2018 Atlas CFB Pick Em Contest

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Hi everyone! We are doing a college football pick em contest once again this year, but it'll be a bit different than it was last year. Last year, we did it completely on Atlas, but it's a lot easier to score in a new way, so it'll be hosted on the Yahoo Sports Pick Em site this year!

https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/college/register/joingroup

You go to that link and where it says "join private group", type in the id: 237 and the pw: Dave

This ensures that anyone who wants to play from Atlas can do so while still keeping it just to Atlas (though I suppose anyone who comes across this can do it as well) Up to 100 people can play! It should ask you what your pick set name is so please use your atlas username, or note otherwise below. I believe you need a yahoo account but it is easy to sign up for and you can use any email service to do so. Thanks for cooperating and I hope we have fun again this year, we are using the Yahoo editors pick set which is 20 games each week and picks can be made up to 5 minutes before each game!

(Note: The season doesn't start until August 31st but I wanted to get this up early so as many people who wanted to sign up could prior to the contest commencing this time)

(Note # 2: You can actually already make picks for week 1 if you want and the tiebreakers are to make sure there is always one person in first)

Ummmmmm who is USC4CFBPLAYOFF, just wondering

[Terry the Fat Shark]

He's trolling and I think I have the edit the picks thing off anyways on the game

http://www.espn.com/college-football/schedule The first 4 CFB games (week 0 really) are in a week and then the main season and the contest kick off in 2 weeks, make sure to sign up if you haven't already and are interested!

Can't access this on my work computer, so I am really hoping I go in and do those picks tonight, haha ... have softball, though, so I might forget.   Is the deadline just before the first game??

you can pick up to 5 minutes before each game for every game, so it's ok if you miss the earlier ones. Our first games in the contest are Friday, although there are some games being played today!

Still room for people to sign up!

[Terry the Fat Shark]

first contest game is Army @ Duke in a bit over 2 hours and then San Diego State @ Stanford a couple of hours later, the rest of the games are tomorrow, except for two, Miami(FL) @ LSU on Sunday Evening and Virginia Tech @ FSU on Monday Evening.

Never pick Texas in OOC play apparently....

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Unlikely to hold but Penn State is presently losing 10-7 to Appalachian State

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Appalachian State and Penn State tied 31-31 with 6 minutes left in the 4th....

[Terry the Fat Shark]

UCLA lost to Cincinnati, everyone picked UCLA.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Nebraska and Iowa State games both cancelled, not sure when Nebraska will be played, Iowa State says they don't know when they are going to reschedule as of now.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Navy losing big to Hawaii.....BYU beating Arizona....interesting things happening today....

[Terry the Fat Shark]

We have 2 more games this week, Miami (FL) vs LSU today and FSU vs Virginia Tech tomorrow, not sure when Yahoo will open up Week 2 picks, I assume today or tomorrow, maybe Tuesday at the latest.

I am happy for Kansas and happy for my pick em, first road win for Kansas since 2009!

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Kentucky snaps the 31 game losing streak to Florida, meanwhile Arkansas loses to Colorado State, we all picked Arkansas....

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Week 2 results and overall results, Santander won both week 1 and 2 on tiebreakers after tying with RINO TOM and Sjoyce respectively

[Terry the Fat Shark]

the games @ UNC and @ NC State on the contest will probably be cancelled

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Baylor is not back

I picked TCU over Ohio State with my heart, but my mind is terrified

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Emotional Rollercoaster, if I die from the 2nd half I donate my points to Santander

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Well, that was painful.

I hope we somehow climb back and have an Ohio State rematch in the playoff but not getting my hopes up

[Terry the Fat Shark]

TCU would have to win the Big Twelve, and crush Oklahoma twice in doing so.

I don't think we'd have to crush them really

It's moot. You aren't beating Oklahoma twice.

We will see
