Woohoo! I'm tied for first.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I made my picks but I did not get a message that they were locked. If I remember right we got that message last year, maybe not. Anyone else make their picks?

I made my picks. Don't recall a message but it looked OK.

Clemson-Alabama could be a good game.

The picks I entered a couple of days ago are still in there.
They probably won't actually "lock" until shortly prior to game time.
I think we used to get acknowledgement that our picks were "accepted" but perhaps they aren't doing that anymore.

Last call to get in on Week 1.
You can join later, but you'll miss out on any Week 1 points for season-ending bragging rights.

Good news - ECU vs. VT screws us all
Bad news - It was my 10 point game

I think old Kirk Herbstreit or however you spell his name called this one this morning. I hope it's not gonna be another one of those years.

Utah winning at Michigan nails all of us.

It was my 8 point game.

The Week 2 picks are up. A bunch of blah games if you ask me.

No Northern Colorado at Purdue.

I'm disappointed.
