Welcome, everyone, to what is not only the first week of the 2015 college football season, but the first week of the second year under this new playoff system!

2015 College Football Pick 'em - Week One
Okay, ttk is out this year, so I'll try to run it. Each week I'll choose 11 games for you guys to pick. However, I'm not doing MOV like ttk did, instead, you'll just be picking against the spread for 10 of the games. There will be one game each week for which you'll pick the MOV, and this game will only be for tiebreaker purpose. Scoring will be 1 point for each game you get correct, with 3 points for the person who gets the most games correct that week. If there is a tie for first place, then we'll look at the MOV game. If it's still a tie, then nobody wins the bonus. These spreads are not necessarily Vegas approved.
Without further ado, here are the games:
