ESPN college pick em picks week 3 2020

It was a rough week last week in ESPN college pick em, and this week looks even tougher. Of course, not much went right for me last week and I’ve heard my fair share of heckling for it. It’s motivation to be better.

It was a rough first week for most of us in the FanSided Fantasy group, but no one could touch me. 18. That’s it. That’s all the points I had. 18 freaking points! It was by far my worst week of ESPN college pick em ever, and I’ve been playing it since they started it a decade ago. I only got three picks right. Good thing I had Oklahoma State at 9!

To be fair, it was a rough week for our entire group. Jay_da_gr8_1 rode his group-leading 36 points to first place this week. He put his faith in Alabama, Oklahoma State, and Georgia to hit all three of the top picks. Gamebreaker_boz jumps into second just two points behind Jay. Protege21242 is one point back of that in third place. JiggleyPuff and ernesto12 are tied for fourth place. Then there is a whole logjam between 6th and 12th with only five points separating those slots. I tanked all the way into a tie for 17th.

Alabama and Oklahoma State were clean sweeps for everyone in the group. Mississippi State was a loss across the board for everyone. Gamebreaker_boz was the only one to pick Iowa State. You can’t accuse him of being a homer. Only three of us picked TCU, but none had more than two points riding on it.

On to week 3 of ESPN college pick em! It’s time to gain some ground!

These picks will be for the confidence version of the game, where you assign a point value from 1-10 based on how confident you are in each pick. I will publish mine here each week. If I make a change, I will just amend the original article or update on Twitter if I’m short on time. This will give you guys a bit of an advantage. What will you do with it?
