Congrats to Glenn616! Another year of battle with the Picker is over...I'm wondering what finishing 199th will get me other than the anguish of losing 8 of 14 weeks to the Picker!

Congrats to the winners.  And Dash, I'd rather have finished 199th than where I did; tied for 17th!  So close!!!

Okie, that IS tough to take! At least you'll have some satisfaction in the fact that you did beat the Picker 8 out of 14 weeks.

I had concerns about my ranking on two different weeks. My tally did not match the TW tally. Contacted the web editor and never heard back.
Don't know if it would have made much of a difference, but it would have at least been nice to hear back.

Congrats winners!

For the most part, I obliterated you people as always.

Will round up final stats. The obvious highlight was the week I defeated all multi-thousands of you.

The way it usually goes is when the suckers win, they win by one game; when I win, I win by 5, 6 games, etc.

But good work all the same. 
Soonerguy,

There were a couple of weeks where a game had the wrong teams or the teams were reversed. In all of those cases we went back and fixed the picks made prior to us fixing the error (and then recalculated the results for that week). Typically Jason posted that the fixes were made on the blog. If you still have a question with two of your week's results, just let us know what two weeks they were and I can look at the audit log and see if their are any issues. Like you said, it probably wouldn't change any outcomes but I for one would like to make sure we have the right scores up there.
Soonerguy: I am sorry that I didn't get back with you. I thought I had talked to everyone who had called. Let me see if I can find your email and I will get back with you. I apologize again for not following up.

Out Pick The Picker

The Picker began entertaining – and infuriating – sports fans in 1993. Each week during football season, he writes about his picks of college and NFL games in his Thursday Sports column. He's never afraid of sharing his opinions about the game and the personalities who play it. Readers have a chance to go against him each season in the Outpick the Picker contest. He welcomes the competition.
