Here we go again! Time for the spread pick'em contest!

Here's how it works...
Just pick the winner based on the spread. I'll give you 10 matchups from across all of college football to choose from each week, all Saturday games. Just get your picks in before kickoff on Saturday morning. Each week I'll update the standings and post them.

Here's the posters that have earned bragging rights so far...

Past Champions
Regular Season
2012 - Hawkeyepower100
2013 - nwiowahawkeyefan
2014 - IowaHawkeyeFB&BB4Life

Bowls
2012 - Obviously Oblivious
2013 - Ycusi
2014 - d_i


So without further delay, here's the matchups for week 1! Note: No line for Iowa or ISU games yet so I set them myself. Also note: I'm no oddsmaker.


WEEK 1 MATCHUPS​
Illinois State @ Iowa (-7.5)
Northern Iowa @ Iowa State (-3.5)
Wisconsin vs Alabama (-10)
BYU @ Nebraska (-6)
Stanford (-12) @ Northwestern
Penn State (-7) @ Temple
Texas @ Notre Dame (-9.5)
Arizona State vs Texas A&M (-3)
Louisville vs Auburn (-10.5)
Virginia @ UCLA (-17)

Louisville vs Auburn (-10.5)
Virginia @ UCLA (-17)
 
A little confusion here... are we just flat out picking the winners of each game or do we take the spread into account if we don't think the favorite is going to cover it?
