Who’s up for one last college try? 🙂
I thought we’d try something a little different this holiday season. A Bowl Edition of PPPPP, with a few added twists.
First up, a selection of games with ranked teams playing games starting Wed. 12-26. But there’s a catch…..
This time you will have to pick 2 games where #1 Alabama plays #4 Oklahoma and #2 Clemson plays #3 Notre Dame. Pick the winner of these games and then pencil them in for the last game finale, which will be the winners playing for the National Championship. Tell me who wins, with the tie breaker being the final score. And remember, even if you get 1 or no teams right for the title game, you still need to pick the final score, as it will remain the tie breaker. Do well enough in the first part and you might be able to win without getting the title game correct.
How’s that for a wrench in the gears. 🙂
Get your guesses in by 12-26-18 at 12:00 noon.

I guess using my name makes sense since there isn’t a tongue twister with AJ in it.
Here goes-
Boise
WVU
ISU (Long shot, I know, but gotta go with family ties)
Michigan
Clemson
Oklahoma (another long shot)
Central Florida (They should have been #4. A win in this game will prove they belong in the championship tier.)
Mizzou (of course)
Penn St
Washington (I’m more of a PAC 12 guy)
Georgia
National Championship: Clemson over Oklahoma 45 – 35

So, AJ, are you going to keep track of the players this time?

I’ll post an update 1-4-19 after I come back from VA and all but the Championship Game are played, so folks can see where they’re at heading into it.

Well, it looks like half of my final pick is going, unless ND can make a major comeback in the last quarter.

OK,
The first game was a wash. Literally, cancelled due to weather. So everyone gets a zero. 🙂
Then in order of posting……
4 for me. Booooo! 😦
Peter has 1, but if Clemson wins he’ll get to 2.
Chas has 7, and both the tiebreaker teams correct, so it could be 8.
Tychicus also has 7, and both the tiebreaker teams, so again, could be 8 as well.
This will be decided by the final score tiebreaker. 🙂

Ooooops.
Actually the tie breaker won’t decide it. I thought you both picked Clemson, but Tychicus has Clemson and you have “Bama, so it will be decided by who wins, not the tie breaker.

Tychicus is the man. 🙂
