    Lot of 10-7 records so far. Wondering how some are ranked higher than others.

    Xan, they likely use your weekly final tiebreaker pick as a means of sorting it all out

    ALSO,
    Just created a pro Yahoo picks game over on Anything Goes.

    Team ID# ----- 50673
    Password ------ tebow

    The game will use confidence points, but NOT spreads.

    NFL games are hard enough to pick consistently, so we'll see who can do it best straight up.

    Just curious how many people are still participating in this. I'm assuming the 0-77 team hasn't been filling out their picks. Same with the 8-114 team.

    The 2013 picks season for collegiate ranks is into its final weekend. In the unlikeliest of scenarios here at the 11th hour and following a unique no-confidence-points format, five teams are within five points or less of making their claim for first place.
    Make your picks folks and either try to avoid the basement or win it all.
    (Yes, it is crucial for you to decide if Florida State and Duke are truly separated in the power rankings strata by just 29 points)

    Ramblin and Wrecked was doing really well until regression to the mean hit fast and hard last weekend - 4/20 picks correct. Awful!

    Congratulations to Hokemania for holding off all the late chargers.
    Hand that trophy to the champion!
