The CRISIS Right

Not the most CRISES ever but a good effort nonetheless (it's the 3rd most, bronze medal baby).

Charles's pick is first because it's the one that is going to win (except Auburn).
The numbo in parentheses is the combined points up for grabs. These are known as POWER POINTS.

Here are all the games ranked by POWER POINTS (as above, the combined points wagered in CRISIS games or the difference in wagers in agreed games). POWER POINTS are the driving force behind the POWER FACTOR.

For all games, the winner that would benefit you is listed first. For CRISES that's pretty clear. For agreed games: if you have more points on the line, a shared win benefits you so our mutual pick is listed first. If I have more wagered, you benefit if we lose.
