Rules:

1) Pick 1 FBS team per week.
2) Select teams from games this week (as defined by the NCAA website).
3) That team must be UNDEFEATED.
4) Once you pick a team, you can't pick them again.
5) You must post your pick before your selection kicks off.
6) Miss a pick either by your pick losing, picking a team not playing, picking a team again, or failing to post a pick you're out.
7) The pick must be in the thread for this week.
8) Use a hottie picture to make your pick. (optional)
9) Any disputes will be solved by a vote of the posters still alive.
10) If there's a tie at the end of the game the tie breaker will be decided by best pics as voted by those playing the game.

First game this week is Thursday August 31st.

1. Thanks for doing this!
2. I recommend removing rules 8 and 10. It keeps it simple and saves us time. If there's a tie at the end, declare them co-champions.

My 2 cents.

I am good with voiding #10

A few years ago, I was tied for first at the end of the season. I dont like this tiebreaker rule. I think we can come up with a better one, like using the total score(s) of a bowl game or two.

We used to pick the winners of all the NY6 games. One year Irish27 and I tied by nailing every week, every NY6 game, but he won on "total points in all bowl games" 2nd tiebreaker. It sucked.

We can cross that bridge if we get there.

Just have some fun for now

I’m not sure they’ll beat The Bullies next week, so I’m going with it.
