After a week off (almost literally) to Skype with my new nephew in Alaska :), here's the updated standings, but first, to the honor roll ...
WEEK 8 had two upset specials that hit ...
* WISCONSIN over Iowa: Peg Wolfe, Jim Bendat, Carl Rossi, Sam Wolfson, Bruce Taylor
* MIZZOU over Oklahoma: Peg Wolfe, Jim Bendat, Thomas Kettler, Phredd Groves, Kelly Sevilla and Ray Stahl
WEEK 9 had no upsets, but one unanimous choice ...
* AUBURN over Mississippi - No one took the #1 curse bait, eh? :)
Now to the big board ...

06 ALABAMA – Looking more and more like they can defend title
07 WISCONSIN – Inside track to Rose Bowl, but they could …
08 OHIO STATE – … get passed by Buckeyes’ strength of schedule
