NCAA Footbal Game: Pick the Dog - Week 3

[twikoff]

one thing about this game.. even people that missed a week or two have a good chance of joining and getting right into the mix. There is no guarantee that anyone will get any points, any week.. You just need one good pick to go from being new to the game, to first place.. So even if you werent in previous weeks.. Feel free to join now.

Each week, you will pick 3 teams ranked in the AP top 25 to lose.
You can pick a game with 2 ranked teams, as long as you are picking the lower ranked team to win.

If the team you picked loses, you will earn (26 - x) points based on their ranking. (example.. you pick #25 fresno state to lose to toledo, if toledo wins, you would earn 1 point (26 - 25).... or you pick #9 Alabama to lose to Arkansas, if Arkansas wins you would earn 17 points (26-9))
If you picked 2 ranked teams, you only earn the different between their rankings. (example, if you picked Florida State to beat Wake Forest and FSU wins the game, you would earn 6 points (24-18)).

There is NO PENALTY for an incorrect pick.

only SATURDAY games will be included.. and all submissions must be posted by 10am est on game day.. Any post that is received OR EDITED after 10am on game day, will not be accepted.

The game will run for 10 weeks and all points will be cumulative. If there is a tie at the end, we will use the 11th week to break that tie.

Here is the top 25 schedule of games for this week<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=558 style='border-collapse: collapse;table-layout:fixed;width:418pt'> <col width=131 style='mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:4790;width:98pt'> <col width=161 style='mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:5888;width:121pt'> <col width=179 style='mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:6546;width:134pt'> <col width=87 style='mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:3181;width:65pt'> <tr height=20 style='height:15.0pt'> <td colspan=4 height=20 class=xl65 width=558 style='height:15.0pt;width:418pt'>October 4th - Week 3</td> </tr> <tr height=20 style='height:15.0pt'> <td height=20 class=xl66 style='height:15.0pt;border-top:none'>Time</td> <td class=xl66 style='border-top:none;border-left:none'>Favorite</td> <td class=xl66 style='border-top:none;border-left:none'>Underdog</td> <td class=xl66 style='border-top:none;border-left:none'>Pts Available</td> </tr> <tr height=20 style='height:15.0pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat: initial;background-attachment:initial;-webkit-background-clip: initial;

stupid insomnia

[DiceDice]

Like Penn St to win big

[Spicollidriver1]

Dice dice sort of missed the point you have to pick the underdogs that you think will win and also you need to pick 3.

[Daryl]

Ugh I missed the deadline coaching soccer this morning. Oh well. Just for kicks so I can be full of regret later:

Kansas State
Wisconsin
Hawaii

[twikoff]

the deadline is more for me, to make sure i get them in
games havent started.. im good with adding yours in

[twikoff]

while i think north carolina is an absolute lock this week
i dont know if i can bring myself to picking them, for only 2 points

i guess i should have taken this one..
while i knew it was a lock.. i figured it wasnt really worth it, for the measly 2 points
but besides vandy.. there havent been any others today

[Dr_Evil]

yeah not a very exciting week for the game.

[Spicollidriver1]

Missed Iowa state by 2

[twikoff]

looks like some people took vandy
and some people took uconn
but noone took both
with only 1 person taking hawaii.. and that game only being worth 4 points.. the standings arent going to change
quake and I end up in first this week (not that Im happy with that!)..
daryl has a chance of having 3rd to himself if hawaii wins
4 people are tied with 2 points..

Im updating the spreadsheet.. will cleanup the standings some in the morning

[Spicollidriver1]

hawaii was going to be my safe game I guess thats what I get for being indecisive.
