Week 10 Recap
There was another big week for us in the pick em, as we picked 35 games, involving all the ranked plus non-ranked power 5 teams. More points are available with the more games, so you can see a larger difference in how the results turn out. However, the 4 of us that picked last week stayed relatively close in games picked correctly and points awarded. First, a look at how the past 2 weeks have gone and a look at the overall standings.

There was only a 4-game difference between the top and the bottom, as we continue to pick around .500 overall, no matter how many games are picked. The top 2 have picked only one game different, and Ryan's once insurmountable lead has dwindled down to just over 100 points. As for the Big 12, all 5 teams finally played on the same weekend.

Baylor's shenanigans in Manhattan, KS cost us all, and it cost me the chance at going 5 for 5 in the conference games. Also picking last week were the readers in the contest for Big 12 and ranked team games. The results for the top 5 are as follows....

Congratulations to Andrew for winning the VTM contest and we will be contacting you soon for your prize. As for this week's games, things are starting to heat up across the nation, as some of the fringe teams are looking to become bowl eligible, plus the more important conference games taking place, including a big showdown between Oklahoma and Baylor in Waco, a top-25 matchup in Houston, and Alabama travelling to face the Bulldogs.
