Slow and steady wins the race, right?
The first week we had 10 people submit picks. Last week there were 12. If we follow that pattern we will have 14 this week—but let's try to change that pace up! Let's go for 20! That's right, you heard me—20!
If you are reading this and thinking about submitting picks, please do. The more people that play, the more entertaining it will be.
Results of Week Three
There were three upsets that occurred in last week's picks—Ohio State over Miami (FL), Michigan over Duke, and Ohio State over Notre Dame. If you picked everything correctly you would have walked away with 13 points. But don't let me bore you any more—here are the results.
Andrew Kahn - 8
Kristofer Green - 7
Ryan Brennan - 7
Jameson Fleming - 6
Jonathan Braus - 6
Ryan Callahan - 6
Alexander Jesswein - 5
Samuel Silverman - 4

Week Four Picks
As a reminder, upsets are worth two points. To avoid any confusion, an upset will be defined as a lower-ranked team defeating a higher-ranked team, with the rankings coming from the Bleacher Creature Top 25.
***The Bleacher Creature Top 25 rankings are not out yet, but in the interest of giving you enough time to make your picks, I am posting now. I will update the article with the official rankings later on, but as a best guess: Davidson will be ranked over West Virginia, Texas will be ranked over Villanova, Memphis will be ranked over Georgetown, and Xavier will be ranked over Cincinnati.***
