Scoreboard (If any errors, let me know):
NinersSBChamps: 281 (GOTW 10 point bonus)
bravesnumberone: 281
Runnin: 182
weso1: 122
goldfly: 70
BlackwaterPark: 65
AerchAngel: 55
Krgrecw: 42

First off, as you can tell by the scores above, we have a tie at the end of the regular standings. Based on this week's scores, Niners gets the "#1 seed".

We are now in the bowl and playoff season. For the playoffs in this game, all that matters is the games of the College Football Playoff. Based on the standings above, the seeds in order are NinersSBChamps, bravenumberone, Runnin, then weso1. Here are the rules:

I will assign one of the two games for you guys to pick. We will go by Game of the Week rules. Which means I need a winning team and a score. I need you send me a private message with your prediction. Once I get a PM from both players in each game, I will post the picks on this thread. Once I post the picks, they are locked in and cannot be changed unless something happens that may affect the outcome of the game, such as an injury or a suspension. If that happens, I will allow a change in a prediction if you want to. The two winners will then pick the National Championship Game to determine who wins the game.

With that, here are the games:

Orange Bowl (Oklahoma vs. Clemson): weso1 vs. NinersSBChamps

Cotton Bowl (Michigan State vs. Alabama): Runnin vs. bravesnumberone

Good luck
 
We have picks in on the first matchup. Both Runnin and bravesnumberone have sent me predictions for the Cotton Bowl.

Runnin: Alabama 28, Michigan State 17
bravesnumberone: Alabama 27, Michigan State 23

Remember now, unless a major injury, suspension, or anything else that may affect the game, these picks are now locked in.

That means we are waiting for Niners and weso for their picks on the Orange Bowl.
 
OK, weso has put in his prediction. Orange Bowl picks are as follows:

weso1: Oklahoma 38, Clemson 28
NinersSBChamps: Oklahoma 39, Clemson 30
 
OK, looking at the scores, weso1 and Runnin advance to the championship round. To NinersSBChamps and bravesnumberone, thank you for your participation all year. Hope you will take part again next season.

So, it's weso1 vs. Runnin for the YouPick championship. Same rules. Need a PM with your prediction on the Clemson/Alabama game. Winner and score. Once again, when I get predictions from both of you, they will be posted and locked in.
 
To borrow a phrase from Dabo, this is bullcrap.

Two years in a row, I've been a higher seed and been bounced in the first round. The Braves would be proud.

But seriously, thanks for doing this Crimson. It's been a fun year.
 
Just for the record, I don't like either pick:happy0157:

Runnin: Clemson 30, Alabama 29
weso1: Clemson 31, Alabama 28

Closes score wins.

In my defense I'm trying to fathom how a 30-29 score would actually work. Hat is off if you pull it off.

That was a horrible prediction and I woke up this morning thinking I was screwed.

But now a Bama win and I win, right?

Yep, I think we both went in with the same thought. Pull for the underdog and the win. Your score was more intelligent despite mine being more sensical. In the end it's Clemson vs. Bama.
 
You two made this a very difficult call for me. Not only did you pick the same team, but the combined number of points scores you two predicted was exactly the same! Based on the fact that Runnin got the closest on the number of points for Bama, he is the winner of the 2015 College Football You Pick game. Congrats Runnin and weso for a great season.

Lets do it again next season, fellas.
