SEC Football Week 5 Challenge: Pick your roster

SEC Football Week 5 Challenge: Pick your roster

NEW: Discuss this topic in the Google+ community for SEC fans.

We had a fun contest last week and four of you beat the SDS roster. Congrats to bcmf42 for winning the $75. Well done. Here’s the top five:

We’re going to be running the contest again this week for the week 5 SEC games. The game works the same where you take $1,000,000 in salary cap and pick your roster for the week.

Picking the roster this week is quite interesting. You can expect a lot of points in the Texas A&M / Arkansas game, but what about Tennessee / Georgia? Want another shoot out? How about Ole Miss / Alabama. Who is ballsy enough to take Bo Wallace as their QB? Extra credit if you go big on Bo.

Here’s my roster:

  2. thank you for setting this up… great contest. hmm… only 1 of 17 opponents saw value in cobi at $63k last week… let’s see if the price bump to $156k this week attracts some buyers…
