My apologies for the unannounced death of Yaaarr, and the havoc that brings to our NCAA picks contest. Luckily, only David and I had submitted our picks, and I have email records of those two. I’ll update this post with last week’s results when I get the time to format them, but I wanted to go ahead and get the odds back up so people would have time to place bets.
UPDATE: I added last week’s full results in, added the usual instructions and deadline information, and uploaded the full spreadsheet.

Georgia ruins Auburn’s season; Miami beats Virginia; Boston College beats West Virginia; Iowa beats Minnesota; Texas Tech beats TAMU. Meanwhile Purdue has fallen completely into oblivion….
Awesome Chuck, I hadn’t even told anyone about the new blog yet. You find it through Technorati or something?
Odds except Georgia, Miami and my picks favorite this year, Iowa.
i care about politics… this election just didn’t do it for me though.
as for football, im gonna pick upset weekend - fsu, auburn, wisconsin, virginia, lsu, and iowa take losses.
y have a separate bowl games contest on my new site. I lied. The new thread for week 11 is here. I’ve got to move Reggie’s site somewhere else. [...]
I missed the Louisville pick- count that one against me- others-
I’ll take Georgia, Miami, Boston College, Iowa and Pittsburgh….
Yep, I found it through Technorati, I think.
For my own benefit, I’m importing the three sets of picks that were posted on my old blog.
David
Me
Scott
odds on everything, but GA will win and Iowa will win.
Damn it, I figured that I could once again take sole possession of last place by not picking but under the new format I could actually move up! Odds except Michigan St., Wyoming, Miami, Alabama, and Iowa. Those picks should put me where I belong.
