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.

Ohio State's scheduling big time non-conference opponents

saturdaysarebetter
When I hear about teams talking about how difficult their schedule is, it bothers me that Ohio State never gets enough credit for playing big-time non-conference opponents.

Just look at some of those opponents:
LSU 1987 & 1988
USC 2008 & 2009
Miami 2010 & 2011
Oklahoma 2016 & 2017
Notre Dame 2022 & 2023
Texas 2025 & 2026
Alabama 2027 & 2028

The Buckeyes fear no one!!!
