[ThEgReAtOnE]

TGO has predicted Arlington Bowie and Allen to be State Champs. Heh, heh, heh! :D

[svhorns]

awww... do weeeeeeee have to? ;)

[85Roughneck]

I've put together the annual Bracket Maker picks page. You must register with Bracket Maker (just an e-mail and pword) before you will see the Predict It! link above each of the brackets at the following page:

Predict the Brackets (http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=298118)

Picks due by Thursday (12 am) before Bracket Maker marks them as late entries.

Post your championship picks, darkhorse favorites or upset alerts here when you are done.

I'm following the instructions just like the websitre says. I have my password and all but there is no button to push that says predict it in the upper right corner. Not that I can see anyways. :mad: frustrating

It's in the upper left just above the brackets when you go to the Bracket Maker link to the brackets. Click Predict It! and it will ask you to login if you aren't already.

I'm logging in. I did that 5 times and it keeps taking me to the instructions.

[jrock210]

I said
D1- Judson pulled off a win against Permian (who beat Trinity)
D2- Smithson Valley over Abilene in State also.

[85Roughneck]

I'm logging in. I did that 5 times and it keeps taking me to the instructions.

Ok, I got it now and I've made my predictions.

[TWHS Alum]

most people are picking the semi-finals to be the woodlands vs. trinity in d1 i think that would be a really good game and i would love to see that game

[KatyTigerDad0407]

I got Round Rock Stoney Point and Cy Creek:D

[Pinion]

It appears to me that they want me to predict the entire playoffs week by week right now.
WTH? One wrong pick and you screw the whole process up. Or least that's the way it looks. I'm also at work trying to answer phones, talk to hawt latinas and do that. Maybe I should just talk to the hawt latinas and do the playoff picks when I get home. And am less distracted. lol

[bowiedawgs01]

Yep, it's like March Madness. One wrong pick, and you're fooked.

[CPMScoach]

I got Round Rock Stoney Point and Cy Creek:D

Wow Cy Creek, I would be honored to loose to a state champ...hell Stony Point would make that too :).

[bowiedawgs01]

Wow, 4 people other than me picked Bowie over Madison. 3 of those people had us going to the Final Four.

:D

[svhorns]

Just finished my D-1 bracket...

Semis
Trinity vs The Woodlands

North Shore vs Madison


Finals

Trinity vs North Shore = North Shore state champs!!! at least in my bracket

D-II is next...

[stroz]

It is asking for a tournament name....do we create our own tournament or is there one already created for this board? If so, what's the name?

[MemorialMustangs]

Memorial sweeps past Lamar, Pearland, Northshore, Judson, and Trinity on the march to our first state title ;)... Ill admit - it will be tough... But we can handle it:D

Abilene is my other state champ

[CenTex22]

D1 - Round Rock Stony Point
D2 - Abilene

Out on a limb a little this year.

D1
Darkhorses - Rowlett, Cinco Ranch
Upset Alert - Cinco over North Shore (Rd 3)

D2
Darkhorses - Copperas Cove, SA Reagan
Upset Alert - Round Rock over Cy Ridge

[The Original]

D1: Pearland over Trinity in an epic game

D2: Abilene beats Lufkin in the semis and goes on to defeat Katy for it all.

[HomeofChampions'06]

D1 - Round Rock Stony Point
D2 - Abilene

Out on a limb a little this year.

D1
Darkhorses - Rowlett, Cinco Ranch
Upset Alert - Cinco over North Shore (Rd 3)

D2
Darkhorses - Copperas Cove, SA Reagan
Upset Alert - Round Rock over Cy Ridge

I like what you're thinking. I picked Hightower over North Shore and then Cinco Ranch over Hightower.

[NorthTexUmp]

I picked Allen over North Shore & Abilene over SV

[stroz]

What am I missing? I log on and select the Division I bracket and can't do a thing.

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out.

