I had a horrible final week (and finished the year down in the 30s), that Bowling Green pick may be the worst decision I've ever made in this game. Wisconsin's utter destruction was the bad bet of the weekend.

And what of the final standings in our season long game for the awful LSU sweater? It was a hard fought battle and while it looked early on like BBig24 might hold on, LSUTigers327 pulled away with a 101-81 picking record. He will soon be receiving the glorious sweater of victory. It's interesting to note that only 18 players out of 148 finished the year above .500. If you did, pat yourself on the back. Your fearless leader finished 85-97 in a big tie for 35th place.
