Three other contestants tied for second place at 11-4: Joey B, Brian Cover (appropriate name), and Leenco29. Five others finished in double figures. Two weeks into the contest and Tyler Shannon owns first place in the overall standings with a 19-11 record (63.3% winning percentage).
Remember, the top finisher each week wins a $25 gift card to CSU Ram Zone / CSU Bookstore, and our top three finishers at the end of the season win $300, $150, and $75 respectively.

Contest details/rules
- Contestants will pick a point-spread winner in 15 games each week, plus a total score tiebreaker in the final contest game of the weekend. (Please note, we never include CSU games on the list, but try to include most Mountain West matchups when they take place on Saturdays and involve an FBS opponent.)
- Contestant’s should make their picks “against the spread”. For instance, if UCLA is favored by -13.5 vs. Hawaii, and UCLA wins by more than 13.5 points, they win “against the spread.” If UCLA does not win by more than 13.5 points, then Hawaii wins “against the spread,” even though they might lose the game.
- The system will auto-pick up to three weeks for you if you fail to get your entry in by deadline. If you miss beyond three weeks, you’ll receive a score of 0 for each week missed.
- In the event of a tie between contestants at the end of the contest season, Win %, Strength of Victory, and Aggregate tiebreaker as determined by the OfficePoolStop software. If the tie is still not broken we’ll determine an equitable split of the prizes.
- Entries are due prior to the first kickoff of a game included in that week’s contest list (typically 10 a.m. MT each Saturday, although some weeks will include Friday and even Thursday games later in the season, so pay attention to the contest schedule each week and get picks in by first game!)
- You may submit up to two entries per contestant.
- You may edit your entries via the pool dashboard as long as it’s before the start of the first game of the contest that week. Your final entry is the one submitted last prior to the first kickoff.
- If a game is canceled/postponed in a given week, it will merely be omitted from the week’s scores.
Thanks and best of luck to everyone (except Buffaloes, Cowboys, and Falcons, of course!).
