Week 9 lineup on the way, but first to the standings ...
No upset specials came through in week 9, though some of you were this/close on Bama or MSU! There was one unanimous pick -- USC over Oregon State -- and even that wasn't safe most of the night.
No upsets meant a good week for most people -- especially our top five, who continued to distance themselves from the pack with 9-1 or 10-0 marks.
We also have some new entrants into the standings as they reached the required 3/4 participation level - let's hope they stay in for the long haul, as we're nearing the 2/3 mark on the season.
To the big board ...
