I’ve renewed the league again. Everyone that played last year should get an invitation at the email address you used to register.
I hope I got the scoring right this year. No point spread, confidence points, picking Yahoo Default, AP Top 25, and SEC games. Lowest week is dropped.

Everyone is welcome to play.
Thanks, Oak. Beasley is in.
Zeldar, will you be running your game again? I may miss the first two weeks, depending on when it goes up. Going to Vegas and vicinity for my 5th anniversary the first full weekend in September, and will have limited time/internet access. I’ll play after that, though…
Thanks for asking, but I won’t be doing that myself this year. Maybe somebody else will take on the task.
After several years sitting out the Yahoo group, I’m in this year. I moved back to the U.S. so I don’t have to worry about VPN issues in China.
You got the Yahoo default? Does that mean we will be getting games like Akron vs Buffalo?
I’m in.
It’s also time for the annual College Football Omnibus Thread.
It’s College Game Day! Go Bears!
Bolding mine. Had me worried. I woke up, saw that and thought I missed a week already.
Well, it technically was college game day…just with a very limited slate. Kind of like that last week of the season when there’s only Army-Navy on.
How about those Bears? Only undefeated team in the nation! 
I didn’t get an e-mail as far as I could tell, but I’m glad I checked in here. I’m in!
I’m in.
Also, I am wondering why you don’t include Thursday games? I know, Thursday games are an abomination on par with the designated hitter, but ignoring them isn’t going to make they go away.
Actually, every FBS team except Hawaii is still undefeated. 
And there is a reason there weren’t many games this weekend; in Division I, you can’t play your first game before the Thursday just before Labor Day except if:
(a) you get an NCAA waiver;
(b) it’s a game between two FCS teams on nationally broadcast TV, provided only one team per conference gets an “early game” and no team plays an early game three seasons in a row - this is to allow something called the “FCS Kickoff”; this year, North Dakota State beat Charleston Southern in OT;
or (c) one of the teams involved has an away game at Hawaii at some point - I think it’s there because those teams are allowed to have 13-game regular seasons, although there is no requirement that the team in question have 13 games on its schedule (and, in fact, nobody besides Hawaii has a 13-game schedule this season).
I don’t think the Thursday games are an option in yahoo.
I guess it is for the procrastinators who don’t make their picks until Friday.
Yeah, I think Yahoo ignores Thursday games.
I think there are 31 games to pick this week.
And your first official Upset Special of the year is: Auburn (Damn War Eagle) over Pre-Season #2, Clemson.
Is there no BOSoOHA first prize this year?
BOSoOHA = Big Ole Sack of Oak’s Hot Air
Thanks Oak, ready for the season. No fingernails left after last night’s game in Knoxville

I would like to thank the Richmond Spiders for coming through in my ridiculous upset pick of the week. I’m in first place after the first week, but A) I will probably forget to submit my picks once or twice and B) my homerism when it comes to using my top pick on the Florida Gators is sure to cost me some points this year.
Holy Moly.
40 games this week.
Yeah, seems like I manage to screw something up in the settings every year. Last year it was using the spread. This year it’s too many games to pick each week. Oops.
Looks like I’m in last place at the moment.
Some good games coming up this weekend…Bama/Ole Miss, LSU/Miss St, Oh St/Oklahoma (my apologies to Bill Watts, Jim Ross, and the late Steve Williams, but I married a Buckeye, so no Boomer Sooner in this house).
