Pick Six returns! Now on Mgoblog
Although we may despise Notre Dame there have been some valuable contributions by Notre Dame football blogs. One of the best was the Pick Six contest that the now defunct Notre Dame blog Blue-Gray Sky used to operate. Before the season you pick 5 ranked teams and one unranked team that you think will end the season with the highest rankings after the bowls are done.
I enjoyed entering the contest when Blue-Gray Sky was still around so with Brian's approval we're bringing Pick Six to MGoBlog.

The winner is based solely on the final poll of the year.
The weekly standings updates are just like regular season polls. Interesting to look at, but completely meaningless when determining the champion.

I'm second-guessing my B-pick...I think OSU is being hyped up too much this year in the Big 12 the more I think about it, and Nebraska will be better. But oh welll...I already submitted these choices.
I picked Notre Dame by virtue of 3 things: (1) ND is always overratted, regardless of how good they actually are, (2) Brian Kelly may actually be having them on the right track for once, (3) Their schedule, as always, is extremely favorable for success.

Anything stopping people from using every e-mail address under the sun for this competition? I'm gonna enter 5 times, get the 5 best entries, and win 7 MGoShirts.
New contest: how many e-mail addresses would I need to ensure that one of them was the winner? (Disclosure: I'm not good at math so I won't know the correct answer. My guess is it involves some type of factorial and/or permutation.)

There are 296,875 possible entries. However, the 3,125 entries that pick Eastern Michigan as the unranked team are probably not going to be winners.
