Board 8 > College Football Ladder Contest 2018: Week 3

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ouch. 1-1-1 is a rough way to lose on 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.

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 3:
KCF0107
Paratroopa1
TsunamiXXVIII
turbopuns2

Level 2:
Jakyl25
jcgamer107
kevwaffles
ShatteredElysium

Level 1:
baubeta

SmartMuffin

Marquee Games as originally chosen:

LSU (+10) @ Auburn (O/U 44.5)
West Virginia (-4) @ NC State (O/U 49) - game postponed due to hurricane
Boise State (+2.5) @ Oklahoma State (O/U 64.5)
Ohio State (-12.5) @ TCU (O/U 59)
Washington (-5) @ Utah (O/U 47)

Replacement on the marquee for WVU-NC State:

Vanderbilt (+14) @ Notre Dame (O/U 52)

Three non-conference games including a Group of 5 team? I love it!

Okay, I'll admit that blind homerism wouldn't have served me any better than that stupid Arkansas State covering pick did...but this week is different.

Level 3:

Rutgers +8.5 @ Kansas
Miami (OH) @ Minnesota -7
Arizona State +1 @ San Diego State

Something tells me I won't be the only one on this level on at least one of those games...I seem to have picked someone else's home team, too.
---

Level 2:

Vanderbilt @ Notre Dame (U 52)
Washington @ Utah (O 47)
Middle Tennessee @ Georgia (O 54.5)
---

Level 3

Auburn
West Virginia
Oklahoma State

Posting this for now since I'm not sure if I'll have any service between 10 minutes from now and game time

Also not 100% clear on how the teasing rule works

Level 3 (lines already teased):
Florida St. at Syracuse (+9)
Vanderbilt (+20) at Notre Dame
South Florida (-5) at Illinois

Random games didn't work last week, but I am 2/3, so I might as well stick with it for another week or two.

I know that you are referring to me, but even if I wasn't doing random games, I would probably have avoided the Golden Gophers this week. They are low on talent on the offensive side, and they have now lost their top two HBs for the season. I hope that I'm wrong, but I just have a feeling that game could end up as a push.

Of course if GT goes an entire half without scoring at all, that changes things.

First two random games worked out wonderfully, but it is looking like the third will be my undoing.
---

I am really sweating out all 3 of mine lol
---

Wait am I allowed to switch or have a plan B for if a game gets an indefinite weather delay? I didn't even think about it before

If so, TCU

Alright well i got Michigan/SMU. Just need LSU/Auburn or Wisconsin/BYU to stay under.
---

cool thanks BYU
---

Wow i went 3-for-3 :O
---

yikes ole miss not off to a good start

Holy shit, USF outscored Illinois 18-0 in the 4th, and they covered by 1 point!
