Updated Standings - thru December 26th

Okay, folks, time to get serious. Time for the big boys to start playing. And by "big boys", I mean teams with 6-6 records like Michigan State. A full day of football awaits us today, kicking off at noon with Mack Brown's North Carolina Tarheels taking on Temple in the Military Bowl. The night is capped off with a really interesting Cheez-It Bowl match-up between Mike Leach's Wazzu Cougars and the Air Force Falcons. In between those two games, Jimbo Fisher takes on THE MULLET, Dantonio tries to save his job against Wake Forest, and Kirk Ferentz will once again have us questioning why Iowa continues to renew his contract.

The standings begin to take shape this weekend. Owen MacKim looks poised to go wire-to-wire, a feat that's never been accomplished. Plenty of contenders are knocking on his door, however. Long-time Bowl Pick 'Em legend Dan Bailey, with his 657 points possible, is not one of them.
