Clemson at Home? :dubious:

Yahoo may think the game is at Clemson, but I can assure you that Clemson does not play their home games at Charlotte.

Yahoo thinks the Georgia dome is a home game for LSU too!

only ten games this week, 55 points.

I will take my bows now, and continue to take my bows for the immediate future. I have clinched the points and winning percentage.

**PurplePassion** and I have each have three weekly wins, **USCDiver** and **SaltySalute** have two wins but **Salty** has not picked lately.

Resident SEC hater **JSC1953** has not won a week all year. It is about time he drank some the good SEC Kool-aid (it is spiked with fine moonshine).

I guess **Oak** will be doing a Bowl Pool as well? Pretty please?

The league is set up. I started a [new thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=14528549#post14528549) for it.

Congratulations on winning the regular season league. Well done.  
I did not do so well this year, think I finished a dismal 5th or so. Oh well. There’s always next year. At least I hit on both my upset specials for the final week 😃
