So far, we have not exactly covered ourselves in glory with our picks. Collectively we finished Black Friday with a record of 25-47 (35%). In all four games, more of us picked the loser than picked the winner.

Individually, Copycat shined with a perfect 4-0. Can he continue that into tonight?

If you were listening closely in Tallahassee, you could hear The Fat Lady sing. With the Gators' win over the Noles, Buckminster Fuller clinched the Pick'em Cup for the second year in a row - the only two time champion in Pick'em history. Congratulations Bucky!

And also to Wilkie01 who secured his win in the Rep points race. Both races went down to the wire. Thankfully, I no longer need to stay up late to see who wins the Boise-Utah State game, though that game could still affect the Week 13 results. I'll have a final recap tomorrow.

Congratulations to Week 13 winner, copycat, who picked 13 games correctly, edging out Wilkie01 and esayem with 12 apiece. The rep points this week weren't decided until the very last game of the season. Fittingly, that game - Boise St vs Utah St - was the only game on the card where both teams were picked by exactly half of the players.

The season races also went down to the wire, but in the end our frontrunner, Buckminster Fuller, eked out a one win margin, correctly picking 136 winners over the course of the 13 week season. Wilkie01 finished second, with 135 wins, followed by CollegeCard at 133, Statefan at 127 and orange in VA at 126.

Wilkie01 accumulated the most rep points (15) during the season, and his second place finish this week gave him a comfortable final margin over Bucky and esayem who won 10 points each. CollegeCard amassed 9 rep points, while Statefan and copycat earned 8 apiece.

A total of 33 different posters played at least one week over the course of the season. 17 of those played in at least 11 of the 13 weeks. They are listed alphabetically below, with the winning percentage for each (correct picks / total picks):

A big thank you to all who participated. It's been a fun year, but it's not quite over. I will set up a Bowl Pick'em as soon as all the pairings are set. Because that won't be specifically targeted to ACC fans and followers, that game will be run on the Conference Realignment board, so look for it there in about a week. See you there!

Wow my "Never mess with a streak" mentality won this week. :)

And if I hadn't missed that one week, the math shows me in fourth place or so. Oh well. Not quite up to my 2nd place standard.
