I think they have as good a chance as any team to win this thing. No other team really looks like a lock to win any given week. It’s a free for all with the remaining teams, any one could take it all.

JMU and Tulane were automatic picks based on agreements, and the committee had to chose them. But the teams selected ahead of Notre Dame won their respective games.

Bears win in OT in another improbable comeback featuring an on-side kick recovery and a fourth-and-goal conversion in regulation! Unbelievable!

As good as the Rams or Seahawks? No. But in any one game....

If you want G5 teams in, they should play a play-in game the week before.

So last week it should have been Tulane playing at BYU, and JMU playing at Notre Dame. Most likely BYU and Notre Dame would have advanced to the first round to play Ole Miss and Oregon.

Yeah I know, but it still ain’t right. I don’t know how they can fix it. Maybe like gator said with playin games or something. There were better teams not playing today.

In a tie, Tampa’s Uncommon record is 1 game worse. Therefore, their common record is 1 game better. Tiebreaker goes to Tampa Bay.

There's 120 or so names on my Fools-Ball-Ping-List, and less than 40 that are actively playing. However, a bunch of people only do picks in the playoffs or skip periods of time so I'm reluctant to remove them from the list.
If you would like to be added or removed from the ping list just let me know.

I just want to beat Impy. At this point it’s all that really matters and a realistic goal to set.
