Bracket-mania

Every year I think the most talked about subject in College Football is the BCS.  Yes, we all know it doesn't REALLY make sense and that there will be teams with a perfect record who might not get to play for the National Championship.  It's not fair, and I can't explain it, so I won't try. (But you know, Will Forte is pretty good at it)

I will, however, try and make the season a little more interesting.....

You've heard about my friend Lane (Super Fan)  In an attempt to keep the season interesting, we thought it might be fun to start a college football bracket.  This won't be a bracket like college basketball where you play games to get to a fair winner.  We all know that's not really feasible in football at this time.

Here are the deets:
Every week, we'll pick our winner for the 25 games that are being played by the top 25 teams.  (If ranked teams are playing each other, we'll choose the additional games based on our personal preference, game time and/or stakes of the game)
        For every win, you earn 7 points to your total score (Touch down!)
        For every loss, you lose 3 points from your total score (Uh oh, the other team scored a field goal)
        If you pick all 25 games correctly, you'll earn 2 additional points that week (Safety)


At the end of the season, the loser has to buy a plane ticket to visit the other one - Oh, did I mention Lane is moving away? :(

Are you interested?  If so, let me know! We'll start this with the first game and keep it rolling through November
T-33 days!
