X-Mas Time Report

We aren't exactly half way of course, but X-Mas marks the time that teams begin transitioning into conference play, it is a good opportunity to evaluate things so far, and maybe next week make predictions about the future.

First, the Week Six Rundown:

It was another thin week, but Babblemur used it well taking 20 points, winning 4 of 5 p.v.p. matchups including Michigan St. over Top 10 Texas and Syracuse over Memphis. Babs won 10 of 11 total, the only loss to Cleveland St. by Syracuse. Babblemur is in a virtual tie for first place now.

Musashisan took 19 points off 4 of 6 p.v.p. matchups, 11-3 for the week.

HippieD took 19 points off 11-2 play, including 3 p.v.p. wins of 4, with the big UCONN over Top Ten Gonzaga.

Akaoni took 18 points, 3 for 3 in p.v.p., and 12-1 overall for the week. Akaoni is now solidly in third place.

The rest: Boaris & Gunz, 15 a piece; 14 for NotaTurtle, 11 for Progress Media, and 10 for the CEO. 9 a piece for Jutdog and Jaybird, and 8 for Phunmunki, who got killed in week 6.

Team of the Week: St. Mary's (Progress Media) beating both Oregon (Musashisan) and Southern Illinois (Gunz).

And now, the Squigly Rainbow Chart:

Biggest Surprise:

Oklahoma (Boaris) and Syracuse (Babblemur). These two teams have put Boaris and Babs in a tie at the Top.

Best 8 Pick So Far:

Illinois State (Progress Media) - 14 points, 10-0. Look out Creighton and Southern Illinois! We got game in the MVC!

Worst 1 Pick So Far:

Memphis (Gunz, #12 overall) - 7 points. Admittedly he could have picked Notre Dame (#13, 14 points) over Memphis since he had the "flip turn" but nonetheless Memphis wins as lowest performing First Round Pick.

That's all for now - Merry X-Mas you pagans!
