CCHA Pick ‘Em 2025-26: Arrivederci Rico!

T

TalonsUpPuckDown

Roll along you BG Warriors!
Welcome Pick ‘Em fans to the 2025-26 rendition of the CCHA Pick ‘Em contest. This year we celebrate/mourn the last year of the Tommies gracing the CCHA with their presence. Good luck to everyone. Here are the particulars:

Click the link, fill out the form (don’t forget your screen name), submit your picks. If you want to change any of your picks, fill out a new form. I will take the last submission as your final answer.

Scoring:
3 points for a win (regulation or NCAA OT)
2 points for a shootout win (CCHA conference games only)
1 point for a shootout loss (CCHA conference games only)
0 points for a loss (regulation or NCAA OT)

For OOC regular season and specific tournament games there will be the option to pick a tie. If the game ends in a tie at the end of the NCAA OT period, 3 points will be awarded. If either team wins, zero points will be awarded.

Periodically there will be a bonus question (or two...) worth 5-10 points. There are also two bonus questions available only in week 1 that will cover the entire CCHA regular season.

Only NCAA-sanctioned games will be counted (no exhibition games).

Playoffs will be mano-a-mano single elimination with seeding based on regular season finish. Playoff participation and seeding will be determined based on the number of participants and overall standings. More on the playoffs later.

Four awards are up for grabs:
o MacNaughton Cup – Regular season champion as determined by total points - Last Year’s Winner: TalonsUpPuckDown
o Mason Cup – Playoff champion - Last Year’s Winner: Icd80
o Bill Beagan Trophy – Highest regular season points percentage (based solely on picks, no bonus) - Last Year’s Winner: TalonsUpPuckDown
o Jeff Sauer Trophy – Most bonus points - Last Year’s Winner: MTUHuskyGold

Hurray!
 
We have two games slated for Sunday afternoon so week 1 results will be posted on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy the form for week 2 and remember there is a Thursday game this week.

Lastly, to keep things interesting, the staff a Pick 'Em headquarters added a mini-bonus for week 2. Picking Ferris State this week in either game will be worth double points (6 points for a win, 6 points for a tie, 0 points for a loss).

We had a big start to the season with three contestants rolling out to a 10-1 mark and capturing week 1 honors. Congratulations to BGHockeyFan94, Puckdude40, and Xelraz who start us off by posting a whopping 30 points each. Stick taps to Footballguy51, MTUHuskyGold, Puckdude40, and BGHockeyFan94 who were the only contestants to correctly pick Michigan Tech to upset Minnesota on Saturday. Jeers go to 4 contestants who overestimated the Brett Riley factor and picked up zero points when Ferris failed to record so much as a tie against Miami (TUPD is one of these fine folks).

There are a couple of reminders. First, picking Ferris this week in either game against Western Michigan will be worth double points (6 points for a win, 6 points for a tie, 0 points for a loss). Second, the first Ferris/Western game is on Thursday so be sure to get those picks in early.

Wow, what a week! Congratulations to our week 2 co-winners BGSURICK and GoNanooks who each posted 33 points. Stick taps to NoClue who clearly has a clue by being the only contestant to pick Niagara to win over BG on Friday (we won't call it an upset just yet). And what about PuckMaster who knew what was up and was the only contestant to pick up 3 bonus points by picking Ferris to upset defending national champion Western Michigan on Friday during their banner raising! WOW! With this win PuckMaster is our current leader in the Race for the Sauer (most number of bonus points). That leaves puckdude40 and BGSURICK tied for the lead in the standings as well as tied in the Battle for the Beagan (highest pick percentage without bonus points) at a blistering .704 pick percentage. Lastly, we'll give out a quick shoutout to Footballguy51 and GoNanooks who were the only two contestants to pick Lindenwood to beat the Lakers on Saturday.

Once again we have a Thursday matchup so get those picks in early!

So my cable modem died, which means a new modem which means a new IP address which means a new DNS on the web server which means a DNS propagation delay which means standings are old school this week. Apologies.
