[NU Sports] PIGSKIN PICKS - Standings and polls

Wed Oct 18 17:52:51 CDT 2006

Just like last year, we had to wait for the BCS
Standings (and fall break) to get the standings out –
I apologize, and will try and do better the following
weeks. If you have any questions, please e-mail me
off-list.

First up, a list of the unanimous picks and upset
specials that cashed in for the first seven weeks (a
game where fewer than 1/3 of the participants picked
the winner).

UNANIMOUS PICKS
All of our unanimous picks (mostly the pre-conference
cupcake games – and since they were Big Ten games, we
HAD to pick ‘em!) hit, except in recent weeks. We all
missed 

Week 5

Week 7
* Indiana over Iowa

UPSET SPECIAL WINNERS
=====================
Week 1

And now to the big board
