Sorry these are a week late - it was a pretty wild final week. Three upset specials hit (Washington over Cal, ECU over a STILL overrated Houston and Alabama over Florida) and we had a finish every bit as close as the Heisman. In the end, Bruce held off Alan (who needed to have picked Bama or UDub) and a hard-charging Mark (who only missed Houston) to survive. Congratulations, Bruce - the updated hall of fame records are below the final standings. Congrats to Bruce on his first overall title and though she wasn't able to quad-pete, congrats to Marilyn as her three-year reign comes to an end.

Remember that EVERYONE now starts over at 0-0 for our annual bowl pool, which will be coming out shortly.

Thank you all for a great season and let's go to the big board one last time ...
