Here are the week 3 picks from the newly revamped College Gameday podcast with Rece Davis, Pete Thamel and Bill Connelly. There’s a few notes you should be aware of. As always, for some of these games Bill Connelly says he does NOT show any edge on but they are picking them for fun and he has to make a pick. Also, the producer said BYU was a 3.5 point favorite before they picked the games. The guys must not have been looking at the lines because they proceeded with the discussion as if BYU was a 3.5 point favorite. I am moving forward with the assumption that if they picked Oregon then they meant Oregon-3.5 and if they picked BYU then they meant BYU+3.5. If you’re betting on this or keeping track at home then you’ll need to decide for yourself.
