That's been a personal rule of mine since the first season this game was a thing.

Starting to get tough. Need some movement in the top 10 eventually. College football is so mediocre outside maybe 5 teams this year.

I have the day off from work and I'm bored. So here's some analysis just for fun:

User Pick Availablity by Team
Bama - 8
Mich - 4
Clem - 0
Wash - 0
Louisville - 6
THE Ohio State - 2
Nebraska - 1
Baylor - 11
Texas A&M - 5
West Virginia - 11

If the top-10 were to stay the same the rest of the season, there would be 48 total available picks to make. With 11 of them being made each week, there wouldn't be enough for anyone to make it to bowl season.

Thanks to the rise of Baylor and WV, every user has either 4 or 5 teams remaining in the top 10. With Bama off, 4 users have only 3 available choices this week:

bdmazur (Michigan, Baylor, WV)
dmspack (Baylor, TAMU, WV)
doss2K (Michigan, Baylor, WV)
rflong (Ohio St, Baylor, WV)
treetwista10 (Louisville, Baylor, WV)

The E Man has used all of the top 6 teams, and can only use 7-10. This includes Nebraska, of which he is the only one who hasn't picked. He has also not taken Wisconsin, so it's safe to assume one of them will be available to him next week regardless of who wins that game.

Of the 5 users with 5 top-10 teams remaining, only Synapse still has both Alabama and Michigan (#1 & #2) available.

I created a formula using number of options remaining and average ranking of options remaining to create a way of ranking users. The results:

#1 - synapse
#2 - cabbage
#3(T) - bdmazur
#3(T) - doss2k
#5 - mkcarter
#6 - wlb420
#7 - treetwista10
#8 - rflong
#9 - dmspack
#10 - titans 78
#11 - the e man

To compare the range of user rankings, Synapse has 5 options remaining with an average ranking of 5.2, while The E Man has 4 options averaging a ranking of 8.5.

Even with only 4 options remaining, Doss2k and I are still highly ranked based on an average team ranking of 5.25.

OK State lost to Central Michigan, and only quality win is against a Texas team which was overranked at the time because they had beaten #10 Notre Dame (which as we know now was a joke).

I may well regret this later, but I want to save Michigan for now. At least it will keep things interesting.

I don't really accept your rankings because they don't take into account the remaining opponents and only focus on team rank. alabama plays their 4th straight ranked team so having them left over wasn't really a good thing 3 weeks ago. Now that they have reached light at the end of the tunnel, it will be nice to pick alabama over chatanooga but thats hindsight.

I didn't really feel like looking at future opponents for all 10 teams, so it's just based on number of options and not how good do those options look. That part is on the user, though. You can't just pick based on who will win this week, you have to leave future picks available you know will work out.

Alabama is still the #1 team regardless of future opponents. It's the position they are in now, not based on where they will be later. The user ranking follows that same philosophy.

this is true but you should prioritise survival first. its not like it was certain alabama would even win the 4 straight games against top 15 team they are in right now. in hindisght it worked out, but everyone should have already been elminated by now which means "saved" teams would have been wasted.

^^Everyone knew well enough not to take Alabama those days, so those who had faith saved them for later and those who didn't, or who just wanted a guaranteed win, took them earlier. At this point, after what happened with Ohio State, it's clear even one loss would not have knocked them out of top-10.

10/25/2016 7:23:54 PM

yeah but making reckless picks is not really smart just to save alabama. Sure, it worked out, but pretty much everyone should have lost 2 or 3 games by now. If App state and NC State and a few other teams didn't finish simple plays, none of the people who saved bama would have ever gotten the chance to pick them.

10/25/2016 7:26:55 PM

My thought was always that Alabama could lose 2 games and stay in the top 10 so I knew I would always have them around for that week when I am like errrrr yeah fuck these choices Ill take my chances with Alabama no matter who they play.

True, but that's also in hindsight. App (vs Tenn), NCSU (vs Clem), and Indiana (vs Nebraska) were all heavy underdogs and weren't supposed to win those games. Would have been yuge upsets. So you can't say that saving Alabama those weeks was a bad choice.

I got you. I appreciate someone else going out on a limb for a less than 1 touchdown spread.

Should have known better than pick a shitty Big 12 team. I'll be passing my crown on to someone else. Good luck fuckers

hey at least you still have alabama left

^You're incredibly salty about my meaningless ranking system

10/30/2016 1:07:22 PM

Not really any new blood this week wont be long before I am left picking upsets haha

10/31/2016 7:52:14 AM

I don't regret taking the risk. If I had taken Michigan last week like I had considered, then this week all I'd have left would be Alabama and Florida, both on the road, both with minimal favorability.

Best of luck to those who made it this far. I'll continue to moderate and add commentary as we finish out the season. Updated fake meaningless user rankings coming soon.

Week 10
#1 Alabama @ #15 LSU
#2 Michigan vs Maryland
#3 Clemson vs Syracuse
#4 Washington @ California
#5 Louisville @ Boston College
#6 Ohio state vs #9 Nebraska
#7 Texas A&M @ Mississippi State
#8 Wisconsin @ Northwestern
#10 Florida @ Arkansas

I don't trust Florida on the road and if Alabama loses I am happy so guess this is the only pick that makes sense this week.
