Join the TET CFB Pick 'Em on Yahoo! Sports

Since many of you have mentioned lately about prognosticating some upcoming games, I thought it might be fun this season for Track Em Tigers to sponsor our own Pick 'Em contest for free on Yahoo! Sports. Here's how it works: Go here first to set up your free account with Yahoo. It will ask you for the group ID. It is 17588. The password is auburn09. If you don't already have a Yahoo email account, you will need to sign up for one of those, too.
Here are the rules: We pick against the spread for the top games each week. The deadline to change your picks is 5 minutes before the start of the first game on the list. You can change your picks as many times as you like prior to that deadline. At the end, your lowest scoring TWO weeks will be thrown out. That leaves the door open for some people to get in late and still have a chance at being competitive.
The number of entrants is limited, so hurry and sign up immediately. No, you don't have to be an Auburn fan to join. Sound off in the comments section below to let the rest of us know who's in. Your sign in name with the contest doesn't have to match up with your SB moniker, but it sure does make it convenient for the rest of us to know who we're gunning for. Standings will be posted in a thread each week.
This contest is for funsies only, so keep your hand out of your pocket! Maybe we'll do something special for the winner, like give them their own guest column slot or something. See if you can beat Jay, Zach, Acid and me! Let's play ball!!!!

My yahoo
…..id has been borked for over a decade, now. No chance, there, unless I generate a throw-away email address.
You can
because you can choose any email address to get notices sent to.

Made my picks. Two upsets were chosen, because there is always an upset on kickoff weekend.
I thought we were picking against the spread.
The spread is not showing up when I try to make my picks.

We are
Yahoo just hasn’t posted the spreads yet. Another Yahoo pick’em group I’ve been doing for like 5 years has always picked ATS and the spreads aren’t listed over there yet, either.

Thanks
I though maybe I did something wrong.

BTW
Once you’ve made your picks, others can go view them, so don’t think it’s secret or anything like that…

Let's do this!
Gonna give it a shot. Never did one against the spread…..really tough because CFB is so unpredictable at times. Looking forward to see how I do!
Love Jesus and then Football.
Who's the Commissioner?
My settings allow the commissioner to edit my picks….is that what I want to do? I’m not so sure I want the commissioner screwing around with my picks???
I'm the commish
but I thought I selected that I didn’t want that option. I don’t know if that was in general or if each person has the ability to select that. This is my first time as commish!

Okay
I looked and you did leave that option open. I think you can go back and change that if you like. Most people’s profiles tell me I’m unable to edit their picks. Don’t really know why I’d want to anyway, but everyone turn it off just in case!
