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.

  • Alabama received 222 picks this week, making them the most popular selection of the year. They won and covered against Tennessee.

  • 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.

  • 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 RESULTS

  • 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.

  • Noble Smith is now 5-0 on his locks.

WEEK FOUR RESULTS

  • 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.

  • The gap between 1st and 10th is the same as the gap between 10th and 92nd.

WEEK THREE RESULTS

  • 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.
