No Alabama. No problem. Snuffy’s Tide enjoyed a week off prior to the stretch run. He weathered that with the only 6-0 week in the pool in Week 9. He goes 4-1 vs. the spread, doubling UCF over FCS weakling Austin Peay. He’s afraid of his own shadow but headed for his first pool championship in the modern era.
Penn State chokes away a win in Columbus for Knut, but he still wins the week with 55 points and jumps into 2nd place. After week 7’s debacle with 6 points, Knut’s rallied led by an unlikely crew, Arkansas St, UTSA, Akron, Wyoming. The beauty of the pool.
Ringo falls to 3rd with a 3-3 week, including a double loss by TCU to the dragon-slaying Cyclones. Marshall and Fresno State both take home losses.
The road was kind to Stumpy Pete with 5 wins including his beloved Hooskies besting the perennial powerhouse Purdue. Okie State tunes up for Bedlam and the Dawgs put the Gators out of their misery in his double game. He sits in 4th, the worst of the best.
Negatron and PJ are tied for 5th place. scoring 33 and 34 points this week. 10.5 point favorites USF and Colorado St. both lose at home for Negatron. So. Miss (13.5 pt fave) was PJ’s loss, along with 4 non-covers.
Gundy posts a new season-low with 5 points for the week. Florida State (#3 pick overall) lost it’s 5th game, making it the worst first round pick in the history of the pool. Add 0-6 vs. the spread and losses by Wash. App. and NC States. A nickname change is in order, but any change would be an upgrade from Gundy. Which is not deserved.
Daggett retains the number one pick in the 2018 draft but his lead is tenuous. He goes 5-1 with another loss by the confusing continued Coastal Carolina in his starting 6.
Heading to week 10 and Snuffy has the all-time record of 596 points in sight.
