College Football - Week 4 Complete

Below are the standings through week 4.  Young took over 1st place, jumping up 2 spots from the previous week.  I added 3 additional columns that show your current rank, last weeks rank, and your week over week change, which will allow you to see if you are moving up or down and compare it to everyone else. 

B.I. is still going strong, but after that it is all bunched up between Doug, Curt, Joel, Christina the Aardvark, Rick, and Tim.  As you can see, the rankings can change a lot each week, except for Ron, he is consistently holding down last place.  Curt made the biggest jump from last week going up 6 spots, while Amanda had the biggest fall, going down 5 spots.


 
 
I have attached the spreadsheet with the full standings, but you can also see more frequent updates using this link.  The full standings will show who is leading in each of the other categories that have payouts at the end of the year, plus the expanded standings sections will show you how your specific teams are doing.

Current Standings

Remember, half of the pool money pays out for winning specific categories, so even if you are not in 1st/2nd overall, you will still be paid out for winning the 4 categories below by season end.

Young, B.I., and Curt are winning the Non Conference Bonus, while Andrew, although towards the bottom, is winning the conference points category.  We still have a long way to go as some college football teams have not even started their season yet, Southern Miss!  Also, as teams start playing tougher conference games it will make it harder to earn those shut out and scoring 50+ pts bonus's due to playing better opponents.




 
 
Good luck going into week 5!

College Football - Week 3 Complete

Below are the standings through week 3.  B.I. dominated again and has increased his lead due to many of his teams continuing to score 50+ points every week.  Doug and Young round out the top 3, with Tina, Joel, and Amanda all over 100 points.

Andrew and Ron are holding down the last 2 spots, but we still have a lot of season left so it would not be hard to go from last to first by the end of the season.  Also, many teams in college football have had bye weeks this week and last week, and some teams the season has not even started (i.e. Dartmouth).

At this point, a good indicator on how good of a team you have is conference wins and non conference wins.  Many of the top performing entries are winning due to shut outs and scoring 50+ points on very bad FCS teams.  As we move into the conference schedule and tougher non conference games, those teams will not continue to get those bonus points (just look at Wisconsin from last night).


 
 
Good luck going into week 4!

College Football - Week 2 Complete

Below are the standings through week 2.  B.I., Doug, and Young are setting the pace by scoring in the 80's.  Rabitoy is the one falling behind by the most and Jen has taken the biggest fall in the standing!

College Football - Week 1 Update

Below are the standings through week 1, although we still have 3 games left to play today and tomorrow.  No surprise, Tina and Jen are leading early, but as with all sports pools they tend to fade away towards the end.

Current Standings

We saw a lot of bonus points for shut outs and teams scoring 50+ points in week 1, but as schedules become tougher we will see less of that.  I wouldn't expect scoring to continue to be this high, so everyone is still in it at this point.  No way Sam Houston State continues to get Tina 11 points every week!



If you see any mistakes in your scoring I do plan and going through it later today to update anything that I may have missed.

Thanks!
