i notice you guys don't have a current champ for this espn.com game. i think its kinda fun. since college football is easier to predict than the nfl, you dont just pick a winner straight up or even against the spread, but rather each team is assigned a point value based on how big of a favorite they are. each game has a total of 100 points. for example, let's say michigan was going to play appalachian st. michigan would be a huge favorite, so if you picked them to win, you might only get 10 points. if you picked app st. to and they pulled the upset, you would get 90. it makes it interesting because there is a little more stratgey involved. sometimes you know a team is going to lose, but the favorite hardly gets you any points its barely even worth picking them, and if the underdog pulls the upset its huge for you. i looked on espn.com and they don't have the game up yet, so hopefully they will do it again this year. if they do, would anyone else be interested in starting another gansterbb league?

I play it every year on ESPN, but no one else was ever interested. Maybe this year will be different...? Wow, finally another ESPN Uber MVP on here!
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

I'll play. I don't know why I didn't the last few years.
This is just picking straight up, right? Not against the spread.

ya. the favorite doesn't have to cover the spread to get the win. they make their own spread with the points system.
