Updated Standings - thru December 31st

Happy New Year, everybody. Sorry for the gap in coverage. Here's what happened. After the "Debacle in the Desert" known as the Fiesta Bowl, I actually forgot that college football existed. My brain repressed all memory of college football whatsoever. Then I walked into a Rooster's yesterday at about 2:00 PM and saw Kentucky playing Virginia Tech. If that had not happened, I'm not sure I would have ever remembered to carry out the rest of this pool. True story.

Owen MacKim is running away with this thing. Seriously, if not for Texas throttling the Utes last night, this would be over. As such, he holds a commanding lead but there are a couple folks lurking -- like Eli MacKim (presumably that's Owen's brother; I don't know most of you people); also Matt Neugebauer (I do know him actually); Max P. Hofmeyer (one of many Hofmeyers in this pool who showed up one year via referral from someone and keeps coming back); and Andy Scism (friend of a friend who rattled off 13 correct picks in a row for 286 points).

The battle for the Angie Guidi Lack of Achievement Award is heating up also. Cam Hannigan sits in last place now; but Rick James Williams, Chad Shinabargar, & Kevin Dietz are all in serious contention, with their sub-500 Points Possible at the moment.

Enjoy the games today, folks.
