Some of you may remember the college football challenge that valeogut ran last year...it was generally well received so I decided to pick it up and run it this year. The premise of the game is simple...pick the winners (no spread this year, for the sake of the person keeping track of scores

) of the 10 selected contests for the week. At the end of the week, I'll let everyone know the result of each game, a leaderboard of the correct picks by each person for the week, and if there is enough participation, I'll even keep a running tally of correct picks for the entire season.

Hopefully we get plenty of people joining up because it will be no fun to win all the bragging rights if there are only 3 or 4 people taking part!

Gosh, and here I thought I was being crafty by picking against the grain...well, I suppose my homer FSU pick will at least mean that one of us will be assured of being in last place alone following this week's action after all those upsets we picked never come to fruition.
