Original Week 1 post:
In 2008, the posters of BuckeyePlanet.com defeated the Trojans of WeAreSC.com in a season-long contest of [strike]guessing[/strike] prognosticating. You can find last year's contest here.

It's a new year and the Challenge is back, but the Trojans are not. In their place are the good people of Bucknuts.com.

Here is how it works. Each week I will ask you to predict the performances of a select number of players (eg, how many yards does Boom Herron gain this week), as well as other things (eg, what is Ohio State's margin of victory over Navy).

I will give more info about the scoring later, but the gist is that you get points based on how close your predictions are, and you get bonus points for being the closest for a category. I will keep a running leader board every week to see who the top individual contestants are.

The team portion will work by taking the top 10 weekly contestants from each site. Those scores will be calculated each week, and a winner will be determined at the end of the bowls. The key is that participation is very important for a team to win, so get as many people to play as possible.

Here is the ballot for week one (DUE BY Saturday at 12pm ET / 9am PT):


Terrelle Pryor (total yards - rushing, receiving, returning, passing)
Dan Herron (total yards)
DeVier Posey (yards receiving)
Navy QB [FONT=verdana, arial, sans serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=arial, sans serif]Ricky Dobbs (total yards)[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
USC QB Matt Barkley (yards passing)
Bama WR Julio Jones (yards receiving)
Ohio State Margin of Victory over Navy (negative if you predict they lose)

Your submission should look like this:

149
137
116
115
111
99
27


or this
:

Terrelle Pryor (total yards - rushing, receiving, returning, passing)
149
Dan Herron (total yards)
137
DeVier Posey (yards receiving)
116
Navy QB [FONT=verdana, arial, sans serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=arial, sans serif]Ricky Dobbs (total yards)[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
115
USC QB Matt Barkley (yards passing)
111
Bama WR Julio Jones (yards receiving)
99
Ohio State Margin of Victory over Navy (negative if you predict they lose)
27
You can write whatever you want above or below the ballot, but please have the ballot conform to this model so that all I have to do is cut and paste. Picks are always due by the scheduled time of the first game involved. Please post your picks in this thread.

[Fine print: Posters who registered for this site after September 1 can participate as individuals but not for the team. Stats will be determined from team websites and my decisions are final]

Just FYI, in case a player is held out (eg, Julio Jones) that player will not be counted. So please predict under the assumption he will play. You can edit your post anytime up until the deadline
