The 2024 weekly six-man pick 'em is up and ready to go! I've changed the deadline to be kickoff of the first game in the pick 'em each week, as we have it in our schedule.

Since this is the first time doing this by the week, and I may have missed some things during testing, please let me know if there are any issues so I can get them fixed ASAP!

It's finally rankings day y'all! The pre-season rankings are out, as well as the week 1 spreads.

Also, don't forget the weekly fan polls are live and the weekly pick 'em will be coming soon!

Ok y'all, I just finished updating the site yet again. Now I just need to go in and give ratings to teams that are either new or have a rating too low to start the new season. I'll be working on that here throughout the rest of the day. Everything else is ready to go! So, rankings will definitely be here first thing Monday morning (I may even let them roll tomorrow afternoon).

In the meantime, the week 1 fan polls are open! Y'all be sure to get those picks in. I'll make an announcement later on entry times and deadlines for this, and the pick 'em. Until then, y'all vote away!

It's coming down to the time of year when I'm getting asked quite a bit "when do the rankings come out". Just like Granger did, at least a few years before I took over, the goal is always to have them out by the first week of August. That hasn't changed so I'm looking at having them finalized late next week, through the weekend, or early the week after (two weeks from today). So, be on the lookout for that!

Also, we'll still be doing our fan polls again this year. We'll open those up for week one picks shortly after the rankings come out. Nothing will change for this. Just list your top 10 in order each week so we can see how the masses feel about each division leading up to game day(s)!

Finally, one of the most requested features, we'll be doing a weekly six-man pick'em during the entire season. We'll let The Toy determine, each week, what the top 40 games are (public and private schools included), and we'll pick from those. Compete against one another and against The Toy for bragging rights. Just like with the fan polls, we'll go ahead and open up week one shortly after the rankings come out.

It's been coming for a while but I finally got around to upgrading the site's server/software today. You can check out a list of a few of the non-football related features that were added with this update, here.

I'm mostly finished with the updates so if you notice anything with the site that appears to be broken, please let me know. Obviously it's much easier to find broken things when there are more eyes on it than just mine and I'm almost certainly to have missed something.

Now let's get on with the football season! We're almost there y'all!

I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I'm trying to automatically backfill some game data and get some thoughts on whether my thinking is correct.
