Past Winners:
Week 1 = @hokiehead
Week 2 = @dwyermj
Week 3 = @SBP
Week 4 = @hokiehead
Week 5 = @LSX Buff
Week 6 = @BuffUp
Week 7 = @BuffinCali
Week 8 = @onealcd
Week 9 = @SBP
Week 10 = @CarolinaBuff
Week 11 = @BlackNGold
Week 12 = @cmgoods
Week 13 = @CarolinaBuff

Rules:
10 games (I choose them, with a focus on competitive matchups on tv & lean toward Pac-12 games. I also try to fill the day up as much as possible on Saturday with game times.)

1. Pick a winner of each game
2. Assign a value to each pick (using 1 thru 10 once each)
3. Each correct pick gets you the points assigned to the game
4. Winner is whomever has the highest point total
5. Everyone who played gives the winner a Like because it would be a dick move not to do so

Tiebreaker is CU's point total if the Buffs are playing. If CU isn't playing, I'll think of something else.

Nitpicky rules stuff:
If I've got Thursday, Friday or Saturday morning games included and you miss the cutoff, you can still play.
First missed game is automatically your 1-pt game. Second is your 2-pt game. Etc.
If a game has kicked off before you get your picks in, that counts as missing the game.

Note: As always, help (i.e., others doing the math) to tell me who won is always appreciated.

1 Seed = Alabama
2 Seed = Clemson
3 Seed = Notre Dame
4 Seed = Ohio State
 
10. Ohio State
9. Clemson
8. Georgia
7. Oklahoma
6. Washington
5. Buffalo
4. Fresno State
3. UAB
2. UCF
1. App State

And, continuing my practice of never picking ND to win anything, ever:
1 Seed = Clemson
2 Seed = Georgia
3 Seed = tOSU
4 Seed = OU
 
10-Clemson
9-Alabama
8-Ohio State
7-Washington
6-UAB
5-Texas
4-Boise State
3-Memphis
2-App State
1-Buffalo

1 Seed-Alabama
2 Seed-Clemson
3 Seed-Notre Dame
4 Seed-Ohio State
 
Who won?

And do you guys want to do these during the bowl season?
 
Final Scores:
@WasianCU - 50 pts (missed UNI/Buffalo at 3 and UAB/MTSU at 2, Tie Breaker was Perfect)
@BuffinCali - 33
@4DemBuffs - 42
@leftybuff - 49
@Buffsrock85 - 48
@AeroBuff99 - 50 (missed FSU/BSU at 5, Tie Breaker was Perfect)
@cmgoods - 48
@CarolinaBuff - 40
@CUBuff98 - 45
@Buffnik - 45
@skibum - 42
@Duff Man - 42

So I don't know what the 2nd tie breaker is if there is one.
You both win, I guess. You'll just have to spoon each other on the winner's platform.
 
My best result yet! Only achieved by sitting this one out to revisit how crappy my pics were the last few weeks.
