RMN Bowl Pick 'Em: The All-Time List is UPDATED

by The Beef on Jan 11, 2012 10:00 AM CST in Contests

I know, I know...I said yesterday I did not think I would get to it. I am all about underpromising and overdelivering, so the spreadsheet has now been updated. A few "short-comings" of the spreadsheet:

Unless you participated in each of the five years, I really have no way of knowing what year you started and what year is associated to what set of picks
I did not break the picks up between spread and O/U. Would that be nice? Sure. Will I ever do it? Very doubtful
I am sure there are still a few people with two screen names on here. If you are one of said people, please do reach out to me (again all more than likely) and I will do my best to get it corrected now.

So, feel free to peruse all the records at THIS LINK. In the meantime, here are some milestones to be aware of:

Best single-season record is 45-25, as shared by Bill C., golf2804, and jcmufan (who was a single season participant only)
Best two-year winning percentage belongs to Addison Walton at 57.14%
Best three-year winning percentage belongs to Country Cal and MarioVanPeeblesRepublicofChina at 53.57%
Best four-year winning percentage belongs to M7Tiger, who took it on the chin this year, but is still holding at 54.04%
Best five-year winning percentage now belongs to MU 1839, who overtook Bill C. and is now at 53.55%

Thanks again everyone for a great year!

Thanks again, it is always fun

one small nitipick. If you are going to ask questions in your post:

Dude. you gotta give me time to guess. If you’re gonna quiz me, you must insert a pause in there.

you asked the questions

Would that be nice? Sure. Will I ever do it? Very doubtful

There is a Mitch Hedberg joke:

This is what my friend said to me; he said, “Guess what I like? Mashed potatoes.” It’s like,“Dude. you gotta give me time to guess. If you’re gonna quiz me, you must insert a pause in there.”

So you see, what I did, oh nevermind.

nope

It was way funnier the way I did it. If there was one thing Mitch Hedberg was horrible at, it was his delivery.

he was one of the greats in standup

extremely funny dude. Worth checking out. He’s dead now, but he was an incredibly funny guy with amazing timing.

CoinFlip is gettting better every year.

Is it becoming self aware?

Thanks again, Beef...

I guess I wan’t the only one that forgot there was a third co-champion with 45 wins last season : )

I nicely fell back to the pack this year.

Well son of a gun...there you are

you probably have the second best winning percentage of any multi-year entrant…but Addison has been pretty amazing in two years for never really being a leader.

Sorry about the miss :-)

Thanks, Beef, for all the hard work . . .

. . . maybe next year we will get over 200 participants.

Bowl picks sure are a challenge, with some teams playing like there is no tomorrow (which makes sense, since they would be right) and others seemingly just along for the experience.

Nevertheless, it is always a challenge, and great fun. Thanks, again.

57-54-9 . . . get used to it, jaybirds; and let us know when you want us to make it worse. Go Mizzou!
