Status: offline 		With college football only about three months away anyone want to start a football pick em? Let me know. How it would work is we would pick 10-20 games a week and we would keep it simple straight up and the winner would get a 25 matrix gift card if their is such a thing.

However, if our Yankee cousins are going to have a go at the football, then, if it's not too complicated, I will have a go

I might consider NFL football if I understand the rules for the competition. But it is a long time before the season begins.

As I said I am willing to consider NFL. That league I can at least partially follow.

What do you think is the big difference b/t college and NFL? They're not that different.

Only difference is that they show some of the NFL matches on Swedish TV. That might not make any difference to you but to me that is a huge difference.

Edit: Big misunderstanding here. Partly (or all) my fault. I only meant that the time for players to report to summer/fall camps is getting close.

Status: offline 		NFL sounds good, I have no idea about the college teams as I don't follow college football. Only Notre Dame rings a bell, but don't even know if they are any good.

I'm a Buffalo fan myself, if I can call myself a fan. Watched the 90's live and was upset by watching 3 superbowls in a row and each time runner up. Every year I watch the Super Bowl so I understand the rules to the game, but not much in the drafting side of the game. I have ESPN America over here so I watch a bit of US sport when I can, but you do ruin it by having a bad timezone.

Status: offline 		This whole system that tries to treat NCAA football as "amateurs" is ridiculous.

Major infractions unreported or pooh-poohed, minor ones blown up from mole-hills into mountains - what a parody of "equality" and "fairness".
