ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

I'm ashamed of myself. How could I not pick the Raiders higher in the final standings? Well, it's a long season yet, but good things are happening so far....:)

To be fair you had no way of knowing Point would become Terry Sawchuk.
 
Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

Well, goldenbriggsy's prediction got worse, but everyone else did too, so he actually has a bigger lead than last week. The Fan Average is perhaps unsurprisingly sitting right in the center of the rankings. Down at the bottom of the standings, things are worse than ever before, as the RPI Standings Board keeps digging and FlagDUDE08 follows him down. As we head into thanksgiving, both The Media and The Coaches are worse than we the fans, and as always, JennyRN has a healthy lead on DrDemento.

Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

Thanks lugnut92! I know why I moved up in the rankings this week...the Big Green were off on their customary "bye" week! LOL!
 
Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

Only one ECAC game has been played since the last update in this thread, but that one game bumped Quinnipiac up 5 spots, so it caused pretty much everyone to improve in a big way. That shift has bumped sshablak back into the top spot as previous leader goldenbriggsy falls to third. The RPI Standings Board and FlagDUDE08 still suck (but slightly less), and are now the only two contestants below zero in our normalized scores. Hooray!

Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

This weekend undid most of the progress Quinnipiac made, and but goldenbriggsy back on top. The Random Number has fallen below FlagDUDE08, but he remains the worst of the real predictors. Meanwhile, the RPI Standings Board is impressively bad. I guess that's why we don't let buildings/walls make picks.

Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

The only ECAC games this weekend had the team in first beat the team in last twice, so nothing changed in the standings. Cool.
 
Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

AND WE'RE BACK. Harvard jumped up the standings and improved all of our selections by a pretty big margin. That said, goldenbriggsy maintains a slight lead over alslammerz for the top spot. At the bottom, Rjm7272 has taken over the "worst of the real people" spot, and all non-random, non-building posters are now in the black!

Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

AND WE'RE BACK. Harvard jumped up the standings and improved all of our selections by a pretty big margin. That said, goldenbriggsy maintains a slight lead over alslammerz for the top spot. At the bottom, Rjm7272 has taken over the "worst of the real people" spot, and all non-random, non-building posters are now in the black!

Some things never change. ;) I thought Doc every year would let Jennie win so that he would have an excuse for buying her another trinket. Love causes a man to do strange things.
 
Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

Once upon a time, we were headed for one the worst overall performance as a group since vicb started this game in 2002. Now, goldenbriggsy would be the 6th best winner of all time. Further, Rjm7272 would be the second best real-person-loser in the history of the contest! Congrats guys. Hopefully it all falls apart in the back half of the season.

Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

I spoke too soon. After a few straight weeks of everyone's score decreasing, we take a step back. That said, goldenbriggsy retains a reasonably strong hold on first overall. FlagDUDE08 managed to plummet back down to the bottom of the real posters, and we're all very proud of him.

Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

Uh oh, large gap between Jenny and DrD...

1st rule - Marry a rich girl who can cook (you can get almost everything else somewhere else)
2nd rule - Find a really smart girl, either academically smart or street smart
3rd rule - Never argue with her, you are not going to win anyway

After over 40+ years each morning waking up next to her is like going on an E Ticket ride at Disney World. You never know what you are going to get but it will never ever be boring. Sure makes enduring last season and this one from RPI hockey a whole lot easier!!!
 
Re: ECAC Pick the Standings 2017-18

Remember when we were all improving for a few weeks in a row? That was cool. Too bad it's over now. Goldenbriggsy still has a nice grip on the top spot, and FlagDUDE08 still sucks. What else is there to say?
