This is through 23 games and 23 possible points. 14 points are available today in the 6 games that are on tap. Another 13 points will be available for the next week. Only 2 guys under .500 right now, and that's only by 1 game...so pretty strong showing so far, but can we do it for the big games that start today?

STAN-OKST (-3.5) 3 point game
4 on STAN and 12 on OKST, including me. SS is on STAN, he's one of the co-leaders. I haven't been on the STAN bandwagon all year, and I love OKST this year...so I didn't see any reason to change now. STAN backers include JG, SS, GT, JH.

WIS-ORE (-6.5) 3 point game
7 on Becky, 9 on DUCKS. 2 of the leaders on DUCKS and 1 on Vadgers. I have DUCKS, but the more I think about it the more I think 6.5 is too high. Oh well, at least I can to cheer for the right side! QUACK!! Becky lovers are MR, AW, RO, TN, LW, JH, MO.

OHIOST-FLA (-2) 2 point game
10 on Buckeyes, 6 on Gators. I'm on OHIOST, FLA is just too much of a wreck on offense for me to think they have a prayer of scoring against the Bucks. I'm sure Urban's provided as many helpful hints as he could about his old club going into this one as well. I think Buckeyes start the momentum train rolling into next year with an easy win today. FLA supporters include AW, MC, RO, MT, GT, LW.

NEB-SC (-1.5) 2 point game
Even split of 8 and 8 on this one. Honestly, this looks like the easiest pick on the board for me. I have not been impressed with team Corn all year, and that SC defense might not allow any points today. Not that SC has a great offense, but I don't think they'll struggle at all today in a low scoring easy win.

MSU-GEO (-4) 2 point game
12 on Sparty and only 4 on GEO. GEO supporters include MR, GR, MC, LW. I really like Sparty here too. I think they've made the jump from annually being a talented disappointment to becoming a team that can win big games and will get another one today.

PSU-HOU (-5) 2 point game
No clue what will happen on this one. We have 6 on PSU and 10 on HOU. I'm on PSU with JG, MC, SS, JH, MO. I guess it comes down to defense for me, like it usually does. However, I'm not sure if PSU will come out inspired or just bored and ready to move from this year into 2012. HOU lost their coach as well, so I feel like this could be a lop-sided one either way.


After today, we have 1 game a day (except THUR) for the next week, so it will be an interesting finish. It's seaparation Monday, so good luck to everyone.
