How about a pick'em event for all the college bowl games where you pick vs the spread.
I know the first game is tonight, but we could always ignore the first two games and start with the Friday nite game, and that would give time for people to prove their knowledge of college football...
Following are the lines we can use. One point for each correct game, and the tie breaker can be total points in the championship game.
PICKS DUE PRIOR TO FRIDAY NIGHT GAME - IF YOU STILL WISH TO ENTER AFTER THE GAME STARTS, YOU WILL BE GIVEN A LOSS FOR ANY GAME THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PLAYED, BUT ALL YOUR OTHER PICKS WILL COUNT
The favorite is listed first, and the number following is the spread.
