New Leaders in the 2nd week:

1. (Tie) Stop Breathin and Marco with 30 pts
2. Promethium 29pts
3. (Tie) Jagged and Schadenfreude 28pts
4. (Tie) FT, Harry, Rick Derris and Bitter Buffalo 27pts
Last Place: Z with 23pts

Way too early to even be encouraged by this, but it's better than being in last.

last week was a bloodbath

Derris had the best week going 10 of 18, while Stop Breathin failed to make any picks.

The rankings are now:
1. Marco 39
2. Promethium 38
3. Schadenfreude, Derris and Jagged 37
4. Bitter Buffalo 36
5. FT and Harry 35
6. Z 31
7. Stop Breathin 30

I angry. I didn't fail to make my picks. I submitted them, yahoo asked for my password on the next page, I put it in, and it took me back to the fantasy home page. I assumed my picks were in. Oh, well.

Looks like I'm going to be in first place this week.

Looks like I'm going to be in last place... dern point spreads.

Thought I should probably post the updated standings, after another crappy week.
I feel like I am winning a championship in a strike shortened year right now.

1. Promethium 72pts
2. Jagged 68pts
3. tie between Derris and Marco 67pts
5. Harry 65pts
6. Tie, Z, FT and Bitter Buffalo 64pts
9. Schadenfreude 63 pts
10. Stop Breathin 59 pts

So can someone explain to me the difference in Total points vs Group points?

This year each participant drops their worst weekly score for the season. So the total points are including every week and the group points reflect your actual score with your worst week discounted.

So the winner at the end is decided by only the Group points?

Is dropping the worst week from each team an option that is made by the manager of the league at the start?

I'm not complaining, just curious. Lord knows I need a week dropped.

Great, considering I had that one week when my picks didn't even register. I'm gonna have to go see where I am in group points now. Hadn't even paid attention to that.

I decided to drop a week this year after having individuals miss a week in years past. It allows all of us to have a mulligan without having to drop out of the contest for forgetfulness, technical glitches or just bad picks.

Anyone know why the scores/standings changed without games being played? Did the first week scores get dropped?

congrats to Marco for defending his title

I was within spitting distance there for a while but the last few weeks have been rough

Yep, congrats Dreaded.

I did pretty bad... it was that point spread thing.

Finished third, after being in the top two most of the year.
Damn conference championship week destroyed me, at least I improved my performance over last year.
Congrats Marco, although you'd probably give up the title to have UDUB win at least one game this year.

Thanks guys. That was a pretty tight race down the stretch.

I want to give special recognition to bbuffalo/Ybor Townie for his stunning performance in week 14---I wouldn't think it was possible to score a zero unless you forgot to make your picks.

And yeah, would've liked to see the Dub win one game. At least we're through with Ty. Not sure what to think about the Sarkisian hire. He can't do any worse than this year.

On to the NCAA BBall tourney pick'em

No. On to college football bowl pick 'em.

Congrats again, oh dreaded one.

How could I forget? Looking forward to it.

congrats... My ADD kicked in and missed two weeks of picking not to mention when I made picks that I was horrible. You da man.
