Board 8 > College Football Ladder Contest Week 0

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah, I'm dropping the "bonus points" thing. It wasn't working. ...Wait crap there are games today! I was planning on making this earlier in the week, but I didn't want to make it too early...ah, whatever, let's do this!

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. Except for this week because that's all there is.

Level 1: Pick one game against the spread.

Games:
Oregon State (+4) @ Colorado State
Portland State (+34) @ BYU
Hawaii (+2.5) @ Massachussetts
South Florida (-22) @ San Jose State
Rice (+30.5) @ Stanford

Yes, that's right, I'll even give you the FCS-FBS game today.

Actually, the FCS team seems like the best bet. They've been a thorn in the FBS's side a couple of years in a row, haven't they?

Level 1: Portland State +34
---

Level 1: Colorado State -4

EDIT: Wrote level 2 for some reason
---

Tag for later

Taking Hawaii and the points. Will be at the game in person.

Level 1: Hawaii +2.5
---

Level 1: Oregon State +4

I really don't know

Apparently the Beavs brought Pac-12 officiating quality with them to Colorado.

Absolute fucking joke
---

Level 1

Massachusetts (-2.5)
---

I legitimately did not realize the oregon state/colorado state game had even started, but if you don't want to take my word for it

Stanford -30.5

Level 1: Stanford -30.5

Everyone advances but KCF. Also SmartMuffin who posted but didn't actually play.

Everyone advances but KCF.

Fantastic

Welp.
missed 1st round
---

I might as well have
---

Hey, we all could have been one big happy family, but you're the only one who bet directly against someone else.

(Well, Para tried and failed to do so.)
---

Good thing too, my second bet was a hell of a lot better than my invalid first one

I was originally going to take Rice, so I was doomed regardless
---

Bump you go
---

Huh, nice turnout. If turnout was bad due to being so last-minute, I was going to just make it so that anyone who did pick correctly in Week 0 would have a tiebreaker advantage at the end and leave everyone on Level 1 anyway for Week 1...which, thanks to being on vacation for the earlier part of the week combined with my general spaciness, is also being put up at the last minute!
