NOTE: I HAD TO INPUT A WINNER FOR THE FLORIDA GAME AND I CHOSE LSU, SINCE THAT'S WHO MOST PICKED. I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND CORRECT IT IF IT GETS PLAYED, OR IT GETS CANCELLED. I'LL PROBABLY WAIT UNTIL THE SEASON IS OVER AND ONLY FIX THOSE WHO ARE IN CONTENTION. PLEASE POST IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

Guys, welcome to the 13th annual weekly pick contest, which will last the entire season and consist of 13 weekly entries.

Each week I will select 10 games from around college football, which will be posted on Sunday (or Monday at the latest). I will not include any Thursday or Friday games, just to keep things consistent with the entry deadline.

All entries will be due before noon (Eastern Time) on Saturday.

The season winner will receive a $300 Amazon gift card.

Please post in this thread if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments.

Also, I strongly suggest setting up a recurring reminder on your computer or phone. If you miss a week, you can still have fun competing with other members, but it will be really hard for you to win the contest.

Just checking my points. I think I didn't get credited all my points. I think I should have gotten 4 but with the lsu/fla that woulda gave me 5 for the week. Can you check and let me know. Checking the weekly results, it only shows 3 points.

Thanks Freak!!!

You mis-spelled Mississippi Freak in the picks. You left off one of the p's at the end of the state word. No biggy but wanted to let you know buddy. Thanks!

Tied for 18th. By far the most successful I've been. However it's mostly dumb luck and will come to an end but at least I can say I was in the top 20 once lol

Freak, could you check mine for last week (week of UT / TAM). I can't believe I got 0. Maybe I didn't get em in. Can't find a confirmation either.

Another 5 point/win week here...and still climbed up in the rankings...only 10 points behind the lead pack.

With that, got teh coin warmed up and here is where it lead me this week:
Miami, FL - Flipped two times on this one
Michigan St - MSU in a slump but not as bad as N'western
Florida - As much as I want to pick against teh gators, I need the points
Pittsburgh - Again, relying heavily on the coin
Tennessee - BUCK FAMA...we TENNESSEE !!!
Mississipi - Arky takes another one on the nose
Georgia - Vandy just gosh awful
Stanford - ND just gosh awful (see the trend)
Ohio St - gonna be a HELLUVA game here..think OSU has a little more talent
Arizona - USC in tryouts for a new coach

Good luck again everyone and ENJOY the games !!!

FREAK,
I think the only fair thing to do in regards to the LSU / FLA. game is to give everyone the win or a loss (your choice). Those of us who picked FLA assumed they would be playing at home with their starting QB back, and now they have to play at LSU with or w/o their starting QB (no one knows at this point). Playing at home vs. playing on the road in the SEC against quality teams make a HUGE difference. Seems like the only fair option to me. Thanks.

Fair point. I can't go back and change it now. However, we may just have to add one point to anyone who chose Florida.

Thanks. Having to go from playing a home game in the "Swamp" to playing an away game in "Death Valley" would make anyone change their initial pick. That's the point I was making.
