Analysis after the jump. That's right, analysis of Pick 'Em. It's most definitely the offseason.
DRD Bizarro Picks either really good at picks or really good at cheating
For awhile there, i was sure that DRD was superb at picking college football games. The entry has held the top spot in the OBNUG Bowl Pick 'Em group for as long as I can remember. Bowl picking genius!
But then I looked at DRD's picks over the past few days. Until Stanford's win last night, the OBNUG leader had gone on a seven-game picking skid, missing the Ticketcity Bowl through the Fiesta Bowl. And he remained No. 1 Cheater!
Ultimately, what has made DRD's pick spread great will also doom it. DRD did not assign confidence points, leaving the default values on everything. All that is great for a good start to bowl season, but come the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and all two of its confidence points, it's not going to do you any favors. (Everyone knows that Nevada is going to win big and you should put all your confidence points on them. Wait, Nevada's going to lose, aren't they? Doggone it.)
Your worst Pick 'Em entry update
Congratulations to those who have eschewed the goal of Pick 'Em and excelled at picking the wrong team with great frequency. Your place in history comes with Heavyweights on DVD. Lucky.
