This message is from jl carnegie who is challenging you to play College Pick'em on ESPN.com.

This game challenges you to select the winner of 10 selected games for 15 weeks during the NCAA football season using a confidence scoring system. You receive the amount of confidence points you assigned to each game, but only if you correctly selected the winning team. Best of all, it's FREE to play.

What if we would rather have a paper plate plaque?

up to 17 guys, awesome

anyone else on the fence, you have 1 week

For everyone who's in....fyi - I don't get to pick which games we choose from. ESPN template.

If you havent gone in yet, picks for the 1st weekend are below. From what I understand the deadline is BEFORE each game starts.....I'll have mine in Friday night probably just to play it safe. I'm not sure yet if we can change them once you enter your pick, but im 99% sure you can as long as its before the game starts

anyway, more to come

Don't forget to get your picks in this week. I believe we have until Saturday since ESPN didnt put any of the thurs games in the mix.

I admit, I do hate how they just pick the games AND it's not vs the spread. It'll be interesting with this confidence stuff though.

anyway, once the picks are in you can goto "My Groups">"NDL4LYFE">"Group scoresheet" and see everyone's elses picks as the games play out.

I'll prolly though post a pic up (like below) that shows everyone's picks.

ESPN sends you reminders and push notifications if you have the ESPN app.

Anyone else confused on how the points worked out? The games I got correct I assigned confidence values of 2, 3, 7,8, 9, and 10. This should have given me points 9,8,4,3,2,1 for a total of 27 points. Somehow I got 39 points. Anyone want to explain it to me ? Im confused.

It looks like confidence #10 is actually the most confidence and confidence 1 is the least.??
S23: WKU 8-5 - Lil Caesars Bowl Champs
S24-25: Nebraska 5-7, 9-4 - Gator Bowl Champs
S26: TCU 8-5
S27: Northern Illinois 13-1 - MAC Champs - Fiesta Bowl Champs
S28: Florida 10-4 - SEC East Champs - Capital One Bowl Champs

yup, sorry for the misunderstanding. it's like money, you can bet $10 on the game you're most "confident" about and get the most return whereas the last game you're only betting a dollar

This is correct.
so top of the page is the one you are least confident about, and the bottom is your "lock of the week"?

they should change it to make it more understandable but yup, the game on the bottom of the list with the 10 confidence is 10 points
