So here we are again. It's time for football. FINALLY. Rules are the same as always. Picking B1G games gets you points if you're correct but losing no points if you're wrong. I'll select a game of the week and that will be worth 2 points. Wild card games are +1 for correct and -1 for wrong. You aren't required to pick the wild card games. I'll keep track of points and it *should* be updated on a weekly basis. Here's the tracker. Also...speaking of which, after I FINALLY got back to it, GE and MTS won last year! So congrats...sorry you didn't get to enjoy your reign for very long. It's time to defend it now! Other than that, have fun. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome.

Sorry about that, it's deleted. I assumed everybody checked the numbers and I thought I'd make it easy. Maybe everybody needs to do their own leg work.

They probably do and should. It was really just a joke.

Ok, man, I thought I screwed your thread up. You're right, everybody should do their own research.

Haha, no way did you mess it it. I was just trying to have fun. Obviously my sarcasm didn't translate in the post. I'm sorry for making you do all that work to look up the lines and then delete it. If you still have them handy you are more than welcome to post them for everyone.

Lol, I usually pick up on others sarcasm, went right over my head!

I think I will not make it so convenient for others. I'll leave the spreads off here.

The champion of the universe is here!

But seriously, a big shout out to TerpsNPhoenix for running the pick'ems and for everyone participating. I can't believe I finally won one, especially as ohio1317 has been the dominant winner over the years. The secret is to be lucky. On to the new season!

Ohio has been awesome and will likely continue to be. Couldn't believe it came down to the pick'em to finally select someone. Sorry once again that it took so long to get the info out and that you don't have time to flaunt it more. On a side note...I have my last final this coming Saturday and OMG I'm so excited to be done. I'm totally cool with you posting that belt pic in all the pick'em threads for the rest of the season. You got the belt until someone else takes it away.

Plus, it's so much more fun being the villain than it is the hero. If I'm a total douche then that could motivate people to beat me.

The Champ has spoken, bring your best!

I think most B1G teams are favored to win except:

Northwestern at Stanford
Purdue at Nevada

UMass at Rutgers could go either way.

So let the points begin...

Hawaii beat Arizona 45-38
Florida beat Miami 24-20
