Board 8 > College Football Ladder Contest Week 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

...I messed up again. Sorry this is so late.

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, using the official Selection Committee Rankings if you're still at this level by the time they start coming out and the AP Poll prior to that. The ranked team must not be an underdog of at least 7 points (generally only happens when the favorite is also a ranked team). Alternatively, if you think that no ranked teams will lose (or the only ones that will lose are underdogs of at least 7 points), you can use "no valid option" as your pick and will advance if this comes to pass; this option must be chosen before any valid pick has kicked off.

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

Marquee games:
Auburn (+5.5) @ Clemson (O/U 53.5)
Oklahoma (+7.5) @ Ohio State (O/U 64.5)
Georgia (+4.5) @ Notre Dame (O/U 56.5)
Stanford (+6) @ USC (O/U 55)

---

Level 3: Louisiana-Monroe @ Florida State UNDER 53
Tulane @ Navy OVER 47.5
Hawaii @ UCLA OVER 63.5
---

Level 2: USC

I would say Georgia, but I have no faith in Notre Dame
---

Level 2: Auburn

Also think Georgia will lose with a true freshman starting at QB.
---

tag for later

And I certainly hope Georgia loses. There are only a few times I'll root for Notre Dame, but this sure as hell is one of them.

bumps

Just learned that FSU's game has been canceled as well. Kind of figured it would be.

Don't have the full list of games right now since I'm on my phone but I wasn't really confident in many games anyway so I'll just replace it with Boise State @ Washington State OVER 57.5.
---

Yeah, fortunately (relatively speaking) all the state of Florida teams were playing unimportant games.
---

Level 2: Auburn loses
---

Level 3
Auburn @ Clemson OVER 53.5
Oklahoma @ Ohio State UNDER 64.5
Mid Tenn @ Syracuse UNDER 75.5
---

Level 3
Nebraska/Oregon OVER 68.5
Hawaii/UCLA OVER 64
Houston/Arizona OVER 69.5

just counting on some bad pac-12 defense

Level 1

COUGS over Boise St

While this is a sound strategy I cannot believe you didn't pick ND and Georgia under with Georgia's QB out.
---

I didn't do that because I figured the under still favored the possibility of uga winning, and I can't bet on that.
---

that Wazzou/Boise game was wiiillllld

South Florida was supposed to play a conference game!

I still have no idea why the Florida teams that were supposed to be playing road games outside of the state also got canceled.
---

Didn't notice USF's game, whoops.

But yeah, I'm unclear on that as well. Did it disrupt their practice schedule? I wouldn't have thought so.

Bump

@TsunamiXXVIII
Maybe we can get an early one this week?
---

I screwed up my Monday. I've got it, though.
