TheNorm

Through December 24

1. Norm - 10
2. tider - 9
3. (tie) cflnut/thai - 8

Also updated my picks through January 1.
"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

Mizzou looks like crap, looks like Iowa was a good pick though.

I wont edit my original post, but I want to change the title game to Bama over UGA. gonna ride my team to the end.



TheNorm

Through January 1

1. Norm - 25
2. cflnut - 24
3. tider - 23
4. thai - 22

It's seriously anyone's ballgame at this point - tider was the only one that picked one of the semifinals correctly, bringing the group average up to 25% lol. Noted that tider has chosen Alabama for the championship. As for the rest of you, you have until five minutes before kickoff of the final to choose your winner; only a $25 PSN store credit on the line.  :popcorn:

Haha, we're all so smart!

I'll pick UGA.

cflnut

Considering I don't watch US Collage Football all that often (Maybe two games a year) I'm surprised that I'm not dead last.

I'll Alabama for the National Championship
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.
And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would.

:woot:

Since I really don't need to worry about tiebreakers at this point, here are the scenarios (subject to change if your picks change):

Alabama win: cflnut wins.
Georgia win: thai wins.

Yes, that means I'm awarding this credit to one of you three (for the record, I'd pick Bama). Good luck.  :thumbsup:
