It’s Warbiany vs. The Major’s Girl in LRT College Football Pick ’em

The second annual Living Room Times College Football Pick ‘em Contest is going to overtime.

“Old Gold & Black,” a.k.a. Brad Warbiany, and “The Major’s Girl” are tied for first place with 235 points, and are guaranteed to finish tied for first place with 252 points because of the contest’s rule dropping each contestant’s lowest weekly point total. (The lowest, presently-dropped weekly point total for both Warbiany and The Major’s Girl is 17 points. This weekend’s maximum available point total is 14, due to the smaller number of games. So this week is guaranteed to be both leading contestants’ lowest score, and those previously dropped 17 points will be added back into their season totals.)

Since Warbiany and The Major’s Girl will finish tied in points, the Yahoo tiebreaker for “Season Ties” is invoked. It states:

If two or more players have the same number of points on the season, here’s the system that’ll be used to break the tie is as follows:
Highest score in week 14
Highest score in week 13
Highest score in week 12

Etc., etc., back to week 1. So, in this case, what that means is, whoever gets the higher score this week, wins the contest. If they get the same score this week, The Major’s Girl wins, because she had the higher score in week 12 (they were tied in week 13).

To enter picks for all of this week’s games, predictions are due before 5pm MDT Friday.
