    Let's just pick the winners, please.

    12-20 games to pick should be perfect.

    Let's go with all the Top 25 games and SEC games.

    Updated the participants. We're now up to 13.

    Will be straight up pick 'em. No spread or ranking of the picks.

    I'll try to get at least 12 good games each week where the spread is under 10 points. Might be difficult this first week as I've only found 9 games that meet the criteria. I added CU v CSU since it's a rivalry game and the last number I saw was CU favored by 11. I'll include all of the SEC and Top 25 games that meet that criteria.

    Thanks for the input and suggestions.

    I am in.....sounds fun. Thanks. ( If someone were to just pick oppiste me all year they would stand a pretty decent chance of taking this contest.) Of course if you take spreads out of the equation......I might be ok.

    OK, fasten your seat belts college football fans. Here's the slate of games for week 1. You can either make your picks here on the forum or PM 'em to me. Your choice. If you make 'em in the thread, bold 'em or color them differently so they stand out.

    The games run from next Thursday, September 3rd to Monday the 7th, so your picks will have to be made before the kickoff of the first game which is scheduled for 6:00 PM on the 3rd.

    South Carolina vs North Carolina St

    Troy vs Bowling Green

    Oregon vs Boise St

    Minnesota vs Syracuse

    Baylor vs Wake Forest

    Georgia vs Oklahoma St

    Missouri vs Illinois

    Va Tech vs Alabama

    LSU vs Washington

    Colorado St U vs Colorado U

    Cincinnati vs Rutgers

    Miami Florida vs Florida St

    Good luck to all. :thumb: & :geauxtige

    Senior moment. :eek:

    On a more serious note, I'll go with what the majority wants. If they want to keep it, we'll keep it. If they don't, we won't.

    Sound good?

    I'm in.

    If you put the LSU game in, I would maybe pick against the spread on that one game. Every week, except for 2 or 3, everyone will pick LSU and it will be a wash.

    I also wouldn't put match-ups like Troy - Bowling Green, just because of a small spread. It is an otherwise worthless game to watch....

    Just my thoughts. Thanks a lot for doing the pick-em this year!! :thumb:
