I don't think there's any way to strategize based on others' picks for this sort of thing

Yeah, when we started this, I didn't think COVID was going to impact the playing of games.  At this point, we may just have to pull the plug

I think games where the matchups have changed should be treated as cancellations.

I agree.  But I'm also not confident we aren't getting a bunch more

If a game is cancelled then its cancelled and nothing really has to be changed

Its only when the game is still on with a substitute team and so far theres only been one

I really dont think you will see any more of these as the logistics are just to hard for everyone to overcome

No reason to cancel the Wake/Rutgers game as everyone has plenty of time to adjust if they want to

Just my opinion

Post by: ELA on December 28, 2021, 03:36:25 PM
Yeah, there appears to be very little interest, two games already have replacement teams, one game has been canceled, it's a mess. It's a mess

for any replacement teams, if i picked the team that backed out, just assume i picked the team subbed in. i think that makes sense.

or not, i don't really care. just hoping we don't get more cancellations. this bowl season is fubar.
