Jersey Contest: Week 11

by ntrebon on Nov 7, 2011 10:00 AM PST in ATQ Jersey Contest

In case you missed it over the weekend, here are the updated standings. As always, the rules for the contest can be found here: PickEmRules

As with the last two weeks, you may now submit picks via the comments (in lieu of or as a "backup"), under the following rules:

Any comment picks will automatically overwrite any picks made via the form, regardless of timestamp (i.e, submitting picks via the form after you made your picks via comment will not count). If you wish to change your picks that you have made via a comment, you will need to make those changes via comment as well (i.e., reply to your original comment with your changes).
If you make your picks via comment, there is no need to also include your passphrase or email. Just include your picks (and justification, if you are so inclined).
When you make your picks via comment, the picks must be clear (i.e., no witty nicknames that I have to try and translate). If I can’t resolve your pick with minimal effort then it won’t count. Note, this also includes things like: "all home teams." You *must* explicitly pick each game.

And, here are this week's games:

Oregon at Stanford
Michigan at Illinois
Texas at Missouri
North Carolina State at Boston College
UCLA at Utah

I thought it was against the rules to have an Oregon game here?

Oregon – Like I can pick against the Ducks?
Michigan – sigh. Illinois is just going to ruin this pick.
Missouri – still don’t have much faith in Texas, especially on the road.
North Carolina State – and I have faith in Boston College.
Utah – seem to be figuring things out (like not giving the other team the ball) and at home.

Now it's time for the easiest part of any coaches job. The cuts. And although I wasn't able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you.

Obviously, I can't pick against Oregon

Not that I’d want to, but even if I could — were I to gain from that, my winnings would be tainted with the stench of betrayal.

WTF - Since when do we have to pick the Oregon game??

As if there isn’t going to be enough PANIC without involving the Jersey Contest as well?

Pretty sure you're the 1% in this fight.

The rest of us will be over here, picking the Ducks.

I've been second guessing myself all morning on this now.

I can’t decide if I want to try for the 5/5 and pick Oregon, or give some positive to a loss. I want that freaking jersey!

Think of it this way.

Suppose that you pick Stanford to win, and that you get the pick correct, and that you win the jersey contest by one point. Every time you wear that jersey, you’ll be reminded of the fact that you had to betray the UO to get it. (Also, you’ll only be wearing it once, because the AtQ community will be ripping it off of you and yelling “SHAAAAAAME” at the top of our lungs.)
