Well, we had our annual Calcutta wagering last night. I ended up not getting who I really wanted, but... I'm OK with where I ended up.
This year, because Bama and Clemson are SO strong, the guy split them both into two separate wagers: Bama Undefeated, and Bama with 1-loss. Same with Clemson. Other options were:
UGA Big 12 Big 10 SEC (Excluding Bama & UGA) ACC (Excl Clemson) Pac 12 and ALL others.
We do a $100 blind draw first: I got Clemson with 1-loss
For the bidding, I got Bama-Undefeated for $126 I also got PAC12 and ALL others for $45
Total Calcutta pool was $1135.
Highest bid was $305, for Clemson-Undefeated.
I'm pretty happy with my chances. Payouts go: 52% to CFP Champ 16% to CFP Runner Up 8% to both Semi FInal losers 4% to winner of Sugar, Cotton, Rose, and Orange Bowls.
In the NFL, for the $100 Blind draw, I got the NFC East (Dal, Phi, Was, NYG)
In the bidding, I really wanted the AFC East, but... the bidding went too high for me. ($165).
Instead, I ended up with AFC North (Pit,Bal,CLe, Cincy) for $12!!! and, I also bid on NFC North (Chi, Min, GB, Det) for $62
Total NFL Calcutta pool was $718
Payouts go: 60% SB Winner 20% SB Loser 10% AFC/NFC Losers
So.... I guess, I'm officially ALL ABOARD the Brown Baker Soul Train! 
And, rooting for a CFP Final that includes Undefeated BAMA beating 1-Loss Clemson!  |

I wanted the Big 12, for obvious reasons.... didn't get it. But, I did bid the other guy up to $126.
I also intentionally bid up the Big 10 (who I didn't want). They went for $130. For a minute, I thought I was stuck with them at $129.. whew! Later, the guy said he had "NO ceiling". lol

Pretty happy with my Fantasy Team... Ended up with:
QB: Baker, Cousins
RB: McCaffrey, Fournette, Sony Michel, Tarik Cohen, Lesean McCoy
WR: Julio, Adam Theilen, Golladay, Corey Davis, Allen Robinson, Hollywood Brown
TE: Hooper
DT: Rams, Cowboys
K: Fairbairn
I was a bit pissed on the Cohen pick... I was trying to get K Justin Tucker, but couldn't find him in time. Auto-Pick grabbed Cohen. But, Fairbairn was actually the #1 K last year.. so, Not too unhappy. I think Tucker will beat him this year. He's just a phenomenal kicker, and Bal will score more this year.

Last year we only had one guy in our league do auto pick and he wound up winning in all. And to make it worse, he had the #2 overall pick and auto pick selected Leveon Bell.
