Week #6 - Results

Overview

Overall it was a good weekend for the pool, with 15 players posting double digit weeks. Some were aided by Ohio State's cheap cover (myself included.) If you happened to be watching at 11 last night, you'll know that the Buckeyes scored the last 6 of their 40 points in a 40 to 30 win over Northwestern by pouncing on a fumbled ball in the endzone after the final seconds ticked off the game clock. Brent Musberger even commented that the touchdown was going to make a lot of people unhappy.

Movers and Shakers

Poor SUCFP - she's in the midst of the Fall Festival in Newport News. This means that she is at the tail end of a week of sleepless nights, cranky craft people, and general chaos. In the whirl and wild of the week, she forgot to make her picks, at least until the afternoon. She spotted the rest of us about 10 games and they made a valiant attempt, getting five points out of the twilight games. For her troubles though, she dropped 10 spots in the standings from 2nd to 10th. No good deed goes unpunished I supposed. I hope the fans of crafts and elephant ears that have enjoyed a fruitful weekend in Newport News City Park are thankful for SUCFP's sacrifice. As for the rest of us, Go Terps recovered from his abysmal week 5 performance with a week's best 14 points. This was not only a vast improvement over his prior week but hopefully offered some solace in the wake of his team's 63 to 0 dismantling in Tallahassee. The big week also propelled him from 12th to 5th, making him the week's biggest mover. BK All Day has made a habit of living in our top spot but he had to make room this week for Holy Mackerel V who's 13 point week put her into a tie for 1st from 4th place. Other big movers: Ultimate Bill jumped to 7th from 12th. Go Blue and RastaZombies- Walking Dread jumped 3 from their 10th place tie to a 7th place tie. On the downside, Whoshuregirl plummeted from 7th to 14th with a 9 point week.
