We are using Yahoo College Pick'em.

You do not have to play the entire season, but if you want to you can.

The challenge is for the first two weeks.

I am using a confidence picks pool. 1 is your least confident game and upwards from there.

Picks are due Friday at 7:55pm EDT this week.

[Editor's Note: Just because this post is too short, I decided to add a photo. I hope no one minds.]

Editor, why do you have to go spreading pictures of my girlfriend all over the internet?

I'm rooting for you Burt. Even though a lot of your picks are questionable and weird.

This made me laugh. I wish I knew college football well enough to make my picks. But, I don't, so I'll just watch you destroy (hopefully, with the kind of smack you are talkin!)whoever opposes you. I can't bring myself to try making picks when games like UCLA beating Oklahoma are happening. I would fail miserably.

I love you BSD987 (#3)

I think you are one of the best writers on this site and I love reading your articles.........................however I don't think its possible for me to lose a college football picking contest (college hoops I know can't be beat).  If you can organize a contest, I will definitely enter.

I would not mind losing to you because you are not an asshole, but I still think I'd whoop you up.

Thanks for the compliments and good luck. I'll actually organize something.......

Odds are posted there. Click on "live odds" for all the lines.

This is highly inaccurate, but it is more accurate than any other site that shows all the lines.

If you find something that looks wrong, it probably is. Google other sports books to verify it. This is the easiest way to find the best line, but it is not the most accurate.

bsd - if you're organizing, i'd suggest saying go the opening line and having everyone pick using that line. Else, it's going to go crazy when someone has 7 pts and someone else has 6. and they're both like. well, you didnt cover! yes i did!

good luck.  I'll be posting about a NFL PICK EM SHOWDOWN soon.

so you can use that as the official line and have people put their picks in that way.
