Just when @gatorwilly was starting to make a move toward the top, he dropped 400pts. We have a new challenger though in @danmanne65, who went all in on the Gators and had it pay off. He's now a mere 262pts behind the leader. (Unofficial) by the numbers: Faves went 5-5 this week and are 33-25-2 on the season. For the third straight week, one panelist went bust. We'll miss ya, coach! The 37 member panel is now at 26. In previous years, this number fell more precipitously. Eleven out of 27 panelists had a plus week. Everyone made picks. @danmanne65 (+688.5) and @TWGator (+305) were the week's biggest winners. The Gators cover kept a couple panelists alive and put one in contention.

I think it's time I go for broke. Worst case, I can then focus all of my attention on my pick'em where I actually have a shot to win!
No big deal Realty but I believe I have 50 more points. Last week I had 792. Plus 90 for Iowa plus 45 for taking the stinking dogs less 50 for taking Deion...ugh..serves me right. 792+90+45-50 = 877. You have me at 827
You apparently didn't read all of: Realty's Rules: #277 -- Normal math may or may not be used at the discretion of @RealtyGator. #278 -- There shall be a 50 point PENALTY for ever taking the LegHumpers.
Looks like it was a typo on my behalf, and the correct number is 877. Not sure how I input 827 but I'll blame bad eyes and fat fingers for now.
My pick actually was more of an anti UK pick than pro UGA. I told the whole board BEFORE our game that UK treats us like their super bowl while we save our best efforts for UT, UGA and FSU. (And I bet on UK.) I was proven right on that one even though some on these boards violently objected and assured me we would come out focused. Funny how those same posters never told me I was right after yet again we sleepwalked, while they fired on all cylinders. Hmm. I also told the board that, for whatever reason, UK tends to mail it in vs UT/ UGA/ USCe. So I decided to put some points on that one too. I was right again. The funny part is my other picks are well under 50% this year.
