Default picking games?

anyone want to pick teams every week to win and kind of keep a record? i know it's already week 4-5 but could be fun

could pick nfl
college top 25+ oklahoma teams that don't make it
or anything like that .. i know more people like college on here i think nfl would be more interesting bc there are closer competition and anyone can win any week with college you have a lot of david vs goliath in some weeks... anyone interested? maybe throw winner at the end of the year gets free dinner or something at a g2g or just a gentleman's bet

my only problem with that is the level of competition and that's why i think nfl would be better to pick bc for instance this week ...


Kentucky
1 LSU

Nevada
4 Boise St

Auburn
10 S Carolina

Ball St
2 Oklahoma

8 Nebraska
7 Wisconsin

3 Alabama
12 Florida

UCLA
6 Stanford

these are the top 10 teams and honestly only maybe 3 would be worth even picking bc the teams are soo far apart ... it's not common for a team like ball st for instance to be in the game after 1st quarter

True..but now is the time we can build up points and as the big games (like all the SEC games) start happening we'll see who can really pick. Maybe two threads?

i'm fine with that ... for the college maybe have it weighted double if you pick an upset? or you have to pick one upset a week

Instead of HAVING to pick an upset, I say if you do and are right, you get double the points.
