Back by popular demand, I'm pleased to announce the third annual BSD College Pick 'Em game hosted on ESPN. Here's what you do. Go to ESPN and sign up for an account if you don't have one already. It's completely free to do so.

Then log in and join the following group.

If you're not familiar with the ESPN format, there is a pretty neat twist to the game. Each week they give you ten games to pick from. You pick your ten winners, and then you rank your picks based on how confident you are in them. You get ten points for getting your most confident pick correct, and one point for getting your least confident pick correct. They have a feature where you can sign up for a reminder email every week so you don't forget to submit your picks. I recommend you use it, because if you miss one week your chances are pretty much shot.

We always manage to come up with some kind of prize. Last year I gave away a copy of the Sports Illustrated College Football history book. In years past I've given away $50 gift cards. I'm not sure what we'll do this year, but we'll come up with something. We also invite the winner of each week to offer up a post previewing the games on the ballot the following week which we will put on the front page.

The other thing you need to know is we're all competing for second place, because CoolHandLucky wins. Every. Single. Time. So go sign up and make your picks.
