    Rules
    1) Go to this link (
    http://www.sportsnetwork.com/?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot/odds/cfb-odds.htm)
    2) Choose a team that you think will upset the odds
    3) Come back to this thread and post your pick in the following way:
    Screen Name, Pick, Point Spread
    For example (saz_1, LSU over ASU, 1.5 points)
    4) If your team wins the game straight up, you will get the number of points that they were an underdog by (i.e. in the above example, I would get 1.5 points).
    5) If your team loses the game straight up, you will lose half the number of points they were an underdog by (i.e. in the above example, I would lose 0.75 points).
    6) If you are joining the game late in the season, you will lose 5 points for every week you didnt make a pick.
    7) Multiple people can make the same pick.
    8) If you want to change your pick, please copy and paste the entire list and change your pick while reposting. Saves me the hassle.

    9) Enjoy, and please use the format I suggested above.

    ah - I see - looks like the 3 others hadn't posted picks yet - I'll stick with my pick. I guess I can afford a little risk given my sizeable lead. :hihi:
