    Here we go!!! Time to get this party started! Football has officially started, and FSU already has a loss! Life is good.

    Welcome back for all those that played last season, and greetings to all of the new players that will be joining us. First things first: rules are basically the same as last season, save the added playoff "week". For those that are new, or if you just want to brush up on the rules, see the rules thread (link below).

    SmootyGator's Pick'Em - Season 2 - RULES

    All you need to do to be in is make your picks. Just be sure to post the picks correctly. If anyone has any questions, most answers can be found in the rules thread. If you still have questions about anything, please ask in the rules thread and your questions will be answered there.

    This week's games include 2 Thursday night games, so the deadline for picks will be this Thursday at 8:00

    Here are this week's game selections:

    UNC @ Minnesota (Thursday)
    Coastal Carolina @ Jacksonville St. (Thursday)
    Penn St. @ West Virginia
    Miami @ Florida
    Eastern Michigan @ Umass
    North Texas @ South Alabama
    UNLV @ Houston
    Notre Dame @ Texas A&M
    Wyoming @ Arizona St.
    USC @ LSU (Sunday)

    Again, the pick deadline is Thursday at 8:00

    Good luck everyone! And as always, GO GATORS!!!

    Thanks Smooty!

    If anyone has questions about the rules, remember Smooty asks that they be posted in the RULES thread (just click on the link he provided in Post #1) . . . so questions are asked fewer times but more so we can focus on picks and teasing in this thread. LOL! :)

    The hardest part of this is finding teams that I’ve even watched the highlights of.

    I make my picks blindfolded so that's not an issue for me.

    I just bet for the gators so there’s no thinking involved and not much winning so far. If the gators go 12-0, I’ll win.

    Just to be clear, you shouldn't number them. Penn St. is your 5-pointer, as it was listed first. Just want to make sure everyone that is new understands.

    @tommyvee may make some noise this year. We were in a PM yesterday and he really wanted to put $$$ on Ga Tech but missed the cutoff. Just saying . . .

    Ok. Yes, my Penn State pick is my highest confidence level pick.

    Appreciate it. I tend to stay away from betting with my heart, but…
