Board 8 > College Football Ladder Contest 2018: Week 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm going to try to limit my "weird things" this year, though I still maintain my planned level 9 that I've never had to unveil. Therefore, the level that had been Level 2 when SmartMuffin ran this but had frequently been Level 3 under my reign is once again Level 2.

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.

Going to put my faith in C-USA being "Big 12 Junior"--high-powered offenses, but little defense.

Western Kentucky @ Wisconsin OVER 52.5
Florida Atlantic @ Oklahoma OVER 72
UTSA @ Arizona State OVER 53.5

Picking three random games for Level 2:

Mississippi at Texas Tech - Over 67.0
Central Michigan at Kentucky - Under 49.0

Level 1
Auburn -1.5

Btw Im at the tech/ole miss game if anyone is watching. They closed the upper levels and everyone got a free upgrade. Despite that its still not full down here. But my seats are like perfect. I dont know if theres any other seat Id rather have.
---

Nah, I'm watching Rutgers in the early time slot as usual. Already blocked a field goal. 50th blocked kick for Rutgers since 2009. As pitiful as they are as a whole, I love watching Rutgers on special teams.

Oh cool, my random game strategy worked!

Jim Harbaugh is a joke
