If you ain't got nothing better to do on Labor Day...

It's always nice to have this version of the sport on Sunday

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

Submit your ballots for our preseason poll HERE. These votes are anonymous and open to anyone, so feel free to contribute. So far the c/cfb poll has been relatively accurate and enough different from the AP/Coaches/cfp that it's worth checking out!

Never really was a debate, we were a school before they were a state and they wouldn't even be a state without us...
