Week 14 Recap: Gunz & Phun

Week Fourteen was brutal and we saw some shake ups in conference standings.

Recap

Gunz and Phunmunki scored the most points, 29 for Gunz and 30 for Phunmunki. Phunmunki did it thanks to Wisconsin starting to beat teams again (Iowa and Ohio State), combined with some important wins (Gonzaga over St. Mary's, Vermont over Boston, Maryland over Virginia Tech and Belmont over E. Tenn St.). Phunmunki is now a mere 4 points behind Progress Media, but still in 9th place.

Gunz was the only player who changed the standings, his 29 points boosted him past The CEO and Jaybird and back into 5th place, while The CEO passed Jaybird to stay in 6th, leaving Jaybird in 7th. Gunz did this with two Top 10 Knockoffs: Notre Dame finally pulling their heads out of their asses and beating Louisville, and Boston College knocking down Duke. Other important wins helped Gunz as well, including Missouri beating both Kansas and Nebraska, Old Dominion taking down VCU, and Miami (OH) over Western Michigan.

The rest of the scoreboard remained the same. Boaris, Babblemur, Akaoni, Jutdog, The CEO and Progress all picked up between 21 & 24 points, HippieD & Jaybird fell behind with 17 each, and Musa & Turtle brought up the rear with 14 a piece.

Team of the Week

North Carolina deserves it, beating #6 Duke and holding off a pesky Miami team to take a two game lead in the ACC.

Conference Standings

As just noted, North Carolina (Jaybird) has opened up a two game lead in the ACC, probably can't be stopped now. Oklahoma (Boaris) is stomping undefeated through the Big 12, and Michigan St. (Babblemur) is holding onto a 1 game lead in the Big 10.

UCONN (HippieD) has a 1 1/2 game lead in the Big East at 12-1 but hanging in there at 10-2 is Pitt (Boaris), Marquette (Jaybird) and Louisville (Jutdog). Washington (Akaoni) now has a one game lead in the Pac 10 but that is far from over. LSU (The CEO) holds a two game lead in the messy SEC.

In the mid-majors, Dayton (Akaoni) and Xavier (Phun) are tied for the A-10; VCU (CEO) and Northeastern (Jaybird) are tied for the Colonial; Memphis (Gunz) is blowing them out in C-USA; Butler (Boaris) took a hit and is now only 2 games up in the Horizon, can Green Bay (Jut) catch up?

Buffalo (Jaybird) lost one in the MAC but has a game up on Miami Ohio (Gunz); UNI (CEO) lost another one in the MVC and holds a thin 1 game lead over Creighton (Babblemur); In the Mountain West Utah (Jutdog) has a one game lead over 3 others; Gonzaga (Phunmunki) is undefeated and 3 games up in the West Coast; Utah St (Progress) 3 games up and rising in the WAC;
