    Tom,

    I have found it advantageous to always favour the ladies! It all begins at home. :D

    Tenessee Tom wins week # 10 with 269 points. Congratulations Tom! Cindy McCord still leads the contest after 10 weeks, but not by much. Too many couples are in the top five. We will need to do something about that next year? :lol:

    The key to my win was not betting more than 1 point on any game involving Duke! I was 100% sure that Miami would win but because they were playin Duke, I only gave them 1 point. Does not matter if I bet for or against Duke, I usually lose that game.

    By my usual formula, I would have bet 15 points on that game and would have put Diane in 1st place for the week.

    Congrats to Diane, not only picks the games but looking at her Facebook feed puts on a great pre-game meal for watching the Irish! :)

    Everyone... The Stanford / Cal game has been postponed until 1-December. I would advise putting minimum points on it in case it does not count at all in this weeks contest.

    Just checked and Don's right. But every group has a different pick set. My Inside Texas pick group always has all the B12 games plus the top 25. Could be Tom is in another pick group that does include all the Pac12 games.

    It was in this weeks contest. It appears that Yahoo pulled it and automatically adjusted your picks. Now 1 thru 24 confidence points are available instead of 1 thru 25.

    I don't know kp, your competitors really don't have much game in terms of picking teams so we really don't know how good you are. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    Congrats!
