With all the teams finally selected, we can officially open the 2017 Bowl Pickem. I have decided to keep this simple. Most correct picks of the 39 games will be the winner. If more than one player has the most picks, they will be co-champions. I considered having a tie-breaker, but decided that there was too much at stake to let it all come down to the arbitrary choice of a single game/metric to decide between two players who were tied at the end of a marathon.

After all, the winner(s) will receive the admiration and adulation of the entire CS/CR board. What is more valuable than that?

The deadline for submitting your picks - all 39 of them - will be the kickoff of the earliest game on December 16th. No changes will be allowed after that time.

I would prefer that you submit your picks to me via PM, because PMs can't be edited after they are sent. Logistically, I simply can't monitor all entries that are in the form of replies on this thread. If you do reply to this thread, I can't guarantee that I will have recorded your picks without error.

The slate of games is listed below in a separate post to make copy/paste easier for participants. They are in order of date of the games (but not necessarily their times).

All are welcome to play, and best of luck to all.
