Pick 'em Postseason - New Format (All Players Welcome!)

by pack_fan on Dec 22, 2011 3:29 PM PST

In case you missed joe bob priddy's fanpost on the subject, joe has offered to act as the interim commissioner for the pick 'em postseason. The format is changing from the way it was during the rest of the year, and the details are below. Submit your picks here (if you already submitted them in the other thread, they're still good and you don't need to redo them here). All are welcome regardless of how you performed during the regular season.

What follows is joe bob's comment from the other thread with the format for the postseason, and the bowl games from which we will all be picking. Good luck!

okay. here's the deal.

first round open to anyone who wants to play. pick the winners of these fourteen games.

dec 26

independence bowl
north carolina vs missouri

dec 27

belk bowl
nc state vs louisville

dec 28

holiday bowl
cal vs texas

dec 29

champs sports bowl
florida state vs notre dame (this will be the tie-breaker game. pick a final score)

alamo bowl
baylor vs washington

dec 30

armed forces bowl
byu vs tulsa

new era pinstripe bowl
iowa st vs rutgers

music city bowl
wake forest vs mississippi st

insight bowl
iowa vs oklahoma

dec 31

meineke car care bowl
northwestern vs texas a&m

sun bowl
georgia tech vs utah

liberty bowl
cincinnati vs vanderbilt

kraft fight hunger bowl
illinois vs ucla

chick-fil-a bowl
virginia vs auburn

that will be round one. depending on how many players we have, half of them (plus one if needed to make an even number of players) will advance to round 2 and pick the winners of the bowl games played on january 2, 3 & 4. i’ll pare the field by half again and whoever is left will pick winners of the cotton bowl, compass bowl, godaddy.com bowl and the bcs nat’l championship game. whoever has the best record at the end of those four games will be the post-season champ. tie-breakers will apply. sound okay? we’ll only have a day in between rounds so i’ll post winners within a couple of hours from the end of the last game of the round. check to see if you make the cut and then make your picks for the next round. picks need to be in by the start of the first game of each round. i think this will work on short notice. no seeding, no head-to-head but a chance to play in a pick’em pool for a couple more weeks.

Hey guys

Sorry for not putting up the post-season pick em’ post. I’ve been very busy in the month of December and, simply put, did not have the time to even think about it, much less put together the full post. I was pretty much slammed with final exams and an increased workload with my job and completely forgot about the Pick Em’. I haven’t had the time to be able to stop by on the site and do pretty much anything so I hadn’t seen any of the Pick Em’ posts you guys were putting up.

Again, I’m very sorry for having just kind of dropped off for the post-season. The sad part is that it was looking like it was going to be very competitive if I remember correctly.
