    I felt there just wasn't enough competitions going around on AGS this season, so I wanted to bring back what is always a fun one.

    After gaining permission from clenzy, I've decided to resurrect a pick'em contest for all of the FCS here on AGS. Yes, I missed the first week, but my goal is to make it FCS vs. FCS for the most part, and there was a pretty small slate of like games last weekend. So, we'll start this week and play until the final regular season weekend.

    Scoring will be pretty basic, for the most part. One point for each correct game picked. There will be a couple of additional opportunities, though. The top game on the Pick'em form each week will be worth two points. Then there will be a couple bonus questions each week. If that person or persons gets the pick right on, they will get 2 bonus points.

    I will try to get somewhere from 20-30 games each week and also try to include as many of the FCS conferences as possible. Just for fun, there will also be one lower division game each week, most likely pairing two top 25 teams against each other.

    I'll keep a leaderboard going throughout the season.

    The deadline for picks each week will be right before the first game on Saturday starts, usually around Noon Eastern time.

    Cool - next week, can we get the tie breaker questions on the same page as the games?

    My personal RAM erases itself every time I go to a new web page. This is known as CRS functionality & is only available in older versions & those from the 420 series; however, on occasion, this feature has been known to activate spontaneously after repeated and/or major impacts.
