The season is complete, and now it’s time for the awards! First off, congratulations to the overall winner of the 2015 e-Systems College Football Pool:
AUBrian
AUBrian finished the season with 2,318 points in the “drop two lowest weeks” format. In second place was Jeff4Bama, who scored 2,312 points, and AllySun was third, with 2,307 points. Congratulations to each of the top three for their awesome performances! Each will receive a special prize for their accomplishment.
AUBrian pulled off the win with consistent high scoring, especially in the second half of the season, where he only finished out of the top five once (week 14’s abbreviated schedule). By doing this, he also won the second half championship with 1,080 points. The first half champion was AllySun, with 1,409 points. Congratulations!
AUBrian, AllySun, and Jeff4Bama finished as the top 3 in the “all weeks” category, with 2,460, 2,452, and 2,445 points respectively. Congratulations!
The player who picked the most games correctly (217 out of 265 –81.2% correct) was Mrshamie2. AUBrian was second with 214 games, and Crimson Gator, Eric G, and Jeff4Bama tied for third with 213 games. Great job to each of these accurate pickers!
There were two multiple-week winners this year: rocky tide (weeks 6 and 7), and pachyderm (weeks 11 and 14). Good job! Other weekly winners were JagAL (1), Jeff4Bama (2), Corn (3), Maestro (4), AllySun (5), Jhutto (8), bamaken (9), verntroyer (10), BrittaniaTex (12), and Mrshamie2 (13). Congratulations to all of the weekly winners!
The tie-breaker award, which goes to the player who did the best overall in picking tie-breaker amounts over the season, goes to BrittaniaTex, who was only off by 149 points total over all 14 weeks! In second was bamaken (174) and bevo (189) was third. Good job!
The “against the grain” award goes to the picker who picked winners in games most pickers missed. This year, the award goes to verntroyer for picking five such games correctly! BrittaniaTex, Crimson White, and JustGuess each had three such picks. Nicely done!
No one had a perfect week this year, but there were 21 “almost perfect” (1-miss) weeks, including 10 the last week. AllySun, AUBrian, AUsomeTiger, bamaken, JagAL, and Jeff4Bama had multiple 1-miss weeks!
