Let’s do it!

Log in, go

College football is freakishly overrated.
I have to her about the SEC garbage all the time.

But it’s still fun to make picks

I don't like Yahoo.
Michigan beasts in Sugar Bowl.

ESPN >>> Yahoo
However, I'm in.
I'm doing a pick'em for ESPN, Yahoo and a real-life one.

Switch it to ESPN and I will be signed up before you can say Gerald R. Ford played for Michigan or we put an entire shuttle team in space.

I didn’t know ESPN had one, I just heard about this. What’s the difference? Picking games is picking games.

I don't know if they do. I just don't want accounts everywhere.

KF, you can sign in with Facebook or Gmail instead of creating a Yahoo account, or at least that's what it said.
I don't know anything about college football, but I'm going to pick games anyway.
EDIT: Okayy, I'm even more clueless than I thought I was.... How exactly do you go about picking games?

It's pretty much too late to do this, because 3 of the games are already finished. I didn't even make any picks.

Aw, darn.
In that case, I bet on the long-shot team.

That’s easy to overcome. I set it to straight picks, so you get 1 point for correct picks and 0 for incorrect.

Once you join the group, select ‘Create New Pick Set’ under ‘My Picks & Groups’
Choose your preferences, click continue.
Then just choose who you think will win each game, and at the bottom enter the tie breaker scores and submit your form.

I can’t see your picks so I don’t know if you made them right, but you’re listed in the group so that’s a good sign.

I finally entered my picks... today.

I... forgot about this.
But I clicked "Submit Picks," so maybe now I've got it right. And apparently I guessed correctly on three games.

For coming in late, AE, you're doing a fairly good job of massacring our league.

I haven’t checked the standings recently, but I don’t care because I’m not going to change anything. I was totally clueless on just about every game, so I just picked who sounded good.

In this league, I'm running away with it. In my real-life league, I'm actually like tied for 4th place.
