    Group Name: The Gaming Tailgate

    Here's how the game works: Every week throughout the college football season, we select 10 evenly matched games. It's then up to you to do your research (or go with your gut) and select the winners of these games while also ranking them from 1-10 based on your confidence level.

    For example, if you correctly pick the winner of your most confident game, you receive 10 points. On the other hand, winning the game you feel least confident about is only worth one point. Any time you lose a game, no points are awarded - so be careful which ones you declare as your most confident. Good luck on all your picks this fall.

    Get in the action now!

      In conjunction with selecting which team will win, you are challenged to assign a Confidence Value to each game. The higher the confidence you assign to a game, the more points you will earn if you have selected the winning team.
      The confidence is flip flopped from last year it appears. The 10 pointer is on the bottom. Just so you guys are aware.

      So 1 = most confident 10 = least confident?

      Also, are we doing the "fantasy" college football again?

      No. The first game shown is one point and the last one shown is 10 points. Apparently it went 10-1 last year. I guess he's just making people aware of something everyone needs to change anyway.

      I don't think that game exists anymore on ESPN.com or at least I am not seeing it.

      ESPN has a link to DraftKings in their Fantasy dropdown & area, so I take that to mean that the fantasy games have to be played there. Apparently they have some sort of deal.

      Do you want 1 point or 10 points? Your most confident game should be 10. The game where you aren't sure should be 1.

      It's just confusing because last year the 10 was on top, this year it's on the bottom, but same scoring, 10 points for your 10.

      OK so I need to reverse the order of all my picks b/c I just assumed top meant your best pick and bottom your worst.

      WTF? O.k. so your which is correct:

      (a) 1 Confidence is worth 10 points and your 10 confidence is worth 1 point or

      (b) 1 Confidence is worth 1 point and 10 confidence is worth 10 points

      I was considering doing the same thing. How one can read the jargon of legal mumbo jumbo but can't get the concept of 10's are for certainties and 1's are for toss-ups is beyond me.

      Stanford is killing me. Good news is that it's beginning to look like an easier win for in a few weeks against them.
