Once again, I invite you to join the BWI College Football Pick'Em. With the exception of the 2020 year due to the pandemic, we've conducted a BWI College Football Pick'Em every year since 2001. Last year, we had the added challenge of starting the competition on the old platform, and moving it to this platform on Nov. 1, but the Pick'Em carried on (in large part due to the contestants). As always, the competition is just for bragging rights. There is no entry fee to participate, and you don't win any money for winning the BWI College Football Pick'Em.

I caution again that the process I go through to set up a group is not the same as someone that is joining a group. As such, I'm not certain of the order of the process, so if any of the below is out of sequence, please post a corrected order and I'll edit this post.
From the above LINK, select the Join a Group pushbutton
From the Join Group screen, go to the right side.
In the Group ID# field, enter: 5343
In the Password field, enter "pennstate"
Then, select the Join Group pushbutton
At this point, you'll have to create a handle. In Yahoo's lingo, that is your "Pick Set Name." Please try to use your board handle as your Pick Set Name. (Note: I believe the default is to have your e-mail address viewable to all. If you don't want this, then deselect that option.)
I've opted for the weekly slate of games to be:
- the Yahoo default games AND the B1G conference games AND the Top 25 games
- tie-breakers will be used each week
- you get to drop your 2 worst scores for the overall competition (season-long)
- the deadline for entering selections is 5 minutes before the start of a game
I have not opted to pick against the point spread, or to rank your games by your confidence level.
If we look back at the 2021 season-long competition, these were the final standings:
1st - Nittany.Lion
2nd - PSU Paul
3rd - NitneLiun
4th – BW Lion
5th – CarnioPSU, Rotzc, and Obviviax tied
6th – NorCal Lion, MontereyLion, and Yours Truly tied
7th – ncwref
8th – Fac
9th – SW Fla Lion, lionville, and Major Hoople tied
10th – For The Glory
The competition does not start until Labor Weekend.
Best of luck to all that play!
