It\u2019s time for the awards!\u00a0 Our biggest congratulations go to the winner of the 2014 e-Systems College Football Pool:<\/p>\n
AUBrian<\/strong> finished the season with 2,212 points.\u00a0 For the first time since I\u2019ve been keeping records, there was a tie for overall second place between JagRag<\/strong> and maestro<\/strong>; each finished with 2,206 points.\u00a0 Congratulations to all three for their great performances!\u00a0 All three will receive special prizes for their accomplishment.<\/p>\n AUBrian<\/strong> won by scoring consistently high throughout the year; he only finished below tenth in a week four times.\u00a0 Starting week nine, he never finished below tenth in an individual week.\u00a0 AUBrian<\/strong> also has the distinction of becoming a back-to-back overall champion, having also won last year, and dare I say has established a dynasty, having won three times since 2010. Congratulations to AUBrian<\/strong>!<\/p>\n In the \u201cnumber of games picked correctly\u201d category, gatorbamalover<\/strong> finished first, with 213 games correct.\u00a0 Liquid Heat<\/strong> and maestro<\/strong> tied for second, with 212, and JG Bama<\/strong> had 210 games picked correctly.\u00a0 Great job!<\/p>\n The first half of the game (weeks 1-8) was won by JagRag<\/strong> (1,296 points), and the second half (9-15) by AUBrian<\/strong> (928 points). Nicely done!<\/p>\n There were three multiple-week winners this year: GODAWGS<\/strong> (weeks 3, 11, and 12); JHutto<\/strong> (weeks 8 and 9); and Liquid Heat<\/strong> (weeks 13 and 15).\u00a0 Good job!\u00a0 Other weekly winners were Mayhalls picks <\/strong>(1), Rudy Ruettiger<\/strong> (2), LPosey<\/strong> (4), gatorbamalover<\/strong> (5), The Tradition<\/strong> (6), Allison<\/strong> (7), bamaken<\/strong> (10), and Crimson Gator<\/strong> (14).\u00a0 Congratulations to all of the weekly winners!<\/p>\n You might remember that I mentioned new categories that I would be keeping track of this year, and so here are the winners!<\/p>\n The first is the tiebreaker award.\u00a0 You know how every week we have to pick the total score of the last game as a tiebreaker?\u00a0 We kept track of who was closest overall in all of the tiebreaker choices, and the winner (with only 162 points in 15 weeks) is The Tradition<\/strong>!<\/p>\n The next award is the \u201cagainst the grain\u201d award.\u00a0 This title goes to the picker who amassed the most points by picking games correctly that a vast majority of the pickers that week missed.\u00a0 An example from this past week was Ohio State over Wisconsin; only 2 of the 20 pickers chose Ohio State; each put one point on the game, so each added one point to their total for getting that game right.\u00a0 The winner of this title is TheAUone<\/strong>, who scored 21 points in four correct \u201cagainst the grain\u201d picks!<\/p>\n Everyone will receive a prize for participating this year!
