Board 8 > College Football Ladder Contest Week 14

(+) Yeah! (+)

Whoops, let it purge. Luckily I still sort of had it saved.

Someone actually moved up a level! I can't remember the last time that happened. I made level 7 way too hard.

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. You cannot pick an underdog of more than 7 points.

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

Level 4: Three-team teaser. Tease the lines six points in your favor, two wins and a push or three wins needed to pass.

Level 5: Pleaser. Pick one game and move the line 7 points to your detriment.

Level 6: Something fishy in Vegas. Pick one game, please both sides of the spread by 15 points and both sides of the O/U line by 25 points, creating two sets of mutually-exclusive but not all-inclusive picks. If any of these picks is a winner, you pass.

Level 7: Pick one straight-up winner from each of the ten FBS conferences. You may select no more than two double-digit favorites and no more than one of these can be a favorite of at least 20 points.

Damnit, Toledo! I wanted to just pick FSU and stay far away from the ACC Championship Game. Which I probably could've done if I'd jumped out and had this ready by Monday afternoon (yes, there is a backup available for C-USA).

Big Ten: Wisconsin
Big 12: Oklahoma

Each time the last two weeks you mentioned someone moving up, it was me

Nobody's gonna pass level 7, but 5 and 6 were attainable!

Uhh, uhh

Pac-12: USC

I'll do the rest later, I forgot I had to do this now

Not that it matters - level 7 is close to impossible this week, your odds of passing it are like... 1 in 200 at best

It's not been especially more possible in other weeks. The restrictions on the lines you can and can't take actually make this week pretty normal.

whoops I'm doing so bad I didn't even register that it was still going on

Level 4 (lines already teased):
Auburn (+3.5) vs Georgia
Boise St (-3.5) vs Fresno St
Troy (+7) at Arkansas St
---

I forgot to do these

So far the teams that I would have picked are winning but something will get messed up along the way

Okay well, I would have picked Auburn over Georgia, so I would have failed

I would have gotten every other one right, at this rate!

I never liked Auburn's odds in a rematch, but I would rather die than bet on Georgia's success.
---

I would have lost on Fresno State too turns out

damn kev. so close.
---

I regret nothing!
