Yeah, it was initially an alternate game, but I used it to replace another one, since no one had posted their Picks yet.

I just forgot to take it out of the alternates list.

For Pete's sake, the Houston/SMU game was postponed while I was selecting my teams.

However, I saw that BYU @ Coastal Carolina was added to Saturday's slate, so I included it
as the alternate for:

(18.) Houston @ SMU

-------------------------------------------------------------

Since I don't believe that Spence saw the change in Alternate Games, by the inclusion of BYU/Coastal Carolina
I went to the next game down, Washington State/USC for the (18.) pick.
