AQ's PickEm League

Welcome!

Welcome to AQ's Pickem League, a celebrated tradition of college football for over a decade! If you were forwarded or stumbled upon this page, your Saturdays will never be the same again!

PickEm Rules

1. Be kind, generous, and only reply-all if you're spreading love.

2. Pick the winner of each game. For games that have spreads (+X.5), your picks are based on those.

3. You get 1 Moneyball per week, your moneyball is worth double.

4. Games lock at kickoff, for the sanity of the commish, Moneyballs are applied to the last game if you never choose one.

5. There is a default setting that each picker will choose at the beginning of the year, so that an omitted pick will be auto-selected based on one of 4 methodologies each picker will choose at the beginning of the year (Week 1). (Home Team, Coin-Flip, Favorite or Underdog)
