Pick 6 Underdogs that you think will win their games outright. If they cover the spread but lose the game, you get no points for that selection. The point spreads in this post are locked for purposes of this contest.

Picks are due before the kickoff of the Indiana-Notre Dame game at 8 pm Eastern on Friday, December 20th. There are games starting before that, but obviously you can't pick a game once it's kicked off.

Pick 6 underdogs to win outright. For each game that you pick correctly, you receive the number of points for the pointspread in that game. The person with the most total points will win this game, and $25,000 SportsBook "vCash".

In the event of a tie, I'll contact the winners and have them pick the total points in the National Championship Game.

All those freaking games and it doesnt even count half the CFP! Remember when there were only about 10 total bowl games? Good times.

Edit: I will add my picks here so as to diminish clutter for the ol man. :love:

Toledo
Indiana
Clemson
Navy
UNLV
Washington

I think ttun surprises a disheartened Bama but to hell with picking them for anything but the target of nuclear testing!
