SALT LAKE CITY — The countdown to the 2015 college football season is officially over as Week 1 gets underway tonight with 19 games listed on the schedule, including the highly anticipated matchup between the University of Utah and the Michigan Wolverines.
Weekly staff predictions aren't new to KSL.com, but this year we are excited to invite you to play along with us! KSL College Football Pick'em is a weekly contest in which fans pick the scores of five college football games (BYU, Utah and Utah State with prominent national games rounding out the 5).
After the game, the closest to the actual score that also correctly picked the winner will get the maximum number of points, with everyone else graded on a curve. Most games are with 50 points, with in-state rivalry games (BYU vs. Utah State, Utah State vs. Utah) and bowl games worth 100.
To make the contest more fun, create or join a group with your friends, family or office for ultimate bragging rights this college football season.
The overall points leader after Week 1 will receive a $30 VISA prepaid gift card, with more prizes to be announced as the season progresses.
