I think they’re all resolved now, but if you have a correction or a VOTE to offer, please do so before 9:00 EDT tonight.

And thanks again for playing. It’s cheap anyway! 😃

‘0’ means did not play that week (counts as 0). Underlined name means played in the most recent week.

FYI, the annual pilgrimage to Talladega is this week, so I’ll be a day or two late posting the results next week…

That’s the spirit! Thank the Fates it’s not for money!

You reckon any of us are being scouted by the AP?

I have been burned twice for two weeks straight by betting against the teams from the Magnolia State. No more!

But shit, **Oak** , you and me may realize how exceptional this is more than anybody. You’re a 'Bama fan, I’m an Auburn fan, and the winner of the freaking _Egg Bowl_ may be the favorite to win the National Championship. It’s unreal to even type those words.

Indeed. Of course, I’m also a State fan, it’s just that most years there’s not a lot to cheer about. Kinda like being a Saints fan. One shining glorious season in 40+ years, but when it happens…how sweet it is.

So how many times does Auburn have to fucking LOSE A GODDAMN football game before Sagarin takes them off #1? Another one? Maybe 2? WTF? Hell, he’s got them ranked above the team that beat them! In what crazy statistical world does that even make fucking sense?
