NCAA Football: Pick the Dog Week Four - 2011 Edition
Each week, you will pick three underdogs to beat teams ranked in the AP top 25.
You can pick a game with two 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.
Examples: You pick Toledo to beat #25 Fresno State. If Toledo wins, you would earn 1 point (26 - 25).... You pick Baylor to beat #9 Northern Arizona, if Baylor wins you would earn 17 points (26-9))
If you picked two ranked teams, you only earn the different between their rankings. Example: You picked #24 SMU to beat #18 Bowling Green and SMU wins the game, you would earn 6 points (24-18)).
There is NO PENALTY for an incorrect pick.
Only SATURDAY games will be included, unless otherwise noted. All submissions must be posted by kickoff of the first game (usually 12:00 PM ET on game day. Any post that is received OR EDITED after that time 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.

You didn't include me in the standings. Missing that first (and 2nd) week didn't help me, but I'm not completely out of it
