Sorry they're late ... turkey takes priority. :)

Two weeks worth of honor roll ...

(WEEK 12)

UNANIMOUS PICKS
* MSU over Purdue ... whew!
* LSU over Mississippi

UPSET SPECIALS
* TEXAS A&M over Nebraska: K.Sevilla, B.Wilson

(WEEK 13)

UNANIMOUS PICKS
* IOWA over Minnesota ... doh!

UPSET SPECIALS
* INDIANA over Purdue: P.Groves, A.McInturff, J.Bendat, T.Kettler
* NEVADA over Boise State: C.Rossi
* OKLAHOMA over Okie State: J.Hodges, A.McInturff and yours truly (whew! finally got an upset special!)

And now to the big board, with only one week left, we have a tie at the top! Though from the records, week 13 seemed to be a wise one to sit out!:)
