RMN Bowl Pick 'Em Update: Today Could be the Day

PrintJust too many points.
Though the finish of the Toledo/Air Force was heartbreaking (if you are an Air Force fan), Air Force scoring the TD had already given them the cover. Of course, with all the TD's scored in the first half, the Over was darn near covered at the half. Had these teams kept it in check, we'd be over .500, but alas it was not to be. The Under in the UT/Cal game helped, but we still took a step back to 49.28% The question is, who did it help the most?
Well, the Coin Phlip has not been really on fire of late, but continues to hold its two game lead at the top, now rocking the 18-6 record. smbz5b kept pace, and is now joined at 16-8 by mizzou2396 and mac6uffin (who went 4-0 yesterday to make the jump). A HUGE group at 15-9 is just off the pace, but with all the games coming up, certainly within striking distance.
Our previous cellar-dwellers got hot, and a few new names now grace the bottom, as both wooderson and HHKB Chris currently sit at 7-17. At least Pat Forde was able to go nuts and sneak out of the basement while no one was looking.
As for today/tonight, two more games. The ND/FSU matchup seems to be pretty split on winner, with the slight edge to Florida State, but the Over/Under is really tilted. I am guessing not everyone read the post where it said the line of "3" was not actually correct :-) As for the nightcap, a Baylor cover would be enormous, while the Under seems to be the favorite on the other side. ND/FSU going over and Baylor covering should most certainly move us over .500 on the contest and may actually get us to .500 after 21,000 picks all-time. The pressure is ON!
As always, you can access your picks and all the totals (located at the bottom of the page) by clicking on this link.
Keep hoping for points in the ND/FSU game!

Nope.
I had looked at the schedule and realized after mizzou the only time i would watch again wasnt until January 2nd. A very poor bowl season.

I like college football.
There have been many a good game so far, unless you hate offense.
Never forget Wolf Island, or pie! #AHAMF, it's vaguely sordid.

I find that offensive.
And I like.

agreed. a crappy football game is still better than anything else that's on this time of year.
What do you have against the ring-tailed lemur?

Yes
Until the tU game got out of reach for Cal, then I watched a dvr of The Late Late Show.

there were some good college basketball games on last night
Plus, I’m willing to be that Shawshank was on TNT, either that or Law & Order.

Yeah, I watched the end of the Baylor game.
I guess I’m glad the won so it will help our sos. That could be our first loss.

I've spent my time reading
Or watching previously recorded TV with my daughter now that she’s home on break. Our Community marathon was way more interesting than any football game on last night.
diff'rent strokes, i guess.
how far away is your daughter when she’s not on break? she’s not a football fan?

that Air Force game was pretty incredible and interesting
a td in every quarter, kickoff return, pick 6, and TD on 4th down with 50 seconds remaining and then an attempt at a 2 point conversion for the win.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
the 2 aren't mutually exclusive though
since you had Community recorded. It was one of the more entertaining bowl games of the year so far.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
Last place, right on. Wooderson, I am going to out terrible you over the next 11 days!

Wait, I thought we were all getting the over for ND/FSU
This is crap (unless it hits the over anyway), you are ruining my picks (unless it hits the over anyway) I call foul (unless it hits the over anyway).
What is the over anyway?
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
The O/U was 48
I appended it to the original post about an hour after the contest went live…so it being wrong on the form should have only affected about 6 people total at the time :-)

Easily one of the top 10 movies Arnold put out between 2000 and 2010.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
by not giving me the automatic win
you aren’t being a very good best friend, The. Add to that the complete destruction of me a few days ago AND the tailgate bail, well, if I had feelings they would be hurt.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
Yeah, I was one of the six.
But, I sent you a note to change mine after you corrected the O/U. You didn’t change it so I’m not going to tell you which thread I sent the note in until l find out the score…………………………aw crap!

that is my bad...though it auto-popped over
It was changed on the data sheet, but did not come over…so it has been changed :-)

i'm enjoying the term "auto-popped."

Damn
Now I fear I will be all alone at the bottom after all scores are in.
1 point behind.

OT
Note to the contributors on RMN. It might be helpful to our new SEC friends to update the RMN guide to Columbia. I don’t think that has been updated for quite awhile. Some are already making plans to visit.

Split...
I believe somehow, we’ve picked the same number of game and over/under winners to this point, crazy, so the percentages are the same.
Winners – 49.28%, Losers – 50.72%
Finally had a good day and went 3-1 yesterday.
I think overall rock m will get above .500 when it is all over with. The picks get easier as we know more about the teams.

You and me both.
We are in a dead heat.
You can probably take me in style points from what I have read though

This year is begining to spiral outta control for me...
in the negative sense.
….on the bright side I’m having a Boulevard Pilsner before 3pm. Kinda balances out.

Nice

Holy crip. Anyone else watching this Baylor v Washington exhibition?
Is it a rule of the Alamo Bowl that every pass must be completed for 35 or more yards? Why don’t they just have safeties standing 40 yards deep for every play?
Never forget Wolf Island, or pie! #AHAMF, it's vaguely sordid.
I've seen like 3 tackles so far, and 493 misses.
Do they not even bother to do tackling drills at these schools?
