College pick'em! Join our group and play on ESPN!

[chase_acow]

What it is: Each week, ESPN chooses ten games and you A) pick the winners and B) rank the games in order of how confident you are in your picks. The site requires registration, but it is simple, quick, and they don't spam you with anything you don't ask for.

Where it is: The group name is still slashthehuddle and the password to join is "livejournal" without the quotation marks, naturally. Feel free to invite your f-lists or even real life (I've heard they exist) friends to join. Five awesome people have already signedup!

Why you should do it: It's fun! There's smacktalk! You could win stuff! There will be prizes at the end of the season for whoever wins (gets the most points) the regular season and for whoever wins the Bowl Pick'em. Small print = must be a member of slashthehuddle or at least subscribed to the challenge posts to win.

Who can play: Anyone can play! Some people take it really serious and look at the stats and previews, some people (me) go by hunches (or who I want to win), and other people pick based on mascots and uniforms. : ) It's entertaining and gets you into the whole college football season a little more. The shows College Football Live and Saturday morning Gameday are great resources if you want to get a bit of knowledge about the teams, but the site actually tells you who's favored to win and gives you some stats.

Ask if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them correctly. All reminder posts will be over at slashthehuddle so I won't clutter up my flist. : )
