After Armed Forces Bowl - 12/30

We are one game in to our 4-game bonanza of football for today.  The favored Navy Midshipmen prevailed, and it shook up the standings quite a bit.  Some of the biggest winners of this game were:

1. Brad R. (35 points - 42nd to 21st)

2. Tim N. (33 points - 69th to 51st)

3. Sammie B. (30 points - 65th to 53rd)

4. BAD (29 points - 13th to 4th)

5. Dre (28 points - 57th to 41st)

5. Damien R. #1 (28 points - 60th to 44th)

Judging by the rankings, most of the people that won big on this one really needed it.

We also have a change at the top of the standings as Adam E. lost 5 points with Middle Tennessee.  Brent S. #1 rode 26 points to the top of the standings.   For those that prefer to focus on the net points, we also have a tie there at the top between Roth W. #1 and Carl B.

But that's just the first game of the day.  We have 3 more to go.  The next game up, the Music City Bowl, promises to be another separation game, as not many points were wagered on it, but the picks are spread more widely.   Here are the stats:

Vegas Line: Ole Miss -3.5 over Georgia Tech

Median pick: Ole Miss for 8 points.

Mean pick: Ole Miss for 4.76 points

Picks for Ole Miss: 59

Picks in Top 10 for Ole Miss: 3 (Abel R., Marc R. #2, Tim N.)

Picks for Georgia Tech: 30

Picks in Top 10 for Georgia Tech: 0 (Max = Scott Has. for 24)

Picks <=10 points: 31

This is the lowest point total wagered on any remaining game in the pool, so it may not be that interesting to watch, but it will certainly affect the standings.

Good Luck!!!!!!!
