Play Game Weekly Upset Contest for 2023, won by CMic

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, 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.

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.

2005 winner: @AkronBuckeye (64 points)
2006 winner: @briegg (64 points)
2007 winner: @MolGenBuckeye (83.5 points)

2021 winner: @gracelhink (75.5 points)
2022 winner: @Honor&Glory (91.5 points)
2023 winner @CMic (60 points)

This post will get the new picks and current standings updated each week. There will also be a post with that info near the end of the thread.

Nigel Glover Commits to Ohio State

We just received a commitment from former 2023 class 4* Ohio LB Nigel Glover, who is a likely LB prospect here but is growing into the position physically. He had a rather stranger path in getting here, as he was set to be at NW this year before the Fitzgerald firing. Additionally, OSU never offered him last year but pursued him after Glover entered the portal (presumably partly due to only having one LB commit in the '23 class).

Due to being at the 85 man limit, Glover will grayshirt this year and go onto scholarship in the second semester. He reportedly chose the grayshirt opportunity here over immediate scholarships at Kentucky and ttun. I believe that arrangement is perfect for both sides, as Glover needs a little time to develop physically and absorb our defensive scheme, and we can stay at the 85 man limit.

Didn't see a thread for him, so I wanted to create one and welcome Nigel back to Ohio.
