How are you guys tracking the picks? Do you need an email address?

No email address needed. Just fill out the questions and the magic of the internet will take care of the rest.

Well, mark me down as guilty of a little homer-ism. Couldn't help but pick my home-town OU Sooners in that top 5 and my Irish in the un-ranked category.

Go Irish!

I hope this years winner (2008) will had to have picked Notre Dame from the unranked list.

I was hoping you'd use the USA Today poll so a few poor shlubs could pick Michigan. Ha! If they finish higher than 4th in the Little Ten this year it will be because their defense won 8 games for them.

I hate that I just chose Penn State in their category.

Am i a terrible person for not picking the Irish in the unranked category... i really just don't want to jinx them...

Please God, let me lose the pick 6 because i went against our boys...

This year I have an infallible system: pick the teams with the easiest schedules, plus the Irish. Come February I'll be the one at the Mercedes dealership paying in cash y'all.

Rivals just put ND at #1 in the final '08 recruiting rankings, thanks to 'Bama not admitting a few guys. Recruiting rankings are not the be all end all but this is always nice to read:

"The Irish class is fully intact, which is not a surprise. Notre Dame targets prospects who can make it both on and off the field."

Some of those polish girls are fine. The secretary at my Chicago DUI counselor was so hot I was all like 'Polska Mowa' and she was like 'No Irish.'

And James, as far as Weis goes, you're way off base. The only way to roll is with a massive gut and then when you go out, cinch it with a belt so you can be like 'yo! skinny waist here!'

Top it off with a crew cut and you have a master of the ill style.

Do you guys take requests? If so, how about a post with any relevant rule changes before the season really starts?

Laugh if you want, but I spent 4 and a half years in the basement of Fitzpatrick Hall. My only consolation was that I was on the A level.

Weak sauce. I only check the blog in the AM, so now I don't get to play?

Fine, I'll make my own pick six... with blackjack! And hookers!

I left it open B as nothing major happened last night that should change many opinions. But I will close the polls soon.

Damn, even with the do-over I still missed it. Note to self - read blog properly and carefully.

I guess I would have gotten an unfair advantage as I'm in Hong Kong and it's already tomorrow, so I guess I would have known the results before you guys all get up this morning.

Shame, my one chance at unfair-advantage-time-travel and I wasted it. Based on last year's performance I need all the unfair cheating advantage I could have got.
