[DirtyJohns97]

Thank you for putting this together @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Should be a few 5-0 records after week 1.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Does anybody have two teams that play each other?

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Does anybody have two teams that play each other?

I have two. Oklahoma/SMU and Alabama/Kentucky

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Does anybody have two teams that play each other?

I got San Diego State vs Ohio.

Took the Aztecs on the main board.

 

[BurgHawk87]

Had I taken Duke I would have almost round robined my way out of the contest all together.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Here's a look at the contestants that'll be in action this week:

@In the blood vs Navy / San jose State

EvilMonkeyInTheCloset (Ohio) vs @AckHawk80 (San Diego State)

 

[ZachJump]

I drafted two directional schools.


Hell with it...I ain't gonna quit drinking.

 

[AckHawk80]

Here's a look at the contestants that'll be in action this week:

@In the blood vs Navy / San jose State

EvilMonkeyInTheCloset (Ohio) vs @AckHawk80 (San Diego State)

Sorry monkey, my Aztecs couldn't be stopped.

 

[hawkcub]

Sorry monkey, my Aztecs couldn't be stopped.

Even though Hoke did everything he could do to lose it at the end.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

@In the blood out to the 2-0 Start.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

@In the blood out to the 2-0 Start.

I have a feeling he's in good shape having both USC and Notre Dame.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Sorry monkey, my Aztecs couldn't be stopped.

That's alright, I got SDSU in the main board Challenge as well, so it wasn't a total loss.



As a fellow degen gambler of HROT I have learned....................always hedge your bets.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

I realized I have two Sun Belt teams that are in the same division.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I realized I have two Sun Belt teams that are in the same division.

Maybe they'll both go 10-2.......

 

[ZachJump]

5-0 start

Let's go directionals!

174-71 total scoring. If I can get a 4-1 next week that will help....got a couple games where my teams are going to probably get destroyed.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Sitting at 3-1 waiting on Clemson. Congrats to

Hawkeyetraveler, obfuscating, StormHawk & ZahJump all going 5-0.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Congrats to @hawkeyetraveler for being the last unbeaten contestant on the GIA/HR side.

Fun fact- the only two contestants with spotless records remaining are both (naturally) Hawkeye fans.

All standings have been updated. Congrats to @hawkeyetraveler once again for remaining the only unbeaten contestant through 3(4) weeks of play. It is a race between him and @UNIHAWK88 to see who will have the best undefeated run to start a Survivor Series Challenge. He currently sits at 15-0 over on the Rivals main CFB board.

I suspect my streak will come to an end this weekend - tough matchups for my lineup.

Sorry fellas. Standings have been updated for a few days now. Just forgot to tag everyone.

@hawkeyetraveler is starting to separate himself from the pack despite his unbeaten run finally coming to an end.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

I. Was going to say, LAST PLACE, that isn’t the BF way.

 

[BurgHawk87]

Who the f said the road runners were a trendy pick this season? And why did I listen to that?

Standings and records have finally been updated, and do we have ourselves a contest now. A new leader has emerged in @DirtyJohns97 but a handful of competitors are now right in the thick of things with plenty of time left to make a move.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

will any conference championship games count in the standings?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

will any conference championship games count in the standings?

No, only regular season games will count as that would bring an unequal amount of games for whichever players' teams make those CCGs compared to those that didn't.

The only exceptions are if a team gets a 13th regular season game like some did when playing Hawaii (although I don't know if that's still a thing) or if a game is canceled, like due to a weather event (i.e. hurricane). That I can't help you guys with......


That's also why I have the other side contests (last unbeaten team, and national champion), and why I'll have another announcement coming soon.

 

[ZachJump]

Damn directional schools

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Can I trade one of my teams for an undrafted “free agent “?
