Updated Standings - thru January 6th

At some point in the past several days, there was a football game between Louisiana and Miami (OH) in which the team from Louisiana triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory.

Entering Monday's CFP National Championship game between Clemson and LSU (insert pause for gagging, self-mutilation, and punching the dog) an interesting scenario has materialized at the top of the standings. With a Clemson win, Rob Taylor takes home the $700 top prize and Andy Scism is left with a net $10 loss on this delightful activity. However, if Joseph Lee Burrow hoists the crystal trophy, Scism leapfrogs the field and wins the scratch. Here are the scenarios:

If LSU wins:
1st place - Andy Scism $700
2nd place - Rob Taylor $350
3rd place - Eli MacKim $200
4th place - Brian Reedy $125
5th place - Bryan Hoenig $75
AGLOA - Mia LaCommare

If Clemson wins:
1st place - Rob Taylor $700
2nd place - Eli MacKim $350
3rd place - Brian Reedy $200
4th place - Curt Wininger $125
5th place - Randy Jacobs $75
AGLOA - Mia LaCommare
