Wishing the Buckeyes - Wisconsin game was on the slate, eh?

@Spurge @Edm

You'ns gonna be regretting picking UK over Tenny. I'm an avid UK homer, but they have no shot at a dubya in my opinion. I'm looking at the remaining portion of their schedule, and after that 5-0 start, I can see them ending up 5-7.

A very strange week - Memphis pulled one out right at the end after building a huge lead over UNT, and then seemingly forgetting how to play the game, ceding 33 second half points to the Mean Green. A touchdown with 10 seconds left saved the Tigers the embarrassment of losing after being up 31-7 with 2 minutes to play in the first half. 8th ranked Oregon crushed #13 Utah, 35-6, 18th ranked Louisville likewise handed #20 Duke a blowout loss, 23-0.

The week began with a clear set of leaders, but as the day progressed, the race tightened up and with 3 games to go, almost all of us had a shot at making the tiebreaker round... ultimately three tied - Dan, Edward, and Ben. The wild flurry of scoring in the second half of what was originally a sleepy affair at half time sent Ben's hopes packing as he predicted a 21-17 win. Here's a graph of the final score predictions that gives Edward the win over Dan:



So, another new winner today - we were wondering when you'd show up to nab a , Edward, and here we are! Congratulations!

This week's tally:

Edward - 9
DanSSwing - 9
Sola Scriptura - 9
greenbaggins - 8
Sovereign Grace - 8
toddpedlar - 8
Edm - 5
Spurge - 3

and the Weekly Winners through Week 9:

Congratulations, Edward!

If only closest to margin of victory were the tiebreaker.

Don't worry... you're consistently near or at the top... your win is coming!

 

[Edm]

Congratulations. You chose wisely..

I had resigned myself to not winning this season. Way too busy at work to put more than a surface effort into it this season, and really happy I'm not having to come up with the games. I've seen only limited parts of a few games. Ducked in here on another computer while waiting for a search to run.

Still, without you being a dominant force each week it hasn't felt normal.
