Way to go UCF. Nothing like throwing away the game at the end to a 0-6 team.

Only Red Dawg, Miss Kitty, and SJ (by default due to his home team rule) picked UAB. I thought all UAB does is heart surgery and kidney transplants, not football? 87.5% of us picked UCF.

EDIT: cnestg8r pointed out that DD also picked UAB. So that's 83% of us who lost.

Red Dawg, DD, and Smiling JOe are undefeated going into tonight. I, for one, have ZERO wins. That's why my siggy is an "F" for failboat and "F" for UF and "F" for my name.

 

[Lady D]

Most people's choice of picks sucked in these first 4 games except for SJ's and Scooterbug's. Everyone else was pathetic. Hoping to make up some ground tomorrow. This might be my first negative week.

 

[cnestg8r]

For the total group, we average 41% correct with a average 9 pt spread. Maybe we should just flip coins.

 

[Lady D]

The point spreads meant absolutely nothing in the UCF game, they had a 15 pt. spread, and West Va. had a 13 1/2 pt spread and got totally destroyed by Syracuse. I'm banking on several games to turn things around for me tomorrow.

 

[Beach Runner]

Lady D, you are right about the point spreads.

Smiling JOe is 4 for 4. I am 0 for 4, as are familyof3, Buz, Shallowsnole, and 1ToshFan.

EDIT: As of 1:55 CDT, the following are winning 7 out of 11 games finished or in progress:
Red Dawg, FL Dawg, DD, Skunky, Pearls, STL Don, BeachSiO2, kurt, Everytime, and Smiling JOe.

EDIT: As of 2:35 CDT the following have 9 wins: Pearls, STL Don, Everytime (based on unfinished game scores).

EDIT: Leading for this week with 11 games completed as of 3:30 CDT is Lady D with 8 wins.
