Out of curiosity, would anybody be interested in a college football pick 'em league?

Pick 'em to do what?

I would consider joining.

 

[Unsustainable]

I would be down.

 

[MinJaBen]

Sure.

As a Tech fan, I'd say we both have a fair amount of talent, but also a fair amount of questions. You have the edge being at home. We have the edge of our coach being more established at his school at this point. I get the feeling there might be a lot of young mistakes made. I could see the game going either way, but we probably both would have been better off if we could have had the soft part of our schedules first.

I don't want to bore you with FSU stuff, but I'm not confident in Taggart at all. Good recruiter but questionable coach. Even with Francois back I'm not expecting more than 8 wins for us this year and wouldn't be surprised with less; I would love to be wrong. As long as we beat UF I'll tolerate it; fire UF into the sun.

I think Tech is a better football team that is better coached.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Admittedly, I'm not super high on FSU either. I think some people have gotten a little too excited for a coach that seems solid, but not spectacular. And like I said, a guy trying to run a new system with guys that aren't his tend to struggle. And that's not even getting into some of the players they lost. I'm also not sure about Francois. I didn't love him his first year, and you never know what you'll get after a big injury.

I think now that Fuente is getting some of his guys on offense, we're poised to make some strides in that area. If Bud can take an incredibly young, but talented, group on defense and make them anything close to how they usually perform, we'll be good. But, our inexperience there is a huge question mark until they show otherwise.

Sounds good to me. Just drafted in a 10 team college fantasy league last night, which is a ridiculous process even when limited to "power 5" and some independents.

Makes NFL fantasy look easy.

Boy was that time consuming with those confidence picks. And I have no idea how to express my confidence in any given pick.

So, I'm new to Pick'em games. I get the object is to correctly pick the winners, but what are the "Confidence Points", is 1 or 31 the highest confidence, and how do they contribute to the scoring? I can't find any of that on the site.

Thanks, I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

 

[Chrispy]

31 is highest, you get the number of points you list as confidence when you get it right.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I get the concept, I just find it hard to rank 31 picks. I guess it's just easiest to try to group the ones you're super confident in, the ones you aren't at all, and the in between and just randomly assign them numbers according to those groups.

 

[Unsustainable]

So say you put 31 on Clemson over Furman, you win 31 points?

 

[garnetpalmetto]

I've ditched the confidence points as they seem to be more trouble than they're worth, especially with that number of games.

Thank you.

Go Northwestern!

 

[HisIceness]

Rabble rabble move em to Quebec!

 

[Novacane]

Cable/internet down on kickoff Saturday

Thanks Spectrum

 

[DaveG]

not a great first half. We're up at half but it feels like we've left 3 TDs off the board. This should be a boatracing at 28-7, not 13-7

 

[Brock Anton]

BREAKING: Texas, is in fact, not back.

 

[HisIceness]

How much is Texas paying Herman again?

 

[HisIceness]

No Power 5 team is going to schedule Appalachain State after this.

My thoughts exactly...

I really thought we were about to give them something else to talk about besides the Michigan game.
