2022 College Football Pick 'Em Contest

Post by jpfalcon09 »

We did this every year for awhile and I'm bringing it back for funsies. Weekly picks will include all MAC games along with top games chosen by Yahoo. It will be spread based this time around as opposed to confidence points.

To join, click the link: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.co ... /joingroup

Group ID is 1775
Password is ZiggyZoomba

Prizes this year as follows:
1st place - Gift card of your choosing ($150 total)
2nd place - Gift card to Elite Collegiate Apparel ($75)
3rd place - Gift card to Elite ($25)

Any questions let me know. First picks will be available beginning August 22nd.

I’m pretty sure I was a 2 time champ way back win so I guess I’ll defend my titles. I’m older and way more forgetful so I’m sure I’ll miss a week now.

Thanks for doing this Jeremy.

Even if the team has a bad season, we'll at least have a reason to pay attention from week to week :supz:

Just a heads up, Yahoo is not showing any pick'em games for Week 0 (8/27). I would however double check next week to see if they make any updates to that. I'll try to stay on top of it.

Duh. Spread based. You said it in your first post.

I will need to revisit my Saturday picks. Ugh.

Crap. I definitely picked them straight up too. I get frustrated with my students during the week for not reading directions, and here I am doing the same thing. Some things never change!

Can’t come from behind and win without losing a little first, I guess. Lol

If this is anything like the hockey picks, you won’t finish last. That honor is solely reserved for me…and I read the directions.
ROLL ALONG!!!

If I hadn't re-jiggered my Saturday picks I would have had an additional 7 points. My week 1 takeaway is that this isn't hockey.

JP, there isn't one of those Waffle House challenges as penance for finishing last, is there? https://twitter.com/LeeOSanderlin/statu ... 1552253954
