This was set up by Walrus over at FFZ, I figure by sharing leagues we should get enough people
I'm in.

We will be able to drop our lowest week (good if you happen to miss a week) But based on the first two weeks, gjramsey has a solid lead.
I'm not sure who some of the players are, so if you can, please identify yourselves. Thank you.
Keep on Civin'

I'm thinking Calamitous Intent is Guynemer.

Dang, I think I played the wrong games last time in Nevada.
Tex is right. Why do the standings not match up with total points?

I don't understand the scoring at all. I'll just ride along.

That makes no sense. If my low week "doesn't count" then why is my rank #6, when my total points are actually #3?

The "Group Points" column represents your actual points which is your total score minus your worst week to date. So in this case, with only two weeks played, the group points columrn represents your best score in the two weeks...

Your 192 points in week one (I assume you are the Calamitous Intent) was the sixth best score that week. Since NOBODY did better in week 2 than week one, the group score didn't take anybodies week two score, and reflects the same standings as it was after week one.

Ahhh. Well, that's confusing as hell, but I'm having fun nevertheless.

I agree... the first time we played with "drop the lowest week", many of the same questions were asked. Once you get used to it, it's fine. It really helps for those that miss a week for what ever reason. It also allows for people to join in week two. So the possible confusion is a small price to pay, and keeps things interesting.

Now... I can know you are Calamitous Intent. I'm going to assume the Go KU is Berz... But who the heck is Homestopher?

Gee... I see this contest is gathering just tons of interest
It was a strange week for College Football, with many ranked teams going down in flames... and it showed in the scores. Guynemer won the week with only 68 points.

I'm not doing too bad overall, and I did manage to pick a couple of the upsets (at least against the spread anyway). Of course, my biggest loss was Michigan-Wisconsin... I honestly believed the Badgers were just gonna destroy us. I was right for about a half.
