Welcome back everyone, we had a rough week last week, with a couple of major upsets. Just a reminder, if you missed the first 2 weeks, you can still join, as I will be dropping your worst two weeks of the season.

The rules are simple, pick a winner for each of the 20 games, then rank your confidence in that pick with 20 being the most confident and 1 being the least confident. The total number of points for your picks should always add up to 210.

Games will lock as they begin, most weeks, the first game will be 11 AM central on Saturday, but some weeks there might be a Friday night game. If you happen to be late to the party that week, I will simply move those games into your lowest confidence picks, and you can pick the rest. Also, I will be dropping your worst two weeks of the season, so if you happen to miss Week 1, you can still win.

Here are the games for Week 3:

#5 Miami at Wake Forest (Friday)
#22 Houston at #13 Texas Tech (Friday)
Bowling Green at Iowa St
Arizona St vs Kansas (London)
North Carolina at Clemson
NC State at Vanderbilt
