I’m not picking but I like Magna Vista and Prince George in potential upsets. Region 3D is looking strong with Northside, Botty, Hidden Valley, Magna Vista and now Bassett, who I think is going to surprise a team or two this November. I also saw PG on Recruit804 and they look solid. Probably won’t win a playoff game this year but they’ll be a tough out next. I’m probably going to check them and Hopewell out Friday.

Honestly it makes me feel better when Liberty (Bealeton) is the underdog in the pickem weeks

Your right about PG there young and will be even better next year. I love there runningback Curtis Allen(sophomore) he is a beast. If they can play solid defense and grind the clock/shorten the game they have a shot Friday night. I look forward to watching it.

Mike, what's the playoff format this year? Leader vs last place, etc.

No, we'll have the same playoff format as last year.

Pick em Playoff Rules:

Rather than matching top seed vs low seed, everyone will compete against each other just like during the regular season. Each week we will have eliminations until a Champion is crowned. To be eligible for the playoffs you have to participate in at least 10/11 regular season weeks. Everyone that qualifies for the playoffs has an equal chance of being the Pick em Champ!

Here's how it works:

Everyone starts with 0 playoff points and points are accumulated throughout the playoffs.


At the end of Round 1 the Top 16 will advance.

At the end of Round 2 the Top 8 will advance.

At the end of Round 3 the Top 4 will advance.

At the end of Round 4 the Top 2 will advance.

At the end of Round 5 the Champion will be determined.

Ties for all rounds will be broken by who had more regular season points. If there is a tie for regular season points then the highest Week 11, 10, 9... score will be used until the tie is broken.

Thanks Mike. I had forgotten that was the format. I really like it, because it mimics the actual playoffs.

Yeah and it gives us another chance. We're near the bottom of the standings.

In my case, it's well deserved. I have been making horrible picks this season. But, like you said, everybody has an equal chance during the "second" season.
