    2024 Weekly College Football Pick'em

    It's fast approaching that time of year again. No changes to the format from last year. We'll be playing approximately 20 games/week depending on the strength of schedule. I will select games, as best I can, from all the available conferences, based on match-ups, competitiveness, and level of competition.

    And yes, we will be playing point spreads. If the spread is under a TD I didn't utilize it, giving us amateurs a break there. My main goal with point spreads is to "even out", bring some balance, to some of these games so your pick isn't so obvious or easy. But I will not be putting games on the schedule where a P5 is playing some cupcake, like Frostbite Falls, and giving them 40 pts. I don't care who the school is (lol).

    I will be adding .5 to whole number spreads to insure no ties.

    It's all about having fun, while also maintaining some sort of competitive level of play.

    Those who have played know I don't like putting Thursday games on the schedule. I have the new schedule out every Monday for the following week, so omitting Thursday games, playing only Friday and Saturday games, gives people more time (due to work schedules) to get their picks in.

    But, like every year, I have to break that rule for the first week of play only, and the screwed up scheduling. So Week #1 will be Thursday Aug 29 thru Saturday August 31st.

    To begin the season I'll have the schedule out at least a week before play.

    I tried it last year for the first time. It was fun and GAC did a great job updating results and the weekly schedule, which is a pretty tough job.

    I've got the week #1 schedule made out. Waiting for the rest of the point spreads to come out. I also added the game from Sunday, Sept 1st #23 USC @ #13 LSU. So the schedule for week 1 wil go from Aug 29-Sept 1st.

    Re: 2024 Weekly College Football Pick'em

    Alright. Here's Week #1. And as usual for this time of year, you'll see some of the "big boys" missing off the schedule because they're giving far inferior opponents 40-50 pts (lol). And for this week I also added the Sunday game between USC-LSU. Hopefully, in the next week or two, we'll get to our normal schedule of Friday-Saturday games with an occassional Thursday.

    Have fun!

    Also -keep an eye on me and my ciphering (lol). I'm old, and while I triple check everything, I can (have) make mistakes.

    Re: 2024 Weekly College Football Pick'em

    At a glance, pretty much everyone went 1-3, with a couple at 2-2, and one winless, through the first 4 games.

    Yep. Gonna be a long season, but I'm glad college football is back LOL
