Here are some important notes. Please read:

1. First off, you are responsible for making your picks on time. Needless to say, missing a week would almost certainly torpedo your shot at a top slot. Game picks lock 30 minutes before kickoff, and you'll have at least 5 days to make your picks. The system will send out a reminder to make your picks 48 hours before the first kickoff. If you miss a game or miss a week, please do not come crying to me to make some kind of exception - I do not have the capability in the software to make anyone else's picks anyway. Picks should generally take very little time. You can continue to make any changes to your picks right up to 30 minutes before kickoff. Your fellow players will celebrate if you miss weeks, so don’t give them the satisfaction.

2. I won't be bothering with a complex tiebreaker-points system. At the end of this year, if you are tied with someone else, I will simply combine those pay slots and pay it out equally. The one exception is the champion. I will probably create tiebreakers for the bowl games in the rare case that two or more people are going to tie for #1 - I want a clear winner to this contest.

Season will cover every SEC game and the SECCG. To round out each week to 15 games, I will pick other interesting games from around the nation. As a final grand bang to the end of the season, we will pick ALL the Bowl games and all the playoff games.

This will be the single thread for the entire 2023 Pick ‘Em season – keep all league chatter in here. Every week, I will update the thread title with the weekly winner(s) and post the stats here.

How to play:

First, you'll now see a "Pick 'Em" tab at the top of the forum. Click on it. When you open it you'll see this page - click this "X" to remove that filter.

Here you will see the open pools. You'll see one open for "2023 NCAA Football Season".

Once you click on the pool you want to join, click the "Join Pool" button in the upper right.

Then you can click the "Manage your picks" button in the upper right to view or make your picks. Remember, you can change any of your picks up to 30 minutes before kickoff.

Note for iPhone/iPad users:

Making picks works just fine on desktop and Android devices.

On mobile, there is some kind of conflict between iOS and this particular Xenforo style. Hence, when you go to make picks on either Pick 'Em or Survivor, the bubbles to makes your picks won't be there and you can't do it. The workaround is easy and quick. When you are on the picks page, go to the very bottom of the page where the dropdown is to change styles. You'll either see GC LITE or GC DARK in there, depending on what style you use. Drop that down and select "iPhone Pick 'Em". After you select that style, the bubbles will appear and you can make and save picks. Then you can return to the style you want (you ain't gonna want to stay on default).

Sorry for the inconvenience on this one, nothing else I can do.

You'll notice Vanderbilt is on here twice. They have an 8/26 game and a 9/2 game. Don't miss that 8/26 pick.

Same here. I generally visit on my Android phone, not me computer. That's why all the regular typos...it has nothing to do with day drinking!

This just needs to be said right up front:

Do I need to let you know if I want to play first and then you add the Pick’em Tab? Or should it already be there? I’m not seeing it

The only people that can see it are those who are playing. If you still want to play, better get me the $25 today.

 

[Mr2Bits]

Can I get another Vandy line to pick? It looks like Vandy has a real banger of a schedule being favored by like 100 in week zero and one

 

[oxrageous]

62 people playing - that's a lot.

 

[URGatorBait]

Last year, I spent time trying to research teams and their opponents.

Not this year. I'm just gonna go down the line and pick based on first glance

 

[oxrageous]

Last year, I spent time trying to research teams and their opponents.

No one who has ever done that has finished in the top 50.

 

[bradgator2]

I cant wait to spank Sassypant's ass again

 

[jaywalker72]

I missed a whole week last season and still finished in the money. Don't let OX steer you away from a proven, winning strategy!

 

[LoyalGatorFan]

62 people playing - that's a lot.

Yep! It's a darn shame they are all playing for 2nd place too...I have Marty McFly's Sports Almanac....game over
