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. 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: 6403
In the Password field, enter "pennstate"
Then, select the Join Group pushbutton
(If any of the above is incorrect, please post as much in a reply, and tell me what needs to be corrected. As noted above, I don't go through any of the above to create the competition.)
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 2024 season-long competition, these were the final standings:
1st - ncwref
2nd - @40 Yard Dash
3rd - @TAG16
4th – @Fac
5th – @PSUAXE70 & @rem524
6th – @Nittany.Lion & @NitneLiun & @Franklin Fan Boy
7th – @MontereyLion & @Offside Clyde & @CoolBean
8th – @Mpasquale
9th – @Cigarowl & PSU Toronto & @wolfee55
10th – @AlienWedge & Yours Truly & @Beachwineguy & @AustinLion & Blue & White Lion & @1995PSUGrad
The competition does not start until Labor Weekend.
Best of luck to all that play!
