In a Pick 'Em contest, contestants select a winner for each game as well as a final score prediction for the National Championship for tiebreaker purposes. It's a no pressure contest: you can guess randomly and you may do better than someone who researches each matchup.

Why are we only picking ranked bowl games?
Last year, we picked all the games. Unfortunately, MrXercules was incredibly busy this month and had no time to set up this year's contest until now. There's still plenty of games left to pick.

How do I enter?
You enter by scrolling to the bottom of this page and adding your username. Then, take a look at the Bowl Matchups page to see which ranked teams are playing in which bowls. Keep that tab open to use as reference, return to this page, and annotate your username with your predictions for each ranked bowl game and a National Championship tiebreaker score, just in case.

What's the prize?
TBD

How does scoring work?
Scoring is simple. You receive 1 point for each game result you guess correctly and 0 points for each incorrect guess. If the National Championship score tiebreaker is needed, the winner will be decided by whichever guessed score is closest to the actual final score.

In order to track your progress throughout the contest, check the Standings page each day. There will also be a contest forum thread, a game discussion thread, and a recaps page if you find yourself overcome with football spirit.

When's the deadline?
The Boca Raton Bowl, featuring Toledo vs. #24 Temple, kicks off at 7 PM ET on December 22nd. Picks are locked in at 6 PM ET that night, so you have until an hour before kickoff to enter the contest. Any entries after that time will be excluded from the competition. Additionally, any pick changes made after the deadline will result in disqualification.
