With football season right around the corner, I would like to start a weekly Big Ten pick 'em "league". If you have no idea what I am talking about, I'm going to list the B1G games along with a few other random BONUS games for everyone to pick. I'll keep track of everyone's scores each week. You get 1 point for weekly B1G games and 2 points for Bonus games. The highest total at the end of the year wins. Maybe TMill could help out and throw in a prize for the winner (maybe an H&R t-shirt or something). If not, I'll try and think of something to give away as a prize at the end of the year (suggestions welcome). Here is a fun chance to break out the bold predictions, game expectation analysis, and competitive banter.

TMill has once again started his own Pick'em league on Yahoo. Please see his post.
