Getting this up early but pumped to get this contest up and going and since you have to be in at the start no one can say I didn't have time to get in on this.
This year Week 1 will include games from Aug. 24 through Sept. 2.
A reminder regarding tiebreaker points: If your team wins and covers you gain an extra bonus point. If you take a undefeated team who is the underdog you gain the point for them covering plus another bonus point. As the season goes on the number of teams undefeated being a underdog greatly diminish so take advantage while you can.
2 teams plays 2 FBS in this time Nevada who is 27 point underdog to SMU so not likely to be picked and FSU. I doubt someone would use them this early but if you take FSU they need to get
both wins. There would be a chance in getting extra bonus points should they cover both so way the risk I guess.
I will be using ESPN's Lines. Line will be the line at kickoff for tiebreaker points.
Bringing back the reward for top finisher other than bragging rights. Since this is a contest on Cyclone Fanatic I like the idea of the reward going back to helping ISU athletics.
For the top 3 CYCLONE Fan finishers (Hawks fans are as always are welcome to play but this is a contest on a Cyclone fan board) I will donate $75, $50 and $25 to @brentblum and We Will on your behalf.
