Football God points and rules 2013

So,  here the rules for Football God 2013. Changes are in bold. 

20 points if you predict the winner of each of the 11 confrences. These are:

Big 10
Big 12
Big East
Pac 10
ACC
SEC
Sun Belt
Conference USA
Mountain West
MAC
WAC

Total: 220 points

Bowl Games

This year it's going to be a little bit different.  Instead of naming all 8 of the BCS teams we're going to do it a little differently.  This category is going to be naming the four at-large bids.  The teams from the 6 major conferences all get automatic bids, and 2 of those end up in the championship.  So, this year, just name the four teams you think will get at large bids.  
So, for example.  If you have Oklahoma winning the Big 12, you would not put them as an at large bid.  Any questions on this new rule, let me know.  

 If you have a team in the BCS championship and they only get into a BCS game, you receive no points.  Also, you can't put a team in a BCS championship game, and a smaller BCS game like the rose bowl, or anything else like that.  

20 points each

Total = 80 points

National Championship

First you will need to predict the championship game. Each team you get correct will net you 20 points. Also pick the champion. Picking that correctly will net you 40 points.

Total possible 80

Also, this year we will try to predict the winner of more individual awards. ( 25 points each)


Heisman Trophy (Best Overall Player)
Fred Biletnikoff award (Best Receiver)
Doak Walker Award (Best Running back)
AP Coach of the year award
Chuck Bednarik Award (Defensive player)

Total 125 points

Grand total for college preseason predictions. 505

Pro Preseason Scoring

Pick the winner of the 8 divisions - 15 points a piece

Total = 120

Predict the four wildcard winners 15 points a piece

Total = 60

Pick the 4 teams that will play in the AFC and NFC championship games (20 points a piece)

Total = 80

Superbowl

Each team you get correct to play in the superbowl will net you 20 points a piece, picking the winner will get you 40 points

Total: 80

NFL individual awards

Each of these that you predict will net you 25 points

MVP
Coach of the year
Offensive POY (player of the year)
Defensive POY
Off ROY (rookie of the year)
Def ROY

Total = 150 points

Total = 490

Thats good for a grand total of 995 points available. That's about 200 points less than available last year.Pick 'Em Scoring

Pretty simple here, I'm setting up a pick 'em league. You make picks. You get one point for each pick, this is for pro and college picks. College picks are done against the spread, while Pro games are picked straight up.

For college and Pros put together that gets you around 500 possible points.

Updated scoring opportunity.  We will be doing the bonus system again for having the most points each  week in the system.  However, it will be a little different this year.  In the weeks where both the college & pros are playing at the same time, there will be a 10 point bonus to the person who does the overall best on that week.  The weeks when only one of the two are playing, there will be a 5 point bonus.  

For the bowl games, those are worth 2 points a piece. The BCS games are worth 5 points. The Championship Game is worth 10 points.

For the NFL playoffs, the Wild Card and Divisional Round of the playoffs are worth 5 points each
The AFC Championsip is worth 10 points. The Superbowl is worth 15.

Change:  The winner of the college pick'em will receive 40 bonus points.
The winner of the NFL pick 'em will win 40 bonus points.
IF YOU WIN BOTH you will receive 100 bonus points. 
Post season Bowl Pick 'em winner will receive a 20 point bonus
NFL post season does not award a bonus.

Fantasy Football

(6 team playoff format)

10 points for each win. 14 games
If you get a first round bye you get 20 points
If you win the first round you get 20 points
If you win the Semi-finals you get 20 points
If you win the Championship you get 40 points

(4 team playoff format)
10 points for each win 
20 points for semi-final win
40 points for winning championship.

For those who make the playoffs for fantasy football.  Everybody will get an automatic 10 bonus points for making the fantasy football playoffs.  

Also, back to the predictions, if you have a team in the championship game in college, but they make a BCS bowl, that does not count as a point for you. Likewise, if you have a team in a BCS game, but they make the National Championship, you don't get any points. 

Predictions are due for college football the Sunday before the first week of the season.  For the NFL it's the Sunday before their first game.  

Football God Final Scores

Offenive Rookie of the Year RG III - Jim, John, Munez

9. Jim 652
10. John 561

So, Colin and I are guarenteed a 1,2 finish.  The real interesting thing is for 3rd place.  4 teams are still in the running for that right now.  The person winning gets their $50 entry fee back.

Superbowl Pick'em is worth 15 points this week.

Football God Update: And then there were Two...Maybe

We're down to the Superbowl.  And, as it looks right now it's down to me and Colin for the title.  First thing's first.

HUGE props to Colin on picking the Superbowl EXACTLY right.  This is a Football God first.  Nice job, Colin.

Here were our totals going into this week

Adam 898
Colin 883
Joe 868
Andrew 867
Rob 842
Munez 818
Folden 732
Shawn 716
Jim 582
John 491

So, each person that had Baltimore and San Fran in the Superbowl get 35 points for each team.  Those were.

Colin 70
Adam 35
Folden 35
John 35

Also, we each got 10 points for each game correct in the pick 'em.  The 49ers & Falcons game was a push, so noone got points.  Those that picked the Ravens (-9) were

Colin 10
Rob 10
Adam 10
Shawn 10
Folden 10


So here are the weekly point totals.

Colin 80
Adam 45
Folden 45
John 35
Rob 10
Shawn 10

So, here are your totals with only the Superbowl and NFL individual awards left to award.

1. Colin 963
2. Adam 943
3. Joe 868
4. Andrew 867
5. Rob 842
6. Munez 818
7. Folden 777
8. Shawn 726
9. Jim 582
10. John 526

So, this could still change based on the individual picks.  But for now, it's looking like Colin and I are the final two.  Big battle for 3rd right now between Joe and Andrew.  Some things may still be up for grabs.  2 more weeks will settle it all.

