Bored's College Football Pick 'Em - Week 1

Recommended Posts

You know the drill. As always giving an extra day to submit picks for the opening week and this year it's especially needed because there are three games to pick for Thursday night. Didn't plan on it originally but the overall slate of games isn't particularly good in terms of competitive games so was kinda forced to do this.

 

Remember if you do not get your picks in on time for the first deadline on Thursday you can not receive any points for those first three games. Also for those new to the contest you must submit your picks for all the 14 games to get credit for Thursday as I don't take partials. If any newbies to the contest have questions please PM me.

 

When I receive picks either in the thread or by PM, I will make that team with an asterisk.

 

Week 1 Deadlines

 

Deadline #1: Thursday, August 28th, 7:30 PM EST/4:30 PM PST

-Lose out on all three Thursday games.

 

Deadline #2: Saturday, August 30th, Noon EST/9:00 AM PST

-Replacement picks, can't win by tiebreak.
