Updated Standings - thru December 27th

Okay, folks, we officially have a new leader!  Mike Melink bagged 76 points yesterday on a 3 for 4 effort to overtake Andy Barrell as our frontrunner.  In bowl action, Kirk Ferentz showed just why he is one of the highest paid coaches in the land, by winning another second tier bowl game against a marginal opponent.

Today finally brings us some ranked/ranked matchups, with an intriguing and very hard-to-handicap tilt between Virginia and Navy kicking us off at 1:30 Eastern.  VaTech getting no respect in this pool, with just 14.7% of participants thinking they have the capacity to upend Gundy's mullet.  Dantonio and Leach will be sure to have a few tricks up their sleeves in tonight's Holiday Bowl, which will be running in parallel with the Bryce Love Show in San Antonio.  Things are heating up!
