Week 3 question

[Walter]

This might be the worst week of college football all year. There is almost not one game played by a ranked team that isn't about a 3 TD spread.
So, here's the Q.
Rather than have a bunch of unranked teams on the pick list, I was pondering the idea of embracing the bad and listing all the big spread games anyway.
Problem is, it doesn't seem very satisfying if, say, USF covers the 33 point spread or not. Or is it?

What do y'all think?
Embrace the bad or give some unranked teams some love?

I'd take Western Kentucky to cover over Ohio St. Just saying

I’m fine with unranked as long as the games are listed on here early.

I am good with either approach.

On a side note, I will be taking the Tide in that game. LOL USF still isn't very good.

You didn't like and pointed out to me last season for picking OSU's opponents + points. Changed your mind now I see.

That's nearly identical to my list.
I'll post it tonight.

Some of the top ten should be represented in the picks. There are a few conference matchups this Saturday. Not all have Western Kentucky or Colorado State (or Nebraska?) as whipping boys.
