Finally the week has come... two 'easy' semifinal games to pick, no spreads involved!
Semifinal games are worth 3 points each, and the championship game is worth 5. I'm putting the championship game on this form too just to try to catch people who might forget after this week... but I think I'll open a final vote still if you want to change your pick/predicted MOV after the semifinals are decided. If you don't submit a championship ballot, I'll take whatever you had on this semifinals form.

2024 Results Spreadsheet
'Any other result' was the proper choice in 5 of 5 games in round 1, and 4 of 6 games in round 2... but it was WRONG in round 3/quarterfinals. People that picked 'Any other result' this week went 0 for 4... ringthebells and previously first-place Yoteforever had no faith in the top-4 from the entire season, picking against the spread in all 4 games, and were rewarded with zero points for their efforts. In fact, only Roy correctly picked USD to win by 9+, as everyone else gave UC Davis too much credit as well.
8 people correctly picked NDSU to win by 24, two picked a MOV of 14 in the USD-UCD game, and nearly everyone else underestimated the lopsided scores of MSU/SDSU/USD in particular.
The standings have now been shaken up quite significantly. There is a 6-way tie for first, and a handful more still within striking distance.
