Yes, I am capable of actually getting the topic up in time for Sun Belt Tuesdays. Occasionally. Speaking of which...an expanded marquee is super tempting because it's so rare that I'd get a chance to put the Sun Belt of all conferences on the marquee (well, I technically could've opted to put Arkansas State on the marquee when they faced Alabama, but I considered that too ridiculous and took the alternate option) and Appalachian State-Georgia Southern doesn't quite make the top five, though it does meet the criteria for consideration, but there actually only are nine games that "merit consideration" so doubling the marquee would require me to just pick something out of thin air.

Also, as stated, I took out the arbitrary requirement in level 6. It's still a very tough level to pass, as was pointed out to me, but at least you've got freedom to mix and match!

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

Level 3: Three-team teaser. Tease the lines six points in your favor, two wins and a push or three wins needed to pass.

Level 4: First! Pick a winless team to get their first win or an undefeated team to suffer their first loss. If you are predicting a favorite to win, they must also cover the spread (a push is sufficient). You may also select "none" if you think that every game between two winless or two undefeated teams will result in the favorite winning but failing to cover the spread and that no other teams will get their first win or suffer their first loss. Also, for this level, only the team that you are predicting will lose must be from the FBS.

Level 5: Pleaser. Pick one team and move the line 7 points to your disadvantage.

Level 6: Triple points pleaser. Pick either three over/unders and move the lines on each 5 points to your disadvantage. 3 out of 3 needed to pass.

Marquee Games:
Florida (+7) vs. Georgia (O/U 51.5) (Jacksonville, FL)
Iowa (+5.5) @ Penn State (O/U 53)
South Florida (+7.5) @ Houston (O/U 72.5)
Washington State (+3) @ Stanford (O/U 56)
Texas A&M (+2.5) @ Mississippi State (O/U 44)

Those over/unders aren't terribly stable yet, because of how early I'm putting up the topic this week. Also, in a way it's lucky that no one's actually on Level 4 because the "favorites must also cover" clause could easily come into play with that line locked on the marquee.
