- For the first time this year, the 6-0’s outnumbered the 0-6s. The totals were 7 and 2, respectively.
- Last week I mentioned that we should be seeing 40 to 50 people reach 100+ points every week. This week, we had 42.

- Mark H is the highest ranking player with an 0-3 lock record. He is currently in 17th place.
- A non-power 5 school got some love this week. Future Big 12 member, Cincinnati, was the most popular overall pick and most popular lock. They went from being fortunate to even being in the game, to covering the spread going away.
- The next three most popular locks (Alabama, Boise State and Oklahoma) all failed to cover the spread.
- The most popular underdog, BYU, won outright against Arizona State.
- Georgia was the least popular pick on the board. Only 19 people picked them. All 19 people lost that pick.
