Well, while the 6 was looking nice, I picked GT over Louisville...

Turns out that most of my "underdog" picks seem to have, well, "under"-performed...

Gamenole: 1 (Florida State) - 1's better than 0! Still counts towards the season contest!

Congratulations to this week's winners, Buckminster Fuller, andybible1995, and ENCterrapin! I believe andybible1995 and ENCterrapin are first time players. 2 rec points to each player. Due to the 1st place tie, no second place prizes.

Stay tuned for next week's contest!
