PSU4ever11 relinquishes the overall lead after suffering a dismal 20 point week. That makes Ackiewicz our overall leader even though he suffered a very average 35 point week. But he made some bold picks like Fresno State over UCLA as his highest confidence pick so he earned it.
The high score for the week goes to RUSHRUSHRUSH who only nailed 7-out-of-10 of the picks, but he nailed all of his six highest confidence picks. That's how the game is won, people.
This week ESPN offers us another set of challenging games to predict. Here is the lineup.
| Away Team | Home Team | |
| #6 Penn State Nittany Lions (5-0) | vs. | Purdue Boilermakers (2-2) |
| #8 Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-0) | vs. | Kansas State Wildcats (3-1) |
| Arizona State Sun Devils (2-2) | vs. | California Golden Bears (3-1) |
| Illinois Fighting Illini (2-2) | vs. | Michigan Wolverines (2-2) |
| Florida State Seminoles (3-1) | vs. | Miami Hurricanes (2-2) |
| #14 Aurburn Tigers (4-1) | vs. | #19 Vanderbilt Commodores (4-0) |
| #23 Connecticut Huskies (5-0) | vs. | North Carolina Tar Heels (3-1) |
| #12 Ohio State Buckeyes (4-1) | vs. | #17 Wisconsin Badgers (3-1) |
| #5 Texas Longhorns (4-0) | vs. | Colorado Buffaloes (3-1) |
| #3 Missouri Tigers (4-0) | vs. | Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-1) |
Any thoughts?

PSU4ever11 takes the overall lead, but Coolhandlucky is coming on strong just one point behind. So it's just a matter of time, people. It's almost not fair.

Congrats go to Dr. Nick, Ackiewicz, and psuphiman80. All three of them were perfect in their week two picks. May you all live long and prosper.
Ackiewicz, who should next time really consider a name that's easier to spell, takes the overall lead with 106 points. But we're all on borrowed time as CoolHandLucky, the BSD resident supreme prognosticator and pick 'em expert, lurks in a tie for seventh place.
Your humble blogger has had a disappointing start scoring 42 points each of the first two weeks which has me sitting in a tie for 48th. I always start slow on these things and come on strong at the end to finish in the top ten.
The games this week feature some real head scratchers for me.
Wisconsin at Fresno State
Ohio State at USC
Georgia at South Carolina
Oklahoma at Washington
Auburn at Mississippi State
Oregon at Purdue
Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech
Iowa State at Iowa
UCLA at BYU
Michigan at Notre Dame
Any thoughts? Would the winners from last week like to offer an upset special?
