It’s finally here folks, the first ever Sandwich Pickem Scramble.  We’ve invited the most intelligent, intriguing, and homerrific bloggers from all of Blogfrica to join us in a season-long selection-of-winners contest.  We’ll be picking 10 games a week, straight up, for pride, trash-talking, a jpeg trophy, and of course, bourbon.

So guys, post your picks in the Comments section. We’re not opposed to getting our asses beat and handing out prizes to you magnificent bastards.

• The witty, beautiful, and fully-orange-blooded Holly from Ladies… (Tennessee)

Our favorite comments from this weeks panel:

• “If we can all get behind Gardner-Webb about week 5, I think Sly Croom has a great shot at going winless in every division.” – Eday

• “Only two swamp-dwelling SEC teams would play this game in August.  It’s fucking August!!!  You couldn’t pay me enough money to go to this game.  I would drown in my own sweat.” – Extra P

• “Yes I took Okie State over UGA, let’s see how well Stafford does when he’s not cuddling dudes or pitching kegs, but rather dodging Big XII linemen.” – TGC

• “Tennessee… (gulp)” – Holly

• “UCLA has a very tough schedule this year, but Stanford is probably not going to hand them their first loss.” – Extra P

• “There, now quit hassling me about these picks.” – 2SL
