2018 PICK'EM KICKOFF COMPETITION
2018 Pick’em Kick-Off Competition
All 75 picks and tiebreakers are due before fifth kick-off, Saturday 01 Sept 1:30 pm MDT.
Preferred Entry method - Enter your Picks on GOOGLE DOCS, KICKOFF PICK'EM. (Games entered here will periodically be transferred to my official spreadsheet for tracking purposes. If you make changes before the deadline, please notify me via PM on this website, so you get credit for the changes)
Secondary Entry method - reply to this thread with each game picked (either retype game # and team - or copy/paste the games and bold the winner - prefer bold, rather than just colors, easier to read when doing 75 games at a time).
PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE 4 Games which kickoff before the picks deadline - I will leave the entries open until the 5th game's kickoff, but anything submitted after a game's KICKOFF will be scored as an incorrect pick.
Rankings are the Coaches Poll, August 2018 - known times noted as MT, I think I have noted all of the neutral-site games.
