SO, you think you can predict college football? Join the Pick'em league I started for a little Creature Competition and let's see who really knows their pigskin!

http://wideopen.athlonsports.com/

League Name: The Bleacher League
Password: geaux

Current Leaders:
Mosang (15,855)
Hood (15,576)
Zach Z (15,468)

Nice picking guys, Hood joins the leader board but still leading the way is the incomparable Emerald Emperor!

Proving that even a blind squirrel can get a nut: I, your humble SouthernMan, won this round going away with 1700 points and broke the top 25!!! (I'm sure it will not happen again so I just had to give myself a little props!)

Notably, our top three are all ranked Higher than Athlon's four 'Experts' and our fearless leader is only 655 (about 5 picks) points off the overall lead. (Not Bad with over 5000 players)

Way to go Bleacher Creatures!!
