Pic'em anyone?

What makes it a little challenging is that not all the sets of games include seven games. Therefore, that might need to affect how many points each set of games is worth.

Maybe…
5-game sets = 10 points
6-game sets = 12 points
7-game sets = 14 points

That way, every game could theoretically still be worth two points if you play it straight. You just have to make that very clear on each set’s thread.

Could also just do the "top" 5 games or maybe 5 closest projected games. Predicting Rice @ UTSA doesn't exactly sound super exciting

Could even take it week by week, sun-sat.

I like the 2 points available per game idea. Honestly pic'em makes me pay a bit more attention to Rice vs UTSA, so I like that aspect.

I'm taking Rice for 4 points

So straight up, not against the spread?

If you do week-by-week, go Monday through Sunday.

But I think you can do two sets per week. Weeknights and Sat/Sun.

Good point. I've put together a potential schedule with 20 rounds. There is one round where we'd only have 4 games.

I think against the spread would be fun but lines don't release until the day before a game is played which would be a nightmare for everyone to keep track of.

I don't think the spread will matter as much as it might in other years. Seems like an MVC cluster-farkle of parity in this conference this season.

Not a chance. The Shocks are going to run away with it.

Maybe put the Rice/USF matchup that you have in Round 4 and put it in Round 3. Just a thought.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've got the tracking spreadsheet created so we'll be good to go come the end of December.

Kung, let me know when you want me to make that first thread and we can go live.
