Athankyou.
Hopefully more will follow - my friends are a little slow on the uptake so far in signing up, lol.
For those that don't know about the pick 'em set up, you pick against the spread for Top 25 games and various other big games during a given week. I consider it good practice for - or proof that you shouldn't in my case, lol - betting for real.

I felt that way too when I made my picks today so I just changed it - all I needed was to know one other person felt that way, lol. I set it to go by only AP Top 25 games, but unfortunately, now everyone has to make their picks again that already did. All previous picks were wiped out.
That's my bad - I just didn't anticipate their being so many games the way I had it set up.
At least everyone has until Saturday still to make the week 1 picks.

Yeah that's why I bumped it back up yesterday and was planning to do until Saturday. I think everyone got an e-mail from Yahoo as well so we'll see.
Welcome Frenchy!

Thanks. This week I'm determined to prove it was all a fluke!! 
I didn't call my team "I_Rogue's Coin Flips" for nothing.

I'm in, not that great picking against the spread. And I know it's two weeks late, but I'm in for the fun of it.

Welcome 214... I'm sure you'll be passing me up quickly if I have a few more weeks like last week, lol. I_Rogue is still leading everyone riding off a great first week. We'll see how long that lasts

I_Rogue finally had a bad week with 5 correct picks and the field was able to catch up. Only 15 games I think this week so there could be some real low numbers posted, lol. The top of the leaderboard is pretty much dominated by those from the board, maybe we do know what we're talking about here lol.
Top 5 through 4 weeks...
47 - Remember the Orangemen
46 - Bancroft Glory
46 - Wild Monkeys
45 - Saturated Toilet Paper
45 - I_Rogue's Coin Flips

Maybe I'm not as bad as I though, I've got 25 points over the last two weeks. That would put me right up there with the leaders if I started at the beginning.
How in the world is Oklahoma only favored by 4 over Texas?!?!? Unless they forget how to play defense they are gonna blow out Texas.

It was indeed a rough week for the group - Frenchy took the week by going 8-7. Most people only had between 5-7 correct picks; sad week for us lol. 18 picks this week with a Friday game and I expect everyone to take Toledo I'd post the top 5 of the leaderboard, but we're all tied at 52. Let's get some seperation this week people!
