Oklahoma goes down. A blow to me, but a boon to everyone who wants to beat ESPN this year.

Congratulations to schmolik, herdfan2013, bullet, and Skyhawk for wisely avoiding the Sooners and scoring 20-for-20 wins this week. A reminder that any ties in the final standings are broken by the pollster most recently to have won a week, ties continuing back in time until broken.

The U-Sma(ll) Award goes to Wahoowa84 and Crayton as the only active pollsters who get to watch their 7 or so points go get flushed down the drain by the Oregon Ducks.

The weekly Rambling Wreck Award goes to Schmolik for losing 5 points when the hot-and-cold team from Georgia Tech eliminated the UNC Tar Heels.

The Too Sooner Award goes to myself for draining the bank account (34 points) into expecting Oklahoma to lose a bigger game (like a semifinal) instead of a game to Kansas.

In the standings, I've added a value summing each person's Top Four teams. Hmm... maybe I spread myself too thin. Let me know if this is a better measure of standings before the 4 real teams are picked.


My poll this week:
5 Florida State
5 Ohio State
5 Michigan
2 Alabama
2 Washington
1 Ole Miss (first to bet on them!)

Allstate Playoff Predictor
5 Ohio State
4 Florida State
3 Michigan
2 Georgia
2 Alabama
1 Oklahoma
1 Texas
1 Washington
1 Oregon

Michigan: 5 (Purdue)
Oregon: 5 (Cal)
Florida State: 5 (at Pittsburgh)
Georgia: 5 (Missouri)

Not comfortable with Georgia this week but other alternatives IMO were worse.

I think your measure is fine. The top 4 could suddenly collapse.

I'm sticking with the same for now:
Georgia 5
Michigan 4
Ohio St. 3
Florida St. 3
Texas 2
Washington 2
Oregon 1
