Clearly Howie's subversive ways have continued, and while I generally enjoy subversiveness sometimes it does cause a degree of difficulty. So for those of us who believed that the week was going to start on Sunday as it was intended instead of Saturday as Howie decided to do, I am adding 4 games, all quite difficult, to substitute for the Saturday games. It would be wrong to have Howie pick up games on Myrtle through this subterfuge (although to be fair Howee only got 1 of 4 games correct).
Added Games for Week 12:
Tuesday UCF @ Cincinnati
Tuesday TCU @ Iowa St
Wednesday Fordham @ St Louis
Thursday Wright St @ Wisconsin Milwaukee

Week 11 was the most diverse week, with scores ranging from a high of 17 all the way down to a low of 8. Thanks to Myrtle for selecting the games that created the separation. Two games were correctly picked by only 2 players, Miami (O) over E Michigan and Akron over Kent St. Lynxmania correctly picked both of these MAC games and Howee correctly picked Akron, while I also picked Miami.

Good job Myrtle. You managed to get all 4 games right that were already played. I had the same thought. Just trying to keep things fair.

Since 3 people picked the additional 4 games after picking the full slate of 20, I will score those players based on either the original 20 or the amended 20 games, whichever is higher. Going forward all weeks will run Sunday to Saturday.
OK We will try to get things back on track for next week. Pick some good games, Pilight.

Looks like we are all going to need some luck. This looks like a tough group of games. NC Greensboro at Wofford is a tough choice for your Southern Conference. I thought you might at least go for E Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Thanks for the selections.

OK so maybe I went overboard with the difficult. 5 people picked the 4 games and managed to get a total of 3 right, 15%.

An interesting slate of games. Unbeknownst to you. pilight, five of the games include teams that I saw in person this season (Minnesota, Niagara, Hofstra, USC and LSU). You also picked my home town school (and the school where Rollie Massimino got his start), Stony Brook against a school where two of my best friends from grade school and high school matriculated, Binghamton. You even included the University my first Economics professor transferred from (Riverside) and the school where the brother of a stewardess I befriended on a cross country flight nearly 45 years ago was the head basketball coach (Weber St). I believe that none of this gives me any advantage in picking these games, which appear deviously difficult and for which a dart board often seemed more helpful than cognitive thought.
Nonetheless, thank you for the slate of games.

For week 13 only one game was unanimous, LSU over Auburn. In the only game Sunday Pureform was the only player that correctly picked Rutgers over Michigan.

Week 12 featured strong performances by Adamj and Summertime Blues, who each had 16 of 20 correct selections. Thanks to Howee for selecting the games. The confusion caused by the games played on Saturday wound up having no impact on the three players that selected the additional games as well, because all did better on the Saturday games. Sorry Myrtle for making the substitute games so hard; you had 13 right out of 16, but you still beat Howee by 2 for the week. Lynx and Adamj were the only 2 players to correctly pick Stanford over Oregon St.

1) Adamj 16
1) Summertime 16
