2nd Annual PoP! NFL Picks Pool ---Results!!!

The 2010 NFL season has come to a close and we will see how everything hashes out in a couple days. There are some important things to keep in mind. 1) These results include the worst 2 weeks of the 17 game season removed. 2) These results include the play-off picks made week one. 3) These results are not final--in week 10 we make picks for who we thought would win the NFL player awards.

Here is the schedule for when those are announced.

January 6 (morning): defensive rookie of the year.
January 6 (afternoon): offensive rookie of the year.
January 7 (morning): comeback player of the year.
January 10: MVP.
January 13 (morning): defensive player of the year.
January 14 (morning): offensive player of the year.

THE CURRENT Standings are:

Thundermatts 171
Combo Mo 171
Harry Wang 168
Vikros 166
Rath99 166
Goof 162
Briancross 160
Denim 157
Fresh03 157
Tweed Thong 152
hrdwrkngXsoldier 143

The play-off picks did make a tiny impact on the standings, mostly because Rath99 did not make picks, and Harry some how didn't know there were two wildcard teams in each conference and shorted himself a chance at 2 points. Interestingly enough I'll share the most common play-off picks who did not make it. (especially since nobody even picked 8 of the 16):

Dallas: Would they have made it with a healthy Romo all season?
Minisota: Farve should have stayed retired.
49rs: they were in it until week 16, but hey a loosing team won their division.
Cincinati: Who dey? Dey sucked this year.
Miami: Almost everybody thought they had a chance.
New York Giants: 10 wins didn't get them in. Should have played in the west.

The teams nobody picked to make it in this year:

Seattle: They did it making history. 1st loosing team in play-offs YAY!
Kansas City: Nobody new this team would dominate the west, everybody picked San Diego or Denver.

Maybe next year guys.

This has been a lot of fun and I think Mr Cross has volunteered to take over this beast he started many years ago on that other failed corperate board we used to play on. I'll be too busy with 1st year of optometry school to be reliable. Posting the play-off version of this thing momentarily though.

Noticed nobody picked Mike Williams for offensive ROY. I think he might nab it. Possibly Ponce or Gratokowski as well. I think its really between Bradford and Williams though. They contributed the most, showed they would be around for a bit in this game and neither made the play-offs. I picked Sam when I thought the Rams would make it to the post season.

Sucks that I missed out on picking the playoff teams. I knew it would take me out of the running but I played anyway to see how I would do.

Dude thanks for putting this together. I know it takes a lot of work.

Yeah, thanks! You've done a great job with this. It's been a lot of fun.

If it makes you feel better Rath without the play-off picks you would be tied with Matts for first.

Yes it does..Thanks lol

Nobody picked Wes Welker for Comeback Player of the Year? Is Vick even eligible for that award? Its his second year back.