[KT2000]

My D1 picks are in:

Trinity vs. The Woodlands
North Shore vs. SA Madison

Trinity over North Shore in the state championship. Ironically, I picked the exact same final outcome for D1 last year. It was one game away from happening, so maybe I'll get it right this time.

[stroz]

way way out on a limb. I should really use my brain a little more.

Division I: Clear Lake over the Woodlands (I want the rematch without the fumbles)

[svhorns]

My D1 picks are in:

Trinity vs. The Woodlands
North Shore vs. SA Madison

Trinity over North Shore in the state championship. Ironically, I picked the exact same final outcome for D1 last year. It was one game away from happening, so maybe I'll get it right this time.

that's my exact final 4 with North Shore beating Trinity

[85Roughneck]

Ok, I got it now and I've made my predictions.

D1 champs = Trinity Trojans over Northshore
D2 champs = Katy Tigers over Abilene

[KT2000]

that's my exact final 4 with North Shore beating Trinity

I always had you pegged as a smart feller.

[youtellatale]

Abilene over West Brook for D2, other than that, I'll think about it later.

Sleeper: Midland High, reference 2002 when they were blown out in district, finished third and made the state championship only to lose on a long pass for a TD very late.

[HomeofChampions'06]

Division I
Odessa Permian vs The Woodlands
Cinco Ranch vs Converse Judson

The Woodlands vs Converse Judson

Division II
Abilene vs Copperas Cove
Katy vs Smithson Valley

Abilene vs Smithson Valley

[TheScout]

It's funny that almost everybody picked Trinity to either win state, or get beat by the person pickings personal team. In other words people are saying......Trinity will beat EVERYBODY else, ....but not my team.

I did not know who I would pick in DIV 2 and so I just went one game at a time, and it just happened to be S Valley

[dragons08]

Man D2 is a little tough this year. Nobody really stands out. I'm gonna go with SV for D2.

It's kind of funny reading through the "leaderboard" and seeing people's names that skim the board, but don't post that I know.

[ChanSHS]

North Shore over Trinity

Abilene over Katy

[Tut]

D1
Allen over Woodlands
SA Madison over Pearland
Allen wins

D2
Arlington Bowie over Naaman Forest
Katy over Smithson Valley
Bowie wins

In D1, I think the Trinity/Allen winner will take it. Didn't take Trinity because of the difficulty of repeating. If the Trojans can do it, good for them.

D2 is somewhat homeristic and superstitious. When I've picked Katy to go all the way without their overpowering teams (2000 & 2007), they lose. Picked them to lose to Lufkin in 2003. Maybe this will work. :D

[cyfallsbooster2]

Abilene and ET. Champs.

[cyfallsbooster2]

D1
Allen over Woodlands
SA Madison over Pearland
Allen wins

D2
Arlington Bowie over Naaman Forest
Katy over Smithson Valley
Bowie wins

Let me be the first to tell you that you are wrong, very wrong. :D

Talk about starting :Censor:

[Dynastybegan86]

Katy is out in the 2nd round.:cool:

I guess will be going to the round 2 game together, along with C-Dub, so I can tell you to your face.....YOU ARE WRONG:D Stranger things have happened, we did lose to Cinco. Humble will be difficult to beat, no doubt.

[Dynastybegan86]

I think he numbered his feathers for just this occasion:D

No game can be taken for granted.

[AE 8008]

is it too late to fill out the brackets?

[KT2000]

is it too late to fill out the brackets?

You can fill out a bracket, but it will be batched in with late predictions. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to set a specific time for the deadline. We have games tonight, so I had to set the deadline for today.

(shhhh ... thanks for the support, cyfallsbooster.)

[KT2000]

I have Trinity and Arl. Bowie winning state championships. I don't guarantee accuracy, but I will have fun watching it all unfold.

[cyfallsbooster2]

2 for 2 so far! I must be jumping out to a COMMANDING lead!:Music

[Old Fart]

D1 - Round Rock Stony Point
D2 - Abilene

Out on a limb a little this year.

