Boring week, almost everyone who voted assigned all 20 of their points to teams with victories. We had a few losses contribute to the overall standings. Particular congrats to new/returning voters: YNot, Poster, and Miami(OH)Yeah! who all went 20-for-20.

SouthEastAlaska and NoQuarterBrigade lead the overall standings with 60 points in Playoff Position, both employing a strategy of spreading most of their points among the 5 top teams.

A few other members are betting more heavily on the Top 3, while others are still socking away points for darkhorse candidates. It is anybody's game and anyone who wants to join the party late gets to start with the previous points of "Forgot to Vote" (below).


Restating of the rules: Each week you get 20 points to allocate to any teams, max of 5 per team. At the end of the year, the person with the most cumulative points assigned to the 4 actual playoff teams is deemed the OVERALL WINNER. You can assign points to a team up until their kickoff time. If you forget to vote, I will automatically give you will be given 15 points based off of the competition average.

Small note. My routine for filling in missing ballots involves taking a user's previous ballot and subtracting 1 from all teams and adding back up to 15 based on the dummy ballot. I also intended to remove all votes from teams that lose (unless the dummy still votes for them). I forgot to do that this week. The following are changes I will make to the overall standings:

Wahoowa84's vote for Texas last week will be removed (they lost to Alabama) and assigned to Oklahoma. ArmoredKnight's vote for Florida (they lost to Kentucky) will be reassigned to Clemson.

Alabama -5
Georgia -5
Ohio State-5
Michigan-5
