Yahoo College Pick'em! League

[ShibbyHill]

Good Evening all,

Just an FYI,

If anyone is interested or a huge fan of college football, I am running a College Pick'em League off of yahoo this season from my site (http://www.shibbyshack.com) Pick the winners of all the top25 games played this season on a weekly basis! I wanted to make it interesting so the point spreads count! :)

The games coming up this weekend (the 4th) is week 1... so you aren't too late to sign up for this! *The USC and other games played this past weekend aren't factored in. I'm also working up on getting some prizes for the 1st place winner. (leaning towards a gift card somewhere)

Awesome!... looks to be a lot of fun this fall!

The deadline to make your picks this week is Sat, Sep 4 at 11:55 am

If there was a Thursday game this week it would be 5 mins before that game for all your picks to be set :)

[L3thal Veteran]

Now lets get all the Neowinians to join the fun :D

[mattmatik]

I'm in. I'll lose for sure, I never go against the Gators even on spreads - and they are notorious for never covering.

[L3thal Veteran]

I picked all the underdogs :yes:

Or did I? :shifty:

[Hupp]

I'm in...

[ShibbyHill]

Awesome, we got 11 "pickers" so far... let's keep it going!

[BroChaos Veteran]

Ewww. Michigan...

Guess we'll see if they really do have the "best" recievers in D1 NCAA this year...

however, they always tend to lose one early :) which I always love

hehe

[BroChaos Veteran]

hehe, it's really gonna come down to the backfield and the O-line. they looked promising in their limited playing time last year, but if we can't run the ball, then they are just gonna drop 8 and we won't have a prayer with the passing game. michigan gets its strength from having a balanced offense.

but anways, when it's non-conference play, i'm 100% pro big ten, even if that does involve pulling for the buckeyes or spartans.

[ShibbyHill]

Yeah go Big 10

JUST A REMINDER TO EVERYONE ELSE...

You can still join this College Pick'em League - Just make sure to have all your picks done by 11:55 EST AM Saturday the 4th (Tomorrow) to get points for this week!!!

ALSO PASS THIS ALONG TO ANY OTHER COLLEGE FBALL FANS OUT THERE!!

Shibby!

[BroChaos Veteran]

well damn, msu just lost to rutgers....embarassing....

[L3thal Veteran]

I can't believe Rutgers won :o

[BroChaos Veteran]

i know. it wasn't one of the picks, but i would've picked msu....they might be the bottom of the league this year....

[ShibbyHill]

Just a reminder, i notice a lot of peeps havent made their picks yet... you have until 7:55PM EST tomorrow night before the FSU vs MIAMI game to make em!

Good Luck!

Joe

[L3thal Veteran]

Who shall I pick? The Canes or the mighty Noles? Who knows :shifty:

[BroChaos Veteran]

holy shat, who is troy? and how did they beat mizzou??? that has got to be one of the craziest upsets ever..........troy's only been div 1a for 4 years!!

[L3thal Veteran]

Best game of the weekend - Georgia vs. S. Carolina :yes:

[BroChaos Veteran]

just thought i'd bump this, to see how everyone is doing. glad to see that some people are still participating :)

it's a pretty close race there at the top.

all these games with these huge spreads are so hard to call. don't forget your picks are due FRIDAY.

[L3thal Veteran]

I'm right behind you :angry:

[BroChaos Veteran]

haha, i know. :p

i managed to widen the gap to 2...

man, it's so tough...i never know what to do. i can never seem to do better than about 50%....

[L3thal Veteran]

I got over 50% once so far. This weekend will be tough because of the margin of victory they give us in the spreadsheet. Lots of tough choices, but I made mine ;)
