    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      Just pick the better team, they are always the winner.

        wow - that was a lot of games to pick. hopefully the number of games will be around 20-25 a few more weeks into the season.

          First time I have played on Yahoo. Does 1 confidence mean that I am most confident or is that 36?

            If you put 1 confidence point on it and get it right then you earn 1 point. If it's wrong you lose that point.

                are you going to change it to pick against the spread?

                  I wasn't going to because several spoke out against it and only one for it. Picking w confidence points should make it competitive enough. I could set up another league w picking the Vegas spread as the option.

                    I will speak on behalf of picking against the spread. But thanks for setting this up.

                      i love picking against the spread but my success rate takes a deep dive. i am hoping that steelblue and bluegoose sign up so i can trash talk this season - not having to pick against the spread improves my chances of successful smack.

                      speaking of steel... are we going to have our usual bet?
                      I missed this thread. I'm in. I'm always game for opportunities to feed orangeute a little humble pie. Hope you're hungry, cuz you're going to be eating a lot of it this season thanks to my in-depth research abilities and my closeness to the spirit.

                        Holy crap, that is a lot of games. Any chance of reducing it to just MWC and top 25 teams, and maybe the PAC as well?

                          It is a lot, and I don't think the fault lies with you, OrangeUte, but even if you had the option of dragging and dropping games, it would be a lot easier to use. (that's a terribly-structured sentence.) Maybe I missed the option to re-format on Yahoo?

                          Eliminating "Yahoo's general interest games" wouldn't really make much of an impact, especially if you added in the PAC-10 games. It will be lower once conference play starts.

                            Is it too late to pick Utah-Pitt or do they just not do Thursday games in general?

                              USC v. Hawaii is missing too, so it must be a Thursday night thing wanting to keep the deadline for picks on Saturday morning.

                                after this week there will be thursday games where a selected team plays only. as more top 25 teams begin playing each other there will be less games to select from, probably about 20 each week because it will mostly be top 25 games plus MWC games (I chose MWC so we got BYU and Utah each week in case either is out of the top 25).

                                I am just going to leave it as is but will create a second league for CUF gamblers that want to pick just on the spread with no confidence points. i'll set up a new thread soon.
