I’m just now finding out they added a college football SuperContest for this season. It’s already week 2 so we’re out of the week 1 picks. But I’ll take my 0-1 because I said on the Draft Professor channel that Baylor would beat Auburn 38-31.
The format is similar to the NFL SuperContest which I posted my picks earlier this week (also 0-1 there at the time I’m posting this). For college, you pick any 7 games you want. Extremely simple. Purely for my own entertainment, I’m going to pick every single game on the card with a heavy emphasis on tracking my Big 12 picks since I’ve established myself as a Big 12 guy.
I will be posting my NFL picks prior to the TNF game each week, and the college picks will come out on Fridays.
Another reminder, these are not bets I will be placing myself. I do this for the fun of being right.
The SuperContest Picks & Why:
(Clemson -33 vs Troy) After a tough loss at home to LSU, Cade Klubnik & the Tigers are due for a bounce back. The defense is the team’s strong point with top 2026 NFL Draft prospects, Peter Woods and TJ Parker.
(Kansas +6.5 at Missouri) The Border War returns for the first time since 2011 and the people of Lawrence, Kansas believe the Hawks are back. I believe in Jalon Daniels and Lance Leipold to keep it close.
(Colorado -23.5 vs Delaware) I like to think Deion Sanders and the Buffs figure it out against a team that is in its first season as an FBS program. They lost to a damn good Georgia Tech team last week.
(Illinois -3 at Duke) My guy Steve and I covered this on the Draft Professor channel. Without S Terry Moore for Duke, I like the Fighting Illini here even on the road. Key matchup will be DE Gabe Jacas vs OT Brian Parker II.
(South Florida +17.5 at Florida) The Bulls absolutely annihilated Boise State to open the season. Florida will be a different animal, but I like QB Byron Brown to keep USF in the game down the stretch.
(Michigan State -4.5 vs Boston College) I’m a huge fan of QB Aiden Chiles and I think he continues taking the next step this season before potentially being in QB1 conversation in 2027. Home game here, I like the Spartans.
(BYU -18.5 vs Stanford) True freshman QB Bear Bachmeier left Stanford during spring practice and connects with his brother, WR Tiger Bachmeier. Another WR Chase Roberts is someone I have a Day 2 grade on. Roll Cougs.
