CBS has a pool that allows you to set up a pool and customize the rules of the game so that it has the same rules we always used (pick any 10 games against the spread). I set up a pool:

https://picks.cbssports.com/college-foo ... r4oll9lusa

Password is: Trolls

There are games starting on August 26, 2023.

Make sure you go into the CBS account settings after you set up your account and hide your email address from others. You should also change your pick name to something other than your own name.

I'll give y'all a head start and start playing next week.

Thanks, 88....even though it's not as "cozy" as your original format.....

I believe the first week runs thru 9/4. Note the tie breaker is Monday nite on that date. So any 10 games up to then.
I’d assume games would be locked after they begin. So if you want to play anything this weekend, you’d need to complete your 10 picks, I’d assume? Once you submit, I’d guess your locked in.

Also SS, I’m pretty sure CBS hides picks until the entire week of games are completed.
I doubt 88 has admin rights to override their format for our group.

L45B,

We had the CFB world by the shorties and didn’t squeeze. But to be fair, I ain’t into squeezing shorties. Just sayin.

I'm pleased and surprised to have won Week 1. That takes a bit of the pressure off, eh?

I'm still learning how to use the CBS thingy. I did not realize until this morning that I have to "publish" the games before you can put picks in. I just did that. Sorry that it is late. I also just learned that I can select the tie-breaker game. So, to make the new game feel more like the old one, starting next week I am going to bug Left Seater to send me the must-pick game. And we will make an off-the-CBS-rules requirement that everyone must include the tie-breaker game in their pick set starting next week.

Wasn't that Colorado game something?

Great picks 88!

For nostalgic reasons, I decided to squeeze into my shorts just 2 correct turds for Week 1. Just like old times!

First, congrats to Screwy at this point.

Mucho, I was at the game Saturday. My son and grandkids ducked into the concourse when the rain got heavy. I stayed in the stands until lightning cleared the field. I’m still drying out!

Thanks Cornhusker and OUMO.

I knew I should have come on here before the game to see if you were going to be there.

I'll be up there when we play next season.

Hopefully Bama will have a functional offense by then!

I was thinking the same thing about us.

Our 2 best WR's are playing for Deion now.
