Sat Nov 11 15:21:27 CST 2006

Oops - had this ready to go but forgot to get it out
(as you can see by my rankings below, giving Auburn
and Louisville way too much credit :) ). So anyway, to
the honor roll ...

UNANIMOUS PICKS

Both survived scares, but they won

Barnard, Brad Wilson, Alan Wolfson, Marilyn Zilka,
Chuck Herron and yours truly.
