The ten · Week 1
The ten games worth arguing about this week. Locks at the first kickoff · Aug 29ET
Switch to Predict and pick them, then copy
the link and send it to someone who disagrees. Each game locks when it kicks off, so a
card cannot be filled in after the fact, and
compare picks will show you only the ones you split on.
Confidence points. In predict mode each
game here carries a 1–10 box. Rank your ten and a wrong favorite costs what you
said it was worth — your scorecard totals what
you earned against what you staked. Leave them blank and nothing changes.

1 gameHow these ten were chosen
By arithmetic on the same board you can see, not by anyone's
judgement of what matters. Each game scores for a ranked team (more for a higher
rank), for a close betting line, for being a conference game, and for the two
teams' efficiency ratings; a lopsided line scores against it however good the
favorite is, and a game against an FCS opponent scores heavily against.
The top ten by that score make the card, in kickoff order.
That means the card can miss a rivalry
with two unranked teams, and it will. It is a rule, and a rule you can check beats
a list someone picked.
