MAC Blogger Pickem is back for its second season. Every week active MAC Bloggers will take their best guess at who wins the coming weeks games. Last season the pool grew from five to seven blogs as the season wore on. Eventually 'Lets Go Rockets' edged out Van Delay for the regular season crown. Nick had to console himself with picking most accurately in conference games.
I am hoping the pool grows to at least ten Bloggers this season, so far I have five confirmations, two of whom are from new participants. The confirmed participants are:
This Weeks Games, and the computer generated favorites form CollegeFootballPoll.com are:
This Weeks Picks ( * Indicates an upset pick). All MAC Blogger Pickem are straight up, the spread above is only informational. Blogs can also change a pick right up until kickoff by sending an email.
Pre-Kickoff Ballot notes:
Teams
Road Warriors: The teams that are most picked to win on the road. In the event of a tie the lowest computer generated point spread will decide.
Kennel Club Member: The blog that picks the most dogs. The tie breaker is the greatest sum of the spreads from their pooches.
