Week 10 was another rough one for the group. Puzzleman81 dominated with 45 out of 55 total points. Second place last week was ertlt with 30 points. That's a massive win! jphowell09 is still leading the way with 385 points, but ryan_peoples2 is only six points back. The Syndicate sits in third place with 375 points.

College Football Pick Em Overview

This article will be for the confidence game mode. You can also read my against-the-spread picks here every week for every game so you know how I'm leaning toward that version of the game. Each week, I will recap who's dominating the group before I get into the picks. If you're going to beat everyone, all of the readers will know about it!

Let's get to the countdown! I will count them up from least confident (1) to most (10). You know, for dramatic effect. If I do change my pick or points sometime during the week, I will try to update the article or post it on Twitter. Otherwise, you know all of my picks each week. Good luck out there. This looks like a tough week. There are some close ones on there, but that's what makes this fun!

(1) North Carolina over Wake Forest

The Wake offense is finally going to get back on track here. North Carolina's defense has been better lately, but they were so bad that not many have noticed. They have the kind of defense to turn over the inefficient and undisciplined Wake offense enough to win this game.

(2) Oklahoma State over Iowa State

This all depends on the health of Spencer Sanders. If he plays, I'm moving this one up to the eighth spot. If Sanders is out again, I'm leaving it here and possibly flipping to the Cyclones.

(3) Kansas State over Baylor

If this game were in Manhattan, I would probably put more on it. I know that Baylor likely only looked good last week because they played Oklahoma. They only won by three despite outplaying the Sooners for most of the game. Kansas State isn't going to make the mistakes Oklahoma did. They are more than solid enough to win this on the road.

(4) Alabama over Mississippi

How mortal is Alabama? Are we talking Cotton Bowl or Gator Bowl? Neither is a place all that familiar to the Tide. This is a losable game for the Tide, but they never lose two in a row. That shouldn't happen here, either.

(5) Illinois over Purdue

I might move this down just because Purdue is likely better than the Michigan State team that just stunned the Illini. The Illinois offense is still prone to bouts of terrible football. If that happens at the wrong time, this is a losable game.

(6) San Diego State over San Jose State

This is me trying to steal points again. The Aztecs aren't as bad as the team that lost to Arizona or got throttled by Boise. Jalen Mayden has this offense looking respectable again and the defense is as good as usual.

(7) TCU over Texas

There is something about this TCU team that just feels different. Texas is going to be leading this game heading into the fourth. Then get ready for the real fun to start.

(8) Wisconsin over Iowa

You all still believe in Iowa, huh? Looking good against Northwestern and beating a depleted Purdue team doesn't make you good. We all know the Iowa defense is elite. The difference is that Wisconsin's will look like it too against that offense. The Badgers are not the same team they were a month ago.

(9) Tulane over Central Florida

UCF is the name. Tulane is not. The Wave have been building towards this for a while now. They are a veteran squad that just doesn't make the mistakes that UCF will need them to make.

(10) LSU over Arkansas

This has letdown written all over it, but Arkansas lost to Liberty and looked really bad doing so, at least in the first three quarters. I might chicken out and move this down, but right now, LSU looks like the far superior team.
