Welcome to Week One of College Football’s 2014 Season! As most of you know, this is the year with the first ever college football playoff (fuck off, FCS).
Now, instead of competing for this:
everyone is competing for this:
.
Instead of having geeks in basements choosing who plays for the national championship, now we’ll have suits in board rooms deciding whether or Notre Dame’s 3 or 4 losses are enough to keep them out of the playoffs. I think we all know the answer to that one.
Now, before we at the season ahead of us, let’s take a quick look back at the important events that occurred this offseason.
Important Events this Offseason:
First up for Knightro and the Golden Citroknights: Penn State. Can UCF overcome the loss of the best QB it has ever seen? Only time will tell.

Now, last, but not least, the reason why you guys all give a shit about these threads: TTK’s Pick ‘em.

Here are the rules:
- 12 games will be selected by me each week
- Players pick a winner for each game and how much they think they will win by (margin of victory)
- You can get up to 2 points per game: 1 point for picking the winning team, and another point if your margin of victory prediction is within 3 of the actual margin of victory
- You can get 1 additional bonus point in a week if you pick every game correctly (not including MoV)
- Maximum of 25 points each week
- Each player's lowest week will be automatically dropped
- Anybody can play, just post your picks!
- Some games come earlier than Saturday. Make sure to get your picks in on time.
- Are you a ban-risk? PM me your email address and I'll keep up with you if you get banned so that you can still get your picks in on time.
- You have until the time the games start each week to get your picks in. Don't try and cheat by putting your picks after the games have started. Be cool.
