Admittedly, the middle portion of a Venn Diagram with fedi users and cfb fans is about the size of a mosquito dick. But by golly we have fun with it, and we're going to try and promote some engagement. Last year was more or less our first year, but everyone knows that it's really years kinda 2-4 where a program's identity really gets defined. In an effort to try and make this second year a growth year for us c/cfb is running a CFP bracket prediction contest to help encourage some users to come out of the woodwork and join our small community in earnest. Details about the contest can be found below (copied straight from the details on the submission form, which can also be found below)

Rules:

Bracket predictions are due BEFORE the first official cfp ranking (7:00 pm EST 11/05), so you need to be able to predict some chaos for best results.

To be eligible to win you must submit at least 3 ballots in the weekly polls (can be done after the CFP rankings are unveiled, but still must be done before the conference championships). Users interested in wining the contest should be sure to post proof of ballots in the form of a comment on the weekly poll posts.

Contestants will be awarded 1 point for each team they correctly predict making it into the CFP, and 3 points for every team they correctly seed.

As it stands, I am planning on just the seeding being the competition, correctly predicting the first round may be used as a tie breaker if the need arises.

Awards:

  • 1st - $100 gift card to online retailer of the user's choice
  • 2nd - $50 gift card to online retailer of the user's choice
  • 3rd - $25 gift card to online retailer of the user's choice

Wow, somebody throwing the big bucks at this. ๐Ÿคฃ

Tempted to submit it now, but I feel like November 4 is by far the best date to make these decisions.

I mean if we're gonna drag people kicking and screaming out from lurking I figure it needs incentive...

Okay, so with week 1 in the books I thought I'd post my preseason prediction for everyone to laugh at. Needless to say, I will be submitting my actual prediction later in the season.

  1. Georgia
  2. Oregon
  3. Clemson (lol, this was really more to mix things up than anything)
  4. Utah (Big XII is impossible to predict, so this could be any of them but I don't think they'll get 2 in)
  5. Ohio State
  6. Texas
  7. Penn State
  8. Miami (only didn't have them as the ACC champ because there's the chance they botch a kneel-down)
  9. Missouri (that's right, Mizzou and Ole Miss but no Bama)
  10. Notre Dame (I was a little spooked by their O-line injuries - feeling better about the Irish now)
  11. Ole Miss
  12. Boise State

Also, I have a hunch that getting the seeding right for teams 5 through 11 is going to be really hard to predict.
