The Smoking Musket Pick ‘Em Gauntlet is an online college pick ‘em game where we will try to pick the winners of the weekly Big 12 contests plus editors’ selected games (usually the games involving the top 25 teams). We do pick against the spread (when available). There are usually 20-30 games to pick each week and each correct pick is worth one point.
This year, we’re doing things a little bit different than in years past. Instead of having one winner, we’ll be sending the top 15 points earners a beautiful, limited edition Smoking Musket koozie.
We also switched from Yahoo! Fantasy to Fun Office Pools, simply because the 100 participant limit on Yahoo made it a pain in the ass to run two pools as one large pool.
All participants are subject to the Official Rules as determined by SB Nation.
To join us, first go to Fun Office Pools and setup an account if you don’t already have one, then come back here and click on this LINK. If you’re asked for a password, it’s letsgo.
Here are the top 19 performers in Week Five — with ties. Congratulations to Gperry91 for winning week one with 16 correct picks (all you win for this is kudos). To view the full Week Three standings, click here.
