BIG EAST:  G-town over St. John's, 1/30, 7PM

First of all, please include team ranks when posting.

Secondly  TEXAS A&M v. TEXAS will NOT BE CONSIDERED AN UPSET.

Normally, 23 over a 10 would be an upset...but in checking the odds, Texas A&M is a 3 point favorite, so I cannot in good conscience consider A&M an underdog if Vegas does not.  Even if they were a ONE point dog along with the 13 rank difference, I woulda let it slide, but as favorites in vegas, they are not an upset win here.  Please pick another game and repost your picks - if you do not get it in by tonight we will still count your gtown-stjohns game even if u decide tomorrow cuz its in already, but once that game starts u will not be able to alter it.  Repost all picks please.

THA KID'S PICKS

TOSS UP:  Villanova over Syracuse Saturday 12pm
UPSET:  (25) Miss. St. over ( Tennessee Saturday 7pm
BIG EAST:  (6) Georgetown over St. John's Weds 7pm

If anyone has a gripe with them, air them publicly as I will be officiated by the general forum if you think my pick is unfair at the time they are made.

However, and this goes for all:  If Miss. St. wins a game this week, and Tennessee loses, beofre they play each other, and then Miss St. becomes favorites...that is fine for my pick because they are clear underdogs on the day I picked them (today).  That goes for everyone.

FURTHERMORE:

(21) Pitt v. UConn on Saturday is a TOSS-UP game.  I was looking at this for an upset game for myself and deemed that it was no upset, UConn is ranked 26th/27th in the polls, and at UConn.  Therefore if you use it, it must be as a toss-up.

Toss up: ND over PC Thursday 7:00pm ESPN2
Upset: Illinois St. over Drake (17) Tuesday 8:05pm
Big East: (6) Georgetown over St. John's Wednesday 7:00pm

TOSS UP:  Fordham over Temple, 1/31, 8PM
UPSET:  Texas A&M over Texas, 1/30, 9PM
BIG EAST:  G-town over St. John's, 1/30, 7PM

Fair enough.  Here are my "edited" picks (edit function doesn't appear to be working)

TOSS UP:  Fordham over Temple, 1/31, 8PM
UPSET:  Cincinnati over (17) Marquette, 2/2, 12PM
BIG EAST:  (6) G-town over St. John's, 1/30, 7PM

3-0 for the week 7-5 to date.  Consider this a formal protest.  THAKID has gotten out of hand...JJ needs to put him in his place.  In my book #23 over #10 is an upset!!!

JumpinJohnny I didn't notice you had the A&M game you are going to have to pick another game they were heavily favored over Texas which isn't an upset. We made alley change and so will you. Please post another pick Thanks

Yeah that 17 point HOME win really looked like quite an upset.       Vegas knows their stuff and so do I - this is expressly why it was a toss up and not an upset.  Don't doubt THA KID!

your more of a tool than I thought     we've been playing rankings for upsets the whole time. Is Arkansas  an upset over Florida.   I guess you don't know your stuff.

Out of respect for JJ ...

Miss St. over ( Tennessee

Its my fault for not clearly defining the rules from the start. Tha Kid is doing a great job of making this more legit for everyone which is something I asked him to do. Next year I think I'm going to make the predictions with the spreads involved to make it harder. The contest is free and you get 2 sick dvd packages...I think most people should be happy and I'm shocked that more people don't participate then again people are afraid to get exposed for their lack of basketball knowledge...yea I'm calling everyone out.
