Are you excited? College football is really heating up and this is going to be a crazy week! I'm expecting a lot of upsets so when making your pick, make sure to pick a team you believe will easily win their game.
The first couple of weeks during each season, teams who are expected to do well play "cupcakes" -- teams in less competitive conferences who have no hopes or dreams of winning a national championship. This makes many games predictable. We are almost completely out of this territory now, and the real games begin. We have big matchups this week including Alabama vs. Texas A&M, Stanford vs. Oregon, and Wisconsin vs. Iowa.
To each their own, but I recommend choosing a game where a lopsided outcome is expected. See my pick below.
Deadline
Friday 11:59 PM CDT. Any entries after this time will not be accepted. If you are late or do not pick a team, you will be eliminated.
Do not pick teams that are not playing or teams that you picked in a previous week. If you've already been eliminated, I will respond to your comment below letting you know.
Week 3 Games Eligible for the Contest
Pick one college from the games below if you're alive. Just make sure that you haven't picked them previously and that you're still alive in the competition:
Georgia (#2) @ Missouri
Notre Dame (#8) @ Wake Forest
Nebraska @ Michigan (#19)
Boston College (#23) @ Purdue
Texas A&M (#22) @ Alabama (#1)
Clemson (#3) @ Georgia Tech)
Tulane @ Ohio State (#4)
Kansas State @ West Virginia (#12)
Virginia Tech (#13) @ Old Dominion
Florida International @ Miami (#21)
TCU (#17) @ Texas
McNeese @ BYU (#25)
Army @ Oklahoma (#5)
Louisiana Tech @ LSU (#6)
Mississippi State (#14) @ Kentucky
Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State (#15)
Arkansas @ Auburn (#9)
Michigan State (#24) @ Indiana
Stanford (#7) @ Oregon (#20)
Wisconsin (#18) @ Iowa
Arizona State @ Washington (#10)
My Pick: I Choose Virginia Tech (I picked Miami and Michigan the past two weeks). VT is playing an 0-3 Old Dominion who has little to no chance of winning this week in my opinion. But choosing them this week means I can't pick them again for the rest of the season.
Make sure to check your comments from me. If you are still in the competition, I will respond with something along the lines of "you're in.." Next week, I will start listing the users who are still alive in each post.
Good luck! Pick before Friday at 11:59 PM CST, and leave a comment below. There will be NO exceptions this week! Have any questions, ask below, and thanks for joining us.
