That will probably be the only one i get right lol
Just as an FYI, I just noticed a problem with the pick 'em. It looks like The Toy picked some games right, that were calculated as wrong. There could be some the other way around, too. I'm not sure, just yet, if this affects everyone, but I'm going to be looking into it today to try to figure out what went wrong, and how to get it fixed.
That said, what you're seeing now as the scores may not be completely accurate but, hopefully, they'll be fixed by the end of the day.
If anyone else does notice one that's wrong, please let me know so I'll have at least another example to look at when trying to figure out what's wrong and how to fix it.

After looking into this, I think what happened was I processed The Toy's pick 'em picks before I processed the rankings. Therefore, it picked winners based on last week's rankings instead of the current ones. The good news is that I don't believe anyone else will be affected by this. The bad news is that now I have to go in and manually check all 30 picks to see if they're right/wrong, get them corrected, and re-process the scoring.
Again, nobody else (picks, scores, etc) should be affected.

Congrats to @CoachRose95 on winning the week 8 pick 'em! After also winning week 4, he becomes the first member of the year to win multiple weeks. This man knows his six-man football y'all!
Just as an update on the bug I posted about this morning. I didn't get a chance to get the picks updated for The Toy today, and won't have a chance to do them before everything is updated tomorrow either. So, The Toy's record for week 8 will remain incorrect for several days until I can get it fixed. Again, this doesn't seem to affect anyone else. I just wanted to be transparent here so everyone would know what's going on when The Toy's record randomly changes in the middle of the week.
Now I just gotta hope I process things in the right order tomorrow afternoon so it doesn't happen again.

Wow, we have a tie! I never would've thought, especially with the point system for scoring, that we'd have a tie for first place, but here we are.
Congrats to @Happy99 and @SimplyPut for BOTH winning the week 9 pick 'em!

There is going to be a small delay on getting this week's pick 'em set up. Before I pick the games, I want to make sure I have all the TAPPS playoff bracket matchups correct, just in case any of those games are ones that would be good picks for the pick 'em. I'll update here, and on our home page, once the pick 'em is ready for the week.
Congratulations to @oldfolks on being this week's pick 'em winner for second week in a row
If I counted correctly there are 34 games next week. Maybe instead of 30 pick 'em games we could pick all 34.
The system is programmed to pick 30 games, and I won't have a chance to re-code that thing to pick all the games until probably tomorrow night, if then, so it's probably not something that can happen.
It is a good idea, though, that I wish I'd thought of sooner. Before next year I'll get it programmed that if there are less than 40 games, it will just pick them all.

I enjoy the pick em’. I will more than likely participate no matter what, but after the season is complete maybe people could weigh in on likes and dislikes and find a most popular method. I will start, again I will participate no matter what but the 30 games each week to me was already a bit much, great the first few weeks but became a chore as season progressed. But I’m no quitter so I made my selections….lol. Anyway I would like to see a separation of public and private. I for one could then just focus on my interest which is UIL six man games. Maybe top 10 games from D1 and top 10 from D2 each week. Nothing against private schools just too many factors and unknowns for me to truly form any idea of best probable team. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for having it Mike.
Every year, so far, I've made a thread talking about things I'm wanting to change during the off-season, and part of that thread is also asking for suggestions on things that folks would like to see changed and/or added. Granted, I can't get to them all, and some would be more work than they're worth, but I truly look at, and consider, every single suggestion that's put to me.
This year will be no different. I'll, likely, start that thread during the "off-week", between the TAPPS State Championships and the UIL State Championships. I did copy your suggestion into last year's thread so I'll see it when I create the next one in a week or so.
As for the suggestion, though, I don't see it as a bad one (pick X number of games from each division). The only problem I see is that, much like the private school fan polls, there will likely be little, to no, participation at the private school level. Not that it's a terrible thing. If they don't want to participate, that's fine. The problem is that it would take quite a bit of time to do the work of coding all that out to keep things separate. I'm still slightly dreading trying to code all the separate playoff bracket challenges next year.
Anyways, thank you for the suggestion. There will probably be a slight change for next year, but we'll see what I can get done.
