SLC Week 5: Pick 'em and Leaders

[BEAR]

This was elimination week! SUPRISE! With conference play coming there are fewer games to choose so players who are FAAAAAAAAR behind are now out.... including me. xlolx Most of us are 10 games + behind so it will be too difficult to catch up. But everyone is welcome to predict the upcoming games for fun. I will.

Here are the 10 leaders and the only ones left to play.

35 points: Jayhawkdaddy
34 points: old school colonel
32 points: nickels, Sammy 94, sam_kats, lionfan07, mcneese75
31 points: dbackjon, bonarae, za-kee-us
30 points: skyhawk71

E. Washington at Sam Houston State
McNeese State at Northern Iowa
Tarleton State at Abilene Christian
Eastern New Mexico at UIW

If you don't see your name in the top 10, then you most likely are too far behind to catch up! That includes me! Conference games coming up reduce the point possibilities in half so unless the leaders drop, an average pick by them makes it almost impossible to catch up. I will reduce the leaderboard further as the season goes on. Kinda like a golf tournament.

Those who aren't on the leader board and who continue to play are kind of like ACU and any other move ups--no hope of making the playoffs. Like them, I will continue to play for the sheer love of the game and the opportunity to knock off one of the contenders.

I agree... *see UCA 2008.

I agree... *see UCA 2008.

In most of the other fans eyes, you guys were the SLC champs that year (I think it was 2008) no matter what the fans of that other team said. You guys earned it.