Faggot Football God Update

Hey faggots.

So, we just had our AFC-NFC divisional round playoffs.  What that means is that for every team predicted correctly in the AFC-NFC championship games, you get 25 points.  So, how did everyone do?

Joe 3 of 4=75
Adam 2 of 4=50
Folden 2 of 4=50
Munez 2 of 4=50
Voyten 2 of 4=50
Jim 1 of 4=25
Rob 1 of 4=25

Also, we had the weekly pick 'em each game was worth 5 points again this week.

Folden, Shawn, Rob & Colin 15 points each
Adam 10 points
Andrew, Joe 5 points
Munez, Jim, John - 0

So, our totals for the week.

Colin 90
Joe 80
Folden 65
Shawn 65
Adam 60
Munez 50
Rob 40

Andrew 837
Rob 802
Colin 793
Joe 788
Munez 768
Folden 667

So, there ya go.  Quite a bit of change this week.  Andrew fell from 2nd to 4th.  Colin closed the gap on me to 15 points.

There's still a lot that can happen in the next week.  If Baltimore wins next week, the big winners going into the Superbowl will be Colin & I.  If New England wins, we'll see Andrew, Joe and Munez all make jumps.

Good luck to everyone, smell ya later.

Football God Update 1/6/2013

What's up guys.  I realize it's been awhile since you've had an elaborate update, so I'll do my best today.

I'm going to start by announcing the last two bonus's that occured.

Andrew received a 30 point bonus for winning the pro pick'em, while Shawn received the last 5 point bonus for getting an impressive 13 of 16 games correct.

I received a 30 point bonus for winning fantasy football.  So, I'm going to go through all the points that each person has right now in each category.  After this week, I will only be including the points that have occured in the most recent week.

As far as pro picks that we haven't gone through yet.  The only people to get any of the 4 wildcard teams are Joe and Rob, they both got the Bengals.

As far as the worst 3 teams in the league.

Jacksonville - Jim, Adam, Andrew, Joe, Munez, Rob, Colin, & John

So this will give us our regular season totals.  Here's where we stand with these.  This does not count any NFL post season predictions, regular season awards, college bowl pick'em or NFL playoff pick 'em.

NOW MORE THAN EVER IS THE TIME TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR OWN SCORE, AS WELL AS MINE.  I WON'T BE REFERING TO THESE NUMBERS AGAIN, SO IF YOU ARE CLOSE DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE HERE.

Adam 765
Andrew 764
Colin 719
Joe 717
Rob 712
Munez 701
Folden 614
Shawn 590
Jim 501
John 458


Most of the reason why I did the scoring this way is because I was getting a little bit overwhelmed with the calculations.  If you find any scoring to be incorrect let me know.

Bowl Pick 'em

Bowl Pick'em works like this.  All of the games leading up to the BCS were worth 2 points.  The BCS games are worth 5 points, and the championship is worth 10 points.  With only the championship & Go Daddy bowl left to play let's see where we stand.

Rob 20 bowls (40 points) + 3 BCS games (15 points)= 55 points
Adam 19 bowls (38 points) + 3 BCS games (15 points) = 53 points
Munez 21 bowls (42 points) + 2 BCS games (10 points)=52 points
Andrew 18 bowls (36 points)+ 3 BCS games (15 points) = 51 points
Colin 17 bowls (34 points) + 3 BCS games (15 ponts) =49 points
Folden 19 bowls (38 points) + 2 BCS games (15 points)= 48 points
Joe 18 bowls (36 points) + 2 BCS games (10 points)=46 points
Shawn 18 bowls (36 points)+2 BCS games (10 points)=46 points
Jim 18 bowls (36 points) + 2 BCS games (10 points) = 46 points
John 4 bowls (8)points + 0 BCS games (0 points) = 8 points

The bowl game pick 'em is going to come down to these last two games.  There is a 10 point bonus for the winner of the bowl pick 'em so this could be meaningful with how close things are.

Now let's look at the NFL post season pick'em.  Each of the games this weekend was worth 5 points.  Same goes for next week.

Rob 15
Joe 15
Munez 15
Colin 15
Andrew 10
Adam 10
Shawn 5
Folden 5
Jim 0
John 0

So, our total scores now will be Regular season number + bowl pick'em + pro post season pick'em

Adam 765+53+10
Andrew 764+51+10
Colin 719+49+15
Joe 717+46+15
Rob 712+55+15=
Munez 701+52+15=
Folden 614+48+5=
Shawn 590+46+5=
Jim 501+46=
John 458+8

Overall Scores

1. Adam 828
2. Andrew 825 (-3)
3. Colin 783 (-45)
4. Rob 782 (-46)
5. Joe 778 (-50)
6. Munez 768 (60)
7. Folden 667 (-161)
8. Shawn 641 (-187)
9. Jim 547
10. John 466

So there are your standings.  Next week, I will start with these numbers, without adding all the others together again.

Next week, the bowl pick'em bonus will be awarded, as well as points for picking the AFC & NFC championship games.

Incredibly, in the AFC out of the 20 teams that the ten of us picked for the championship game, only 4 have been eliminated.  Those are from the 4 people who have picked the Steelers (Jim, Shawn, John, and Munez)

9 of us (excluding Shawn) have both NE and GB in the AFC and NFC championship, so if you get that prediction correct, don't expect to make up any ground.

As you all can see, 15 points is the difference between 3rd and 6th, and 60 points the difference between 1st and 6th.

So, next week we could see some gaps close or widen.  Good luck and suck my dick.
