Here are The Rules if you have any questions. Sorry, we're not taking any new participants. And for current participants, please note that you must make a pick at least once every three weeks to remain in the competition.

Please use the colon after your moniker ... I use a macro to enter your picks on a spreadsheet and the macro relies on the colon to get it properly entered.

PPD Standings after Saturday's Games (01-23)

  • Drake continues to shine with a 14-point win over visiting Wichita State (64-78). Wichita held the Bulldogs to just 39 points earlier this season there.
  • Southern Illinois holds off Illinois State in OT, 80-81.
  • ATTF and I talked at today's game about how neither of us could pick against the Gophers even though MSU +2 seemed pretty good. We held to our principles and ... my pick covered (Wake Forest -6.5; won by 12) but ATTF's didn't (Vandy -14.5; won by only 8).
  • MSU was the consensus pick with 8 selecting Sparty. And we know how that turned out.
  • Today's Picks: 14 wins; 10 losses; and 0 pushes for a 0.583 winning percentage.
  • YTD Picks: 1029 wins, 983 losses and 51 pushes for a 0.511 record
  • Consensus pick is Mich State (+2) with 8 picks -- they win outright much to true fans' chagrin.
  • YTD Consensus Picks: 43 wins, 41 losses and 3 pushes for a 0.512 record
