WEEKLY PREDICTIONS THREAD

hahahah I was just messin' around man, its a predictions contest, we gotta have a lil TRASHTALK especially from the undisputed undefeated unchallenged untested #1 in Tha Kid!

Upset Game: Sunday, January 27th 1:00pm   Florida over (13) Vanderbilt
Big East Game: Saturday, January 26th 6:00pm   Pittsburgh over Rutgers
Toss Up Game: Friday, January 25th 7:00pm   Fairfield over Canisius

seriously though there will be people to try and put in sketchy games and I could use some help running things smoothly so if you wouldn't mind stepping up and helping out. This way I don't have to spend time reading each and every prediction because I spend a great deal of time doing everything else.

You got it --- my first act is to give randomhero only 1/2 for the lamest pick of all time for an upset!!!

Randomhero --- my post is very serious right now --- in light of your picks last week as well as Nova's multiple losses last week, we need to wait to see the new rankings before allowing your Toss Up pick --- we can look at Vegas if you want, but if Pitt is say 22nd and Nova is nowhere near in "receiving votes", in a game at Pitt, it will not be considered a toss up.

In terms of your UPSET pick I am fairly confident that it will NOT be allowed.  Wash St. lost this week and beat ASU by 1, they will certainly drop, to the double digits --- Stanford won and will likely be high teens next week.  We will need to check the official rankings, but if they are within a few spots of each other this will not be an upset, and woud be better served as you toss up.

Thank you.

Additionally, as enforcer of the picks, I am making an official recommendation to JJ that picks for the following week are not allowed to be put up until Monday so the new rankings for the week are used and losses of the previous week by teams are taking into account,.

Thank you,

Predictions Enforcer

the perfect man for the job...yea randomhero post your picks post monday after new rankings are issued as tha kid presented some very valid points.

i assumed those were the updated picks.  i'll edit my picks accordingly.
