After all Games - but one

For some inexplicable reason Arizona State couldn't stop West Virginia on a running play on 3rd and 22, and then proceeded to keep throwing deep and dropping balls when all they needed was first downs in the Cactus Bowl.  The Sun Devils are dead to me.  Boooo......

What that means is that I couldn't clinch 1st place in the pool today, so it all comes down to the Championship game, which is 9 days from now.  One thing is for certain, Michelle L. is going to win something.  Here's how it all breaks down:

If Clemson wins:

Klei R. wins first place.

Michelle L. #1 wins 2nd place.

If Alabama wins:

The winner of the tiebreaker between Michelle L. #2 and Brent E. #1 wins first place.

The loser of the tiebreaker between Michelle L. #2 and Brent E. #1 wins second place.

Obviously, I want Clemson to win, but I wanted Arizona State to win tonight and that got me nowhere.

Here are the points standings so far:

1. Klei R.: 691 (-170)

2. Michelle L. #2: 662 (-199)

38. Nichole W.: 469 (-392)

38. Jay H. #2: 469 (-392)

40. Ashley D.: 444 (-417)

41. Mindi W.: 437 (-424)

42. James R.: 421 (-440)

43. Ally H.: 364 (-497)

44. Tim N.: 343 (-518)

Fun fact: Michelle L. #2 started out with 0.0854% chance of winning, but has hit the last 12 games in a row correctly, so it just proves that as long as you aren't eliminated, you still have a chance to win.

I'll be taking a break until the Championship game.  Good luck to Brent and Michelle, who are both very nice people.  Even if I manage to lose this thing (which I kinda think I will), Brent and Michelle are both very deserving.
