After Kentucky Choke Job

 Congratulations Kentucky.  You did it.  You did exactly what the “prevent” defense is designed to do, and that is prevent you from winning.  After that last drive by Clemson, Kentucky deserves to lose that game, and if there are people in Kentucky that care about football more than they care about basketball, they should be irate at the head coach and definitely consider getting a different defensive coordinator.

This clarifies a few things in the bowl pool, as Dennis R. racked up 40 points compliments of Kentucky’s choke job.  That means he is back over 50% for 1st place and has a roughly 6/7 chance of winning something.

It also means that we have less than half the pool still alive for something, as there are only 34 people that have not been eliminated from all payouts, so congratulations if you are still alive.

Here is the updated matrix:

So, because two games are going at the same time, there are going to be some people that are eliminated because a combination of losses knocked them out, where one single game did not.  I am only going give the eliminations for the 2nd game only.  Pay attention to the matrix after the Liberty Bowl, as you could potentially be out, especially if you lost both games.
