Granted I love football, the stewey's head shaped, not the copa mundal type so much, but bball is definitely a personal favorite - and with a greater frequency of viewing events, I think I understand it more. I certainly follow it more precisely (i think).
So of course I want to put this thinking to the test: to say I feel I know bball better than fball isn't to say I know much, but I'm wondering how I square up with the sportier folks out there - granted I could run the table on club ultimate matchups - and most college games.
Please let me know if someone already had this worked out and we can use a prearranged URL or software piece.
We all pool together teams we'd like to follow from college hoops day one through early april - local ACC and a few (sec? big east) other conference favorites and we pick their games weekly-ish; the winner and the spread or total points. (they're already talking about Calipari and Memphis on sports radio for some reason) We keep a database tracking the picks - 1 for a win 2 with the closest spread - and tally points through the season.
Would you all be interested in starting that with the onset of college ball?
eh?

I would. However I'm not sure of anything you just said, regarding how this whole situation would work other than we pick games against the spread.
so this probably means that in addition to my inability to clearly communicate on a blog, there's not an existing site, etc that supports this idea.
Here's a possible more detailed look at the idea.
For the week (mon-sun) of Jan 6-13
some potential games to consider (mostly ACC) include:
(t-bone theoretical picks)
Jan 7
UNC at Clemson (UNC by 5)
Jan 8
Purdue at MSU (MSU by 7
Georgetown at Depaul (Hoyas by 22)
BYU at Wake (BYU by 8)
Florida at Alabama (UF by 13)
Jan 9
Duke at Temple (dook by 9)
Ga Tech at UGA (Tech by 7)
If I pick 4 right and two inside the margin, I'd have six points for those three nights of games.
Each week we pull about a dozen games to pick and tally results on a total points spreadsheet as we go.
I was even thinking that a different person can pull the games to weigh in on each week.
At the end of regular season, we crown a winner and then go for all with NCAA bracket time.
and I'm gonna use preview more often.
Very understandable now. So we are picking winners, 1 pt, and then if we pick the spread correctly, we get another pt? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by inside the margin. I am much like a robot that I know absolutely nothing until you program it in. Then I know it forever.
