Week 11 Pick'M

[FallingRun84]

I am not much for applying the transitive property on football games, but it is difficult not to review last week's games and have a good feeling about our record going forward. However, HCNB's teams generally don't quit.

Based on the results of the earlier games, it's going to be a rough Pick 'Em week. ☹️

Chris hit the nail on the head. Much like Neal Brown and the Mountaineers, our picks this week were mostly a game or two over .500. Generally, my Sunday morning during football season is getting up and fixing myself a nice cup of coffee and checking the late scores to finalize the tally for the week. I didn't see the second half of the BYU/Utah game, but BYU looked bad when I feel asleep at halftime. They must have made a great comeback to pull out the W.

That game is going to set the trend for the Big XII for the playoff hunt to get more than 1 spot in the 12 team set up this year. After Miami put in a dismal performance against GT, the ACC may only get the one spot assigned to the conference champs as Pitt also crapped the bed against UVA. It probably cost them a spot in the CCG. The Big XII is shaping up for a BYU/Colorado CCG after ISU also blew their chance. We better hope Colorado wins out, otherwise the Big XII is also poised for a single invite to the playoffs. Can you imagine? Eight or Nine teams from the B1G and SEC and one ACC, one Big XII and one at-large G5!

Anyway, enough speculation. All I know is that the Mountaineers need to win out as well to keep the villagers and their pitchforks in the barn and not out in the streets. It's still possible, we'll see. So congrats to @WV Cooler for winning the tie-breaker with 13 correct picks and 57 points with a WVU win! Here's the rest of the numbers:

PLAYER NAME	CORRECT WEEK #11	CORRECTYTD	YTD/WIN %
FALLRUN	13	155	64.85%
EXPAT	13	152	63.60%
CHRISWV	11	151	63.18%
WVCOOLER	13	159	66.53%
WESTBGVA	11	146	61.09%
