Welcome back! It's football time! And another season means another chance for you to enter and lose this contest with no discernible prize! Good luck!
The rules are the same as every year:
1. Every week you have to pick one Pac-12 team to win against an FBS opponent. Do so be replying to this thread.
2. You can not select that same team again during the year.
3. Also, you cannot pick against the same team to lose again during the year. (For example, if you select our Utes over the Cougars in week 1, you can't choose USC over BYU in week 3 or Washington over BYU in week 4).
4. Once you choose a game incorrectly, you are banished from the contest.
5. To win, you must be the only person to correctly predict a game during a week.
OK, now that the legal stuff is out of the way, let's get down to it.

Fine. Your admission to not understanding basic legal rule analysis suffices as an excuse.

I do enjoy the score prediction competition. Those rules are simple enough for me to bother understanding. I'm saying this with love in my heart still.

It's a 14 week season, and usually this contest is over by week 8. So you usually don't have to pick every team once. It gets more complicated come league play to not duplicate picking them a loser picks.

Never happened. You can technically only survive for 12 picks, and that is assuming that you haven't run out of loser picks.
That's why this competition is called the "contest of whits." ( Get it? Whit-tingham?)

Rigged for smart guys! I can't understand why anyone would pick OSU. But the amount of people choosing UCLA last week is astounding. Chip Kelly is 0-5 against non-conference opponents while at UCLA, soon to be 0-6. I think the verdict is in on his coaching ability.

So long, noney. We are down to the final two: yours truly and Cookie monster. Traditionally, at this point we have emailed the weeks pick, so that people can't wait to see the others pick and decide if they want to pick against them. This year that won't work because I am still alive. So I nominate Sancho to take on this heavy task. So, let's email our picks before the first game to Sancho.
Also, just to review the rules, to win one must be the only person to select a winner in a given week. Just having the other person get a pick wrong is not enough; you also must make a correct pick that week. If both contestants miss during a week, we continue into the next week and those incorrect picks do not count against you, ie, if you pick Oregon State in week 7 and osu loses, if both contestants make incorrect picks that week you may pick Oregon State in following weeks.
