...