D1
Darkhorses - Rowlett, Cinco Ranch
Upset Alert - Cinco over North Shore (Rd 3)

D2
Darkhorses - Copperas Cove, SA Reagan
Upset Alert - Round Rock over Cy Ridge

Wow, did any of these come true. I am not trying to be a smarta$$ here but the upsets have just flooooooored me.

[Old Fart]

I have Trinity and Arl. Bowie winning state championships. I don't guarantee accuracy, but I will have fun watching it all unfold.

For some reason I can't stay with Trinity this year. I will eat the old black crow if needed, yet I dont think it will be needed.

[paradox169]

I believe my D2 bracket is messed up completley now with AHS gone :Censor:

[cyfallsbooster2]

I believe my D2 bracket is messed up completley now with AHS gone :Censor:

No kidding! Mansfield beats Abilene?!!!!:mad:

Good job, Mansfield.:notworthy

[Ramz]

...can i get a mulligan?:ninja:

[AE 8008]

i had Abilene winning D2 and Judson going to the finals in D1...ehh not so much:p

[jrock210]

Well my D1 bracket is over with lol

[KT2000]

The standings should include updates after the 1st round now.

[CKE]

The standings should include updates after the 1st round now.

I dont think I fully understand the leader board. How can I have 30 points and be ranked 175?

[cyfallsbooster2]

I dont think I fully understand the leader board. How can I have 30 points and be ranked 175?

Because that braket maker website doesn't like you.










:D

[svhorns]

I dont think I fully understand the leader board. How can I have 30 points and be ranked 175?
I think it's because you predicited late... I did too and I scored a 29... and I'm 179... the deadline was 12:00am and it shows you submited your predictions a tad bit too late... I did my D-1 bracket on time and it's accurate...

[GoOwls]

It's been a week since anybody talked about the Bracket Challenge...where is everybody?

[85Roughneck]

I still have 8 teams alive in my D2 bracket including my final two which are Katy and Copp Cove.

[GoOwls]

I still have 8 teams alive in my D2 bracket including my final two which are Katy and Copp Cove.

In D-2, I'm in a tie for 4th with 52 points and I have 11 teams alive and 7 of the 8 possible teams to advance.....I'm dead in the bottom bracket of Region 3.

In D-1, I'm in 1st place with 50 points and have 11 teams alive, but only 5 of the possible 8 teams to advance, and after this week, if I pick up the Pearland win, I'm dead in Regions 3 and 4, either way.

I have all 8 picks in Region 1 & 2 alive in D-1 and D-2.

My champions are Trinity and Arlington Bowie.

[TheDarkSide15]

Ok.... maybe im missing something... but how many rounds are in the playoffs...

Im look at it like this...

Mojo vs. Allen.

Mojo vs Trinity/Arlington... that would put us in the finals NO???

thats only four games.... I thought it was five to get to the finals?

Six rounds....win five and you get to play in the finals.

Round 1 = 64 teams = 32 games = 32 winners
Round 2 = 32 teams = 16 games and winners
Round 3 (this week) = 16 teams = 8 games and winners
Round 4 = 8 teams = 4 games and winners
Round 5 = 4 teams = 2 games and winners
Round 6 = 2 teams = 1 game and State Champ.

It's just like the Final Four bracket in college basketball.

[TheDarkSide15]

I only have 8 teams left in D1....?? Im so confused...

[TheDarkSide15]

I got it.... I havent been keeping up with reg 3 and 4

[Ramz]

Any updates for Division 2?

I'm proud of my wife, Carol Henry. She is such a HUGE HS football fan. She has not missed a single Allen game this year.She is a homer and picked Allen to win DIV 1. I'm not gonna talk about my picks.

Katy will most likely beat Wylie as well, although it is a very good matchup and both teams have been playing really well.
