Sorry these took awhile, but vacation has begun and I can now get 'em out. Not that there was much suspense ... the final week contained no upsets and really went according to form with the SEC title game the only real contested pick and the ACC crapshoot as the only near upset.
As a result, final standings are below and look pretty similar to the previous week.
An updated PIGSKIN PICKS HALL OF FAME is below ... and it's interesting that we have repeat winners in four of the five awards. Congrats to Marilyn on winning her THIRD consecutive overall championship (fourth in five years) - and doing it with the best percentage in Pigskin Picks history! We may have to start forcing Marilyn to give the rest of us odds next year.:) One other note - I'm not sure if it's because we're getting good or because the season wasn't as upsetting as usual, but the winner for the upset special award had the lowest amount ever.
One more name to be etched in with the bowl pool! To the big board ...
