    I changed my points on the WSU game to "1" when there was a question about whether the game would be played due to air quality. I changed it back to 20 10 minutes before the game when it was announced that it would be played.

    The good news for me is that Cindy lost one more point than I did yesterday!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: 8) 8) 8)

    I know it. These are not the upsets that I thought were possible. Of course, did anyone pick Troy to beat LSU?

    I did a quick and dirty analysis of the point totals, all negative, of course. Six people did not make their picks. Of the rest, 12 had points in the -40 range with the highest being -49. The average for those 12 is -44. Five players were in the -30 range with 2 at -39 and 2 at -31. The average for those 5 is -35. That's not much of a spread going into Saturday's 23 games. It should be a real shootout today. :wink:

    Stu wins week#7 with a score of 208. Congratulations Stu! Apparently the Western Michigan game with Akron at 1:00 this afternoon has been dropped from consideration in the contest. (weather problems)

    The last time that games were postponed after the start of games in the contest (happened in my pay contest that has up to 35 games per week) Yahoo adjusted the points before the next week's games. If your scores change, it is likely for that reason.

    If Akron holds on, it would matter not. Everyone picked Western Michigan.

    WMU was threatening at the end but ran out of time. Akron won 14 to 13

    Was on a Myrtle Beach golf trip and had little time to do the picks...

    Obviously spending a lot of time thinking about them doesn't help me. :?

    I have a new fool proof system for Friday night games. I am not going to be way behind again like I was in last week's Friday night games! 8)
