Since we are approaching the conclusion of the Bowl Games, and this pool, I thought it would be a perfect time to run through some "What if" scenarios.
Considering the fact that all 4 participants have made the exact same predictions for the next 3 bowl games, I am going to, for the purpose of this post, throw those games out of the equation.
IF GEORGIA AND CLEMSON WIN THEIR SEMI-FINAL GAMES
eMBarkat10n will win the pool no matter the result of the National Championship game
If Clemson beats Georgia, LoungeLizard will move into a tie for 2nd place with VF21 (before the tiebreaker)
If Georgia wins, LoungeLizard and pdxKingsFan will be tied for 3rd place (before the tiebreaker)
IF GEORGIA AND ALABAMA WIN THEIR SEMI-FINAL GAMES
If Georgia beats Alabama, eMBarkat10n will win the pool
If Alabama beats Georgia, VF21 will win the pool, and pdxKingsFan will leapfrog over eMBarkat10n to take 2nd place in the pool
IF OKLAHOMA AND ALABAMA WIN THEIR SEMI-FINAL GAMES
VF21 will win the pool no matter the result of the National Championship game
pdxKingsFan will take 2nd place
eMBarkat10n will take 3rd place
LoungeLizard will finish in 4th place
IF OKLAHOMA AND CLEMSON WIN THEIR SEMI-FINAL GAMES
If Clemson beats Oklahoma, LoungeLizard will move up into a tie with VF21 for 1st place overall (before the tiebreaker)
eMBarkat10n will finish in 3rd place
pdxKingsFan will finish in 4th place
NOTE: If anyone finds an error in my "calculations" please point them out. I ran these scenarios on the spreadsheet that I've been using for this pool, so they should all be fairly accurate. I will admit, though, that I didn't plug in the teams and winners for the National Championship game, but rather used my mathematical skills, in order to come to the above conclusions/scenarios.
Good Luck to all!!!!
