College Pick ‘Em: Coin Toss Version

I decided as random as the outcome of collegiate football games, I’m going to leave it up to fate to decide my picks.

For each game, I will choose who will win by flipping a penny sitting here on my desk. Heads will be home team, tails the other. To pick my confidence, I will shake 10 coins in my hand and sort by number of “heads” sides. For each tie, I will do this process again until they are sorted. Lastly, for the tie breaker, I have picked 1 Quarter, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 4 pennies. For each team, I shake them up, and I record the score of the total coins which show “heads” up.

Here goes Week 1. (The bold team is my pick)

  1. Washington Huskies at Brigham Young Cougars (9/1)
  2. Connecticut Huskies at Michigan Wolverines (7/3, 6/4)
  3. UCLA Bruins at Kansas State Wildcats (7/3, 5/5)
  4. Purdue Boilermakers at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (6/4, 7/3, 4/6)
  5. Kentucky Wildcats at Louisville Cardinals (6/4, 7/3, 3/7)
  6. Illinois Fighting Illini at Missouri Tigers (6/4, 6/4)
  7. LSU Tigers at North Carolina Tar Heels (6/4, 3/7)
  8. Oregon State Beavers at TCU Horned Frogs (5/5, 7/3)
  9. Colorado Buffaloes at Colorado State Rams (5/5, 5/5)
  10. Cincinnati Bearcats at Fresno State Bulldogs (5/5, 4/6)

Tiebreaker: Cincinnati Bearcats – 12, Fresno State Bulldogs – 17

Good luck! I setup a group if you want to play too!
