I recovered well from a few bad weeks with a 10-3 mark that put me up in the Top 10. However, there was also an impressive performance from Kickit2Peterson, who's been fighting with me for the overall lead for a few weeks. Would it be enough to gain control of the contest?

Just barely, but after leading for nearly the entire contest my reign as king of the pick'em as been finally been taken by someone who could actually win the contest. More than that, the top of the pack continues to pull away from the rest. With only 2 weeks left, time is running out for any late chargers.

As I said, a pretty good week for me. My best pick was Mizzou pulling out the victory in OT at Tennessee. The Ragin Cajuns near-upset at Florida hit a bunch of us, but it appears there are more than a few Coach Hud supporters in our midst.

Last normal week before we hit the rivalries. Penn St ends Indiana's Rose Bowl hopes (No really), Rugters becomes the quietest 9-1 in the country, and State gets another cheap SEC-W win from a major player in a down year. UCLA forces Lane to fire Monty (if only to save his own job), Wisconsin completes the B1G's lost season, THE CUSE possibly put Pinkel on the hot seat, Vandy shoots Dooley into the sun, and Stanford covers, but only scares Oregon.
