Welcome back everyone, week 5 was slightly better than last week, with a few upsets. I will be counting the highest 3 weeks in the overall standings.

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. There are obviously a couple of big Friday games this week:

Here are the games for Week 6:

Florida St at Louisville (Friday)
#20 Iowa at Washington (Friday)
Iowa St at #8 BYU (Friday)
#7 Indiana at Nebraska
Texas A&M at #14 Missouri
UCF at #18 Oklahoma St
