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 2022 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. If you didn't pay for Survivor or Pick 'Em, then ignore the other one. Someone sneaking into one or the other that didn't cough up the $$$ will face a lifetime ban.

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.

Ox, the point spreads in the Ohio St./Notre Dame & UGA/Oregon games are messing with my head. I think you did this on purpose.

 

[NVGator]

I thought you said you were adding the quick click to the orange bubble for pick’em?

 

[B52G8rAC]

Can I make pick now?

You're the only one who gives a damn. I'll get to it when I get to it.

NV has been acting like a bigger prick than me for some time. I don't mind giving it back to him.

Okay…. So I had major spinal surgery July 11th. I’ve barely been able to keep up with anything… I’ve either been asleep or on pain medz for the last six weeks! I try and check in every day to see what’s happening with recruiting, etc. but I’m just now catching up on all that I’ve missed. As I’m healing , I’m getting more and more excited for football season. Is it too late for me to sign up for this?

ESPN indicating LSU is -3 to clown town as of today. How in the cinnamon toast fvvvvvck?

Talk about easy money. That is going to be an ass raping. fsu's roster is a mirror image of freaking USF's for christ's sake.

 

[oxrageous]

I agree FSU sucks balls, but this may be the worst LSU team in 20 years, and they have a new coach who is terrible.

Now I'm really convinced - FSU wins.

I personally don't think LSU has the talent on offense to blow out Stony Brook.

Tell ya what, let's put some skin in the game. If LSU wins you get a 6 month ban, if fsu does you only get 3...

Battle of the SUcks. Which one is worse F or L?
