Head on over to the SportsHoopla Pickem's section and join the Power 5 Wins Pickem. The Bovada odds for every teams regular season wins of all power 5 schools and ND, BYU, and Army thrown in are listed.

To make things a bit easier for bookkeeping, we rounded all wins totals of 6 or less to the next higher .5 and all wins totals of 7 or more down to the next lower .5 to remove any chance of hitting the total right on the head.

You know college football? Well this is the easiest contest on the site then. Just put in your best over/under on all of the teams and forget about it until the end of the regular season. No need to check back and remember every week to do anything. You have until the first game of the year to finish it so you can put some in here and there and take your time and come back to edit it all you want.

(Update)

Prizes will be:
  • First place pays 6000 vCash
  • Second pays 3000
  • Third pays 1500

To enter just click the SportsHoopla Pickem's tab right under College Basketball Forum on the top of the site. Then click on the Manage Your Pools button and a list of available pools will be shown near the bottom with big red Join Pool buttons. Once you have joined, click on the Manage Your Picks link near the top and then Edit Picks to actually do up your entries. Click Switch Pools first if you have been in prior pools and this one doesn't come up as your current pool.

Feel free to comment on the contest and/or post up your comments on Bovada's current odds for your favorite teams.

All entries must be complete by Saturday August 26th at 8am (not sure what timezone, that's just what is listed up there).

Big shout out to @Vitamike and @SUBuddha for doing all of the work in setting it up. So if either of them wins we know the fix was in!

I tried to change it to the '2017 - Power 5 Wins Pickem'.

Not sure how it is listed now when you go to join. :L

Still showing as the over under, that is my bad in creating it.

Sorry all, send your hate mail to @AlaskaGuy just for shits and giggles.

It took me longer to figure out how to add a new pool than to figure out which one it was.

Didn't even realize there was one other than NFL pickems, because that was all that ever showed up.

Yeah, last year was an adventure trying to get used to it. Not exactly an intuitive system which is why I left as much info as I could on how to add it in the OP.

Maybe this will help out a bit....

If you don't know already, you can find the SportsHoopla Pickem's in the middle of the screen, just underneath the College Baskeball Forum.

First click on SportsHoopla Pickem's, then on Manage Your Pools. At the bottom, click on Join.

The pickem is now open to join, and will close on Aug. 26th @ 8am.

Once you join, click on Manage Your Picks, make sure you are in the right pool and if not click on Manage Your Pools once again. Then click on Manage Your Picks.

@bamabear82 or any other CFB mod:
Could you modify the OP to add in the payout table for this contest?
First place pays 6000 vCash
Second pays 3000
Third pays 1500

Thank you, and good luck to everyone entering. So far there are 15 registered so there is a 1 in 5 chance right now of cashing out.

Just finished making my picks. Don't think I will do very well. I think I took a few too many unders.

Bump up for those returning for the season.

Head over to the Pickem board and enter the easiest contest for the season. Predict the over/under on wins for all of the P5 and wait to collect your vCash when the season is over.

No weekly crap to pick. No worry about forgetting anything. Pick now, win later, enjoy the season, collect your cash.
