WEEK 14 RECAP
What to say about last week? Impressive performances from Pop and a certifiably unprecedented Pick 6 of 6-0 Picks including one from King James to secure the "(ir)Regular Season" Championship. A tip of the hat to Eric McFarlin, MaxandCheese, KJ, HortHokie15, McHokie540, and me (I'm the most surprised of anyone by this).

Comments
Did you intend for us to only be able to pick 6 of the 9? I can pick any 6 games I want, but then it won't let me pick any more after that.
Ran into same issue. Can only pick 6.
I'll have to mess with settings I think. Stand by.
EDIT: Unfortunately, CBS won't allow changes to # of games to pick for this week.
Make 6 picks on CBS and post your Whole 9 Picks here in the comments.
I need anyone that has made picks to clear them so I can make changes.Clear picks by clicking/tapping the Wrench Icon at the upper right corner.Simple enough solution for this week.
I will say that when I made my picks I thought this format may have been on purpose and thought to myself:
Is this something we may wish to consider for next year? Put a slate of say 10 games up and everyone makes their picks on the 6 games of their choosing. It would bring another element to the contest. Now what I don't know is how much additional effort on your part that would require. It is all fun and games on our end. 😁
I thought about it but TBH finding just 6 games with reasonable/intriguing spreads was challenging at times this year.
The current playoff format is killing the pick'em pool market! /S
A way to work around it, and it's too late for this to really work, is to set up an entirely separate pool, have everyone sign in, and pick all 9 games. If it was a 20 game week for a full on free-for-all, maybe that's worth it. But for just 3 more games, not quite enough juice for the squeeze.
Yeah, having everyone register for a totally separate pool felt like a low ROI
IF there were more than 2 people within 5 points (top 2 separated by 2, then 3 points to 3rd.) then having the top ones do it to be able to select all could be worthwhile for the champion, sorta like the playoff all in one week. But for this week, yeah, having everyone do that wouldn't garner a lot of participation. Season burn out, Hokie football burn out, Holidaze burnout...
Thank you for another season!!!!!

I didn't add the additional 3, was too busy to see how u all were doing that. My loss.
Ended up w final score of 51. I'll take it, started way behind and got better as season progressed.
And, thanks for doing this for us. Fun!
Yes, see u all in the bowl pick em.
Go Hokies!
FYI, if we are going to do a bowl pool, there are bowl games this Saturday. They've stretched out the season. A lot.
