Folks, college football has finally entered our lives once again.

And you know what that means: It’s tailgating season.

There’s nothing quite like a tailgate or homegate with some great food and good vibes to get you chanting and rowdy before a big rivalry game.

And even if your team is struggling to compete out on the field, at least there’s still another showdown you can win – for who’s got the best pre-game rituals out there. And that’s got just as many bragging rights on the line, if not more.

As the Official Smoked Sausage and Deli Meat Sponsor of College Football Playoff, Eckrich kicked off the 2021 season with a social contest to crown the first-ever ‘College Football Playoff National Tailgate Champion’. One lucky fan has the opportunity to win a trip to the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship and a specialty, one-of-a-kind Championship ring.

How do I enter?

So what does it take to be crowned the first-ever master of pre-game grilling? Well, it takes more than just firing up the grill and tuning the channel to college football. It’s about the non-stop energy and electricity in the atmosphere. It’s about grilling delicious meats so impeccable that even BBQ Twitter can’t complain about it.

If you’ve got some Eckrich naturally hardwood smoked sausage and deli meats being served, that’s definitely a step in the right direction.

And if you’re slapping those tender meats directly on the back of your truck with a unique tailgate setup, even better!

Or maybe, your meats have so much craftsmanship with sear marks so perfect, even vegetarians can appreciate it.

Whatever the reason you think you deserve to be the first-ever National Tailgate Champion, Eckrich wants to see what you got — and they’ve got their eyes set on the top of the class. From one-of-a-kind recipes to stunning homegate setups & decor, only the best will do. And in just two easy steps, you can enter the contest for yourself.
