WEEK SEVEN RESULTS

WEEK SEVEN TOP SCORE: Another week where we have a top score belonging to one person. This time it is Jared Hunter. He had the only 6-0.
QUARTER 2 WINNER: Casey Hulme. He edged out Zac McCoy and Max Briese. They all had 14-4 records, but Casey scored the most points. Casey was in 201st place after Week 4. He is in 32nd place now.
The group and lock winning percentages were solid, 51.0% and 51.6% respectively.
The 0-6 records continue to outpace the 6-0 records by a wide margin. We saw 4 more 0-6 records this week, pushing the yearly total to 57. There have only been 19 people go 6-0.
The group majority was only 2-4 this week, despite an overall winning percentage of 51%.
The group majority was correct on 2 of 3 three most popular picks: OU and Alabama.
Cincinnati’s route of SMU resulted in the maximum bonus points, which is the first time since Week 3 and only the second time all year.
The most popular lock, Oklahoma State, left the back door open against Iowa State.
Alabama received 222 picks this week, making them the most popular selection of the year. They won and covered against Tennessee.
Zach McCoy still has the lead in the standings, but only 11 points separate 1st from 4th.
Noble Smith final lost a lock. He is now 6-1 for the year, along with Greg Delano.

WEEK SIX RESULTS

WEEK SIX TOP SCORE: The high score for the week belongs to ThePobanz. He was the only person to go 6-0, and he jumped from 154th place to 49th.
The group and lock winning percentages were identical: 45.0%. I don’t think that has ever happened.
We had 9 people go 0-6 this week, after only having one last week.
The group majority picked the favorite in every game. Unfortunately, favorites only went 2-4 ATS.
For the third week in a row, the bonus points were hard to come by. We haven’t had at least a “3-point bonus” game since Week 3.
North Carolina was the most popular pick of the week. They lost outright as a 13.5 point favorite against FSU.
Alabama was the most popular lock. They pulled away in the second half to cover the spread against Georgia.
The four least popular locks all covered the spread.
Zach McCoy has edged out Melissa Kucab for the top spot on the leaderboard. He is two points ahead of her.
Noble Smith has extended is lock streak to 6-0.
Despite not making picks in Week 4, Max Briese is ranked 18th.
Chad Capra has an incredible 5-24 record – the same Chad Capra that won it all last year.

WEEK FIVE TOP SCORE: Nine people went 6-0 this week, which is more than we had through the first four weeks combined.
FIRST QUARTER WINNER: I was supposed to post the winner last week, but I forgot. The winner of the first quarter (weeks 2 thru 4) was William Ryan. He had a 14-3 record and scored 295 points. Reid Ainsworth and David Hoggatt finished one game back.
The group and lock winning percentages in week five were very good: 57.1% and 59.4%, respectively.
Where there are good records, there are favorites winning. Favorites were 4-2 this week.
Only one person went 0-6 this week. I won’t mention him……ok, fine I will: Brian Patton.
The group had a great week despite the most popular pick (Florida with 206 picks) failing to cover and losing outright.
All the teams that covered the spread scored at least 40 points, except Kansas State.
We have a new leader: Melissa Kucab. She has scored 102 points in consecutive weeks.
99 people have a winning record. After week two, we only had 44 people.
Noble Smith is now 5-0 on his locks.

WEEK FOUR TOP SCORE: Three people went 6-0 this week, tying for the high score: Jay W, Dan Bright and Scott Makintubee. Jay W jumped into the Top 10 with that performance.
The group and lock winning percentages weren’t great: 49.2% and 35.7%, respectively.
Six people went 0-6. For the year, we’ve seen 43 people go 0-6, and only 8 people go 6-0.
The group majority picked the favorite in every game. Favorites covered the spread in 3 of the 6 games.
TCU was the only road team to cover the spread.
OU was the most popular pick, and by far the most popular lock. 39% of the participants locked the Sooners! They lost the game outright.
Noble Smith is the only person with a 4-0 lock record.
Reid Ainsworth is still holding onto the lead.
The gap between 1st and 10th is the same as the gap between 10th and 92nd.

WEEK THREE TOP SCORE: Five people tied for the top score with 128 points: Bweav123, Champ, Chris Kinard, William Ryan and Nick Washburn.
The group and lock winning percentages were much, much better: 57.4% and 66.2%, respectively. As is supposed to happen, the lock winning percentage was actually higher than the overall winning percentage.
Nobody went 0-6. Well done.
57 people score 100 points or more! We only saw a total of 10 in the first two weeks of the season.
When favorites do well, the group does well. Favorites went 4-2 ATS.
We had the exact same number of picks for Texas as Texas Tech – a very rare occurrence. Texas Tech covered the spread but somehow lost the game, despite being up 15 with 3 minutes to play.
Miami was the most popular pick of the week and the most popular pick of the year to cover the spread.
25% of the participants currently have a winning record.
Only seven people have a 3-0 lock record! There are a handful of people that have a 2-0 lock record (they didn’t record one lock because of the cancelled game).
Reid Ainsworth still occupies the top spot.
Brandon Harris has the worst record: 2-15….and he is actually on a bit of a winning streak. He began the year 0-11. Don’t try that at home.
