6. KansasAlright gents, time for another season of Pick 'Em. Not a ridiculous amount of quality games this week, but all 6 of these games will feature top 50 teams.
For the team that you have the most confidence in winning that week, assign them a value of 6 points; for the team that you think has the second highest chance of winning that week, give them a value of 5 points, and so forth. Each poster can have their lowest weekly total waived from their cumulative score. And I'll include double-point weeks occasionally.
Last year, I frequently included 7 games with the idea that roughly 1 game a week would be canceled. I'm going back to 6 games a week, as I don't foresee too many cancelations this year.

Probably would have done the Furman/Belmont game today if it wasn't being played today. A 9-hour window to get the pick in for that game is too small. That's a monster resume-building matchup. Two of the best mid-majors in the country.

FWIW, I like Belmont in that game.
Bryce seems to be as advertised. Trey has been awful.You forgot to include "F Bryce and Trey McGowens."
Bryce seems to be as advertised. Trey has been awful.
Excited to watch Bryce play tomorrow. Should be a fun player to watch. And yes, Trey has been more than disappointing... Also curious to see if Alex O'Connell has gotten any better. Feel like Creighton has a better team, but Nebraska has the home crowd and the best player on the court.
then so did IFWIW, I like Belmont in that game.
I'm the only one on NC State so far. Either a really good or really stupid move.

Man, those are some tough games to pick. All are essentially a coin flip, imo. I have zero confidence in any of these picks. 😆 This early in the season it's just a crap shoot.
FYI, I would have picked UVA with my 1 confidence if you included UVA/Houston
