It figures that I can put this up on Thursday week after week with no problems, but when I actually manage to get my act in gear on Wednesday, I fall victim to the purge monster.

Rules
- State which level you're on when you make your pick. Usually it should be obvious, but say it anyway.
- Deadline for making a pick is the start of the earliest game that you're picking. This means that if you are on a level that involves picking multiple teams, ALL of your teams are locked as soon as one of your teams has kicked off. If you don't have a pick in by the start of the early games, you can just pick later games, but if you can't make an eligible pick out of the games that haven't started yet, you can't advance that week.
- Conferences featured in games may be imposed at certain levels, but unless otherwise stated, any game(s) featuring two FBS teams are eligible.
- I'll list some marquee games each week, but you're not restricted to these. If you pick other games, make sure that your lines can be verified.

Level 1: Pick one game against the spread.

Level 2: Down goes Goliath. Pick a ranked team to lose. You cannot pick an underdog of more than 7 points.

Level 3: Pick three over/unders; 2 out of three passes.

Level 4: Three-team teaser. Tease the lines six points in your favor, two wins and a push or three wins needed to pass.

Level 5: Pleaser. Pick one game and move the line 7 points to your detriment.

Level 6: Something fishy in Vegas. Pick one game, please both sides of the spread by 15 points and both sides of the O/U line by 25 points, creating two sets of mutually-exclusive but not all-inclusive picks. If any of these picks is a winner, you pass.

Level 7: Pick one straight-up winner from each of the ten FBS conferences. You may select no more than two double-digit favorites and no more than one of these can be a favorite of at least 20 points.

Marquee games:
Iowa State (+7) @ Texas Tech (O/U 67.5)
Central Florida (-7.5) @ Navy (O/U 66)
Kentucky (+11.5) @ Mississippi State (O/U 54.5)
Michigan (+9.5) @ Penn State (O/U 45)
USC (+3.5) @ Notre Dame (O/U 65.5)

...Wow. Not only is Navy, a Group of Five team, in a marquee game for a second straight week, they're literally in the upper half of the 10 teams in historical prestige. Seriously, the SEC and Big 12 both have a game on the marquee, and the most historically relevant program of the four of them is probably Texas Tech.
