Accept no substitutes. The Internet's longest-running Championship Bingo board is back for 2016. Let's cook.

The rules:

Everything that happens on the main ESPN broadcast (not the Megacast) between "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the clock hitting 0:00 is fair game. Yeah, we all have the same board. Some things are up to interpretation. You can follow along on Twitter for up-to-the-minute rulings and in this post for periodic official board updates, but your board is ultimately your board. If you feel Nick Saban's furious, then Nick Saban's furious, whether anybody agrees or not. The only way to lose is to get so mad about Bama being here that you don't watch.

Those are the rules.

Final update:

Incredibly close to bingo, but it comes up just short. This year's bingo was the Clemson Tigers. An amazing run and a close call, but just a little bit short of winning it all.

Third quarter update:

After a very active third quarter we are SO CLOSE to multiple bingos. A Clemson trick play gets us one. Kirby Smart having two jobs gets us another and Larry Culpepper showing up would also hit bingo.

Halftime update:

The second quarter provided a couple of squares, but didn't move us much closer to a bingo. Still plenty of work to do in the second half.

First quarter update:

There has been some early progress with a few hit squares, but nothing close to a bingo quite yet. A player running off the plug twice could really help the cause. Someone dance!
