Play Game Weekly Upset Contest for 2026

BB73
THE BEST CONTEST ON THE INTERNET IS BACK!!!!!

Once again, this will be a simple contest to participate in. Each week I will list all of the underdogs in the Div 1-A games that I see a point-spread for at the beginning of the week. Each person may pick 1 and only 1 team each week; just post your pick in this thread.

You must pick your team before the kickoff of your game. It isn't mandatory to make a pick every week, but if you don't, you obviously can't earn any points that week.

If your team wins outright, you are awarded the amount of points that they were assigned in the spread; if they lose you get 0 points. So it's riskier to pick Little-Sisters-of-the-Poor +47 when they play Texas Tech, but you get a ton of points if they win, as opposed to getting only a couple of points when you pick a close game. You get no points for a team that covers but still loses.

Once I post the point spreads inside this thread, they are locked for purposes of this contest. Only the spreads listed in this thread will be used to award points.

The entire season-long contest will exist in this one thread. Each week I will post the points for that week and the season-to-date totals. Whoever has the most points after the Conference Championship Games in December will be declared the winner, and will receive ¤25,000 Sportsbook "cash".

There will be a separate contest in December for Bowl game upsets.

3-year college degrees grow more popular in the US, saving time and cash. But critics aren't sold

Giles Sims, 34, was sick of getting passed over for jobs because he didn’t have a college degree. As of this spring, 26 U.S. states have a college that offers at least one reduced-credit, three-year ...

I finished undergrad a million years ago. One of my high school classmates picked his college specifically as it let him finish in three years. And he may have had a handful of AP credits, but nothing like today when you can earn college credits while in high school. He just knew what he wanted and pursued it.

after sitting on a grand jury in Columbiana country where this went down... the possession of criminal tools is the phone used to make the meeting, the $160 fits right in with what we were told multiple times during the 2 days - but because he's rich the attempted engagement of prostitution charge becomes disorderly conduct - fucking joke

Ryan Day and LJ Sr seem to have the kid on speed dial, love it. If we added Hall, this would go from a ridiculous DL class to borderline unprecedented if we hold on to everyone. I say borderline because there have been some Clemson and Bama hauls in that stratosphere, but man I would be giddy.

Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Breaks Down Offensive Line Plan, Why Brandon Inniss Deserves Block O and Doesn't Like NFL Players Joining College Rosters​

Ohio State appears to have its starting offensive line.
During his press conference on Monday, Ryan Day announced that Ian Moore has been repping at left tackle and Austin Siereveld is at right guard with the ones. Other than that, the personnel remains the same, with Luke Montgomery at left guard, Carson Hinzman at center and Phillip Daniels at right tackle.
In addition to sharing what the offensive line looks like, Day discussed why Brandon Inniss was a good fit for the Block O jersey, why Payton Pierce deserved captaincy and his thoughts on NFL players being added to college rosters, among many other topics.
A quick recap of his Monday presser:
  • Day named the aforementioned group as the ones right now, saying "they're working together right now, and they're getting a lot of reps."
  • On Brock Boyd: "I think he's going to play. How much is to be determined, but he will play. And somebody who has had a really good camp."
  • When Siereveld returned from a minor injury, he went right to guard as that's where he's been repping and not tackle.
  • On Ian Moore: "He's always been athletic, strong in the weight room, great mentality, intelligent ... a lot of it is just experience, and usually in that third year, you start to grow into your own, and that's what he's doing right now, playing with a lot of confidence."
  • Said the captains are "a great representation" of the 2026 team.
  • On Brandon Inniss getting the Block O: "It's just what he's done on a daily basis, the way he shows up, his work ethic, his leadership."
  • Called Jay Timmons a "bright spot."
  • On Simeon Caldwell: "Has really done a good job as a freshman. It's a lot as a safety to play, but he has great instincts. Communicates well for a young player."
  • Has not settled on a backup quarterback between Tavien St. Clair and Luke Fahey.
  • Does not have a No. 1 tight end at the moment; said a lot of guys will play depending on personnel, but Nate Roberts, Bennett Christian and Max Williams are at the top of the depth chart right now.
  • Why he named Payton Pierce captain: "He's somebody that leads from the front, which is important in today's day and age when a lot of guys want to lead by example. He's got a voice, and in that position, it's really important that everybody's on the same page."
  • Said the defensive tackles have "good depth," but they're still waiting for guys to "emerge" as starters.
  • Kyle Parker is not back from injury after appearing limited during the first three days of fall camp.
  • He anticipates six wide receivers playing this year, likely Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Inniss, Devin McCuin, Chris Henry Jr., Kyle Parker and Brock Boyd, but mentioned Phillip Bell as well.
  • On Luke Fahey: "He can handle all the stuff that's coming with it in terms of the protection checks, the run checks, calling in and out of the huddle, calling in the line of scrimmage, communicating, and then he has good anticipation."
  • Said there's nothing Tavien St. Clair is doing that's preventing him from taking the backup job, saying "as a quarterback, there's certain things that you continue to learn."
  • Said it's "frustrating" that at this point in the season teams haven't "locked in" their roster with the new 5-for-5 rule with eligibility. Has talked to Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti about the new rules. Doesn't like that there are NFL players being added to rosters, but he has to do what's best for Ohio State.
  • On Arthur Smith: "He's been a great communicator, a good leader, confident with the guys."
  • On quarterback recruiting: "We think it's strong. We got really good guys, not just players, but as people, guys who understand what it means to be at Ohio State."
  • Asked about where the team stacks up, Day said, "there's a lot of areas that we got to improve in fast, but there's also a lot of things that I've seen that are encouraging. So that's been good, but we're nowhere near where we need to be."
  • Said having Julian Sayin and Carson Hinzman returning as starting quarterback and center has been beneficial to have that experience and presence to get the offense orchestrated and prepared.
