Posting this 2 1/2 weeks before the first game of the season. Hopefully, we'll have a good number of consistent pickers. Remember, nearly half of the regular season games this year will be OOC (out-of-conference), so we might as well pick'em! We'll start over from scratch with the conference games.

Copy/paste list of games below and show predicted winners and victory margins. EXAMPLE: If you think Team A will win by 5, the easiest way to show it is:

Team A 5 @ Team B

Results will be shown in a separate thread and will be based on pickers' W-L record first, then cumulative victory margin pts off (predicted margin - actual margin if correct winner picked; predicted margin + actual margin if wrong winner picked). The lower victory margin pts off the better, just like strokes over par in golf.

Mods....please lock this down after the pick'em deadline.

NO EDITS!

Good luck! This new format with predicting margins of victory should be fun!

No confidence points this year? Damn I guess I get to retire the champion on that one! Good luck everyone this year, hopefully the new location and the complete lack of coverage of the A-Sun in Nashville won't be a hindrance, and BTW if I see or hear one more "Be A Bruin" ad I might puke.

As the defending champ, BucLover, we expect you to have no more than..... say.....35 score margin points off this first week!!! It will interesting how low we can keep that number.

Good to have some more Kennesaw reps this year. KBball, these first weeks will be tough. There's always a couple of teams that are better than expected and a couple that are worse. Couple that with dealing with conferences we don't follow. Ahh, that's the sport of it!
