Michigan, on the road against a ranked in-state rival looks vulnerable.
Oklahoma St, is in a very similar situation.
And I don’t think Kansas St. is as good as their record.
Those are my choices for who gets knocked off this week. I really don’t expect any of the rest to falter.

K-State loses.
Michigan/St is going to be close. I call it a toss up loss.
And OSU is going to run UT off the field. No doubt in my mind.

Is anyone interested in doing a SDMB top ten poll again this year? I’ll create a thread after this week’s games.

I’ve just now spotted that I confused **Bartman** for **Barkis is Willin’** in the case of Illinois votes you folks did. I do those summaries manually so the similarity of names is my only excuse. Sorry for that, and any others I have yet to spot!
In the Final Summary later today, I’ll triple-check things.

Does anybody have an idea of how to score this? Is there a standard method for awarding composite scores?
I had a brainstorm that may work, may not, but I thought I’d try for some input on it.
Please refer to the Final Summary in Post #13 for the starting point.
First step would be to remove the teams that lose from the crosstable.
Second step would be to replace the team name with the total number of votes it received. For example, if Illinois wins, everybody with Illinois in their row would get 9 points for that cell. Do that exercise for all winning teams.
Third step would be to total for each voter the points in their row.
Fourth step would be to sort by total points.
How could that method be improved? Is there a better way?
