It’s back and better than ever: the 2018 Gameday on Rocky Top Picks Contest is now open. As always, we’re using our friends at Fun Office Pools: we pick 20 games each week (straight up) using confidence points, where you place 20 points on the outcome you’re most confident in, one point on the outcome you’re least confident in, etc. Weekly winners get a free Gameday on Rocky Top t-shirt; the regular season champ gets pride, plus a free Gameday on Rocky Top hoodie.

NEW THIS YEAR: the games are listed with the latest weekend kickoff first, which means if you forget to pick the Thursday night game it only costs you one point instead of 20. My apologies that it took us having a baby last fall to realize how ridiculous that punishment used to be.

If you’ve played in one of our pools before, you should’ve received an email with sign-up instructions. You can also click here to sign up! Any questions, fire away in the comments below.

I’m very grateful for the weekday games starting out with the lowest scores. Every year I had at least a week or two where it’d slip my mind.
