    There are some here that took automatic losses because they were late getting in. I don't think a percentage would be fair to them.

    Do you mean one game or an entire slate of games?

    I like USC to win outright. Getting 3 -3.5 at home is just gravy. Ole Miss has played Memphis (looks terrible) and SE Louisiana, South Carolina won on the road at NC State, played Georgia extremely tough. They have been tested, and I think will be a little scary for other SEC teams this year. Nutter loses to the Ole Ball Coach.

    My first problem with winning percentage: We could have someone make picks for only two weeks. They may get 18 correct out of 24 games picked (75%) and end up beating someone that picked 116 correct for the whole season (74%). To me that would be like Houston or TCU (both 2-0 right now) not playing the rest of the season and claiming a National Championship.

    My other knock on winning percentage is: What if someone picks a good run of winners for few weeks, gets their winning percentage to 85% and then just quits picking because they have the lead?

    I'm not trying to spoil anyone's fun, just trying to safe guard us from having a big commotion at the end of the season.

    Good points.

    If we use percentage, I think there needs to be a minimum number of weeks. If the Pick 'Em season is 13 weeks, then maybe we require a minimum of 10 weeks of picks to be considered. Also, that would allow those who post picks all 13 weeks to use their 10 best weeks.

    Personally, I like the current system.
