2013-2014: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

[Fighting Sioux 23]

Thank you for NOT making me pick either of the ME/UNH games :D

I thought about it, but liked the NE-ND and PC-UML matchups just slightly better for Hockey East this week.

Either way, you're welcome. :p:D:D

Anytime. Hopefully aygwm2 and BCeagle are able to update their prediction in time.

As for the Denver-North Dakota series this weekend, hopefully its a great series...with North Dakota taking 6 points. :p:D:D

There will be no dasher dancing this weekend, but still should be a great series with Denver taking 6 points :p:D:D

[HoosierPioneer]

Sorry for dragging down the collective pick percentage this weekend, guys. :(

[FiveHole12]

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I went 4-6 (1-4 on Saturday).

[HoosierPioneer]

Never good when you're hoping for a 3 goal Alaska comeback to get you to .300! :D

[gochiefs]

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I went 4-6 (1-4 on Saturday).

Tough week for me too....3-7...ouch!

[Siouxfaninseattle]

Don't complain - I don't dare look but I'm pretty sure I was 1-4 on Friday, and last night was probably close to the same.

[Fighting Sioux 23]

Well, not the best week for us this week. Collectively, we predicted at a clip of 43.81%. That brings our overall percentage down to 55.53%. Hopefully next week brings better predictions.

As for the bonus questions, here are the answers:
Shots on Goal by NCHC Teams on Saturday - 196 (nobody got this correct, but several people earned points)
PP or EAG by WCHA teams on Friday - 7 (97osu got this correct, along with several others earning bonus)

97osu had a perfect Friday (5-0-0, plus the correct bonus), but went 0-5-0 on Saturday. It was pretty typical for our group, as people generally had either a bad day on Friday or Saturday, but did better the other day. Driftryder, aygwm2, and myself each went 6-4-0 this weekend, the "best" out of the group.

Week 16's Top 5:
1. Laker Dude - 33 Points (5-5-0)
2. FS23 - 32 Points (6-4-0)
t3. Driftryder - 26 Points (6-4-0)
t3. aygwm2 - 26 Points (6-4-0)
t3. all bear - 26 Points (5-5-0)

This week also shook up the overall standings, as Laker Dude earned an impressive 13 bonus points en route to taking the top spot.

OVERALL STANDINGS: Top 10
1. Laker Dude - 354 Points (89-64-17)
t2. FiveHole12 - 345 Points (102-51-17)
t2. 1988 - 345 Points (93-60-17)
4. all bear - 335 Points (94-59-17)
5. Siouxfaninseattle - 319 Points (90-63-17)
6. FS23 - 317 Points (83-70-17)
7. Irish08 - 314 Points (87-66-17)
8. aygwm2 - 312 Points (76-77-17)
9. Aerman - 309 Points (86-59-15)
10. SweeneyHawksHockey - 305 Points (88-65-17)

This marks the first time since Week 7 that 4th place is 10 points or closer to 2nd place. There are 5 weeks left in the regular season (for all conferences), plus 5 weeks of post season play. Lots of points still up for grabs!

Week 17 games coming up shortly...
