Week 7 Summary

The slow attrition continued in Week 7. Two entries dropped into the second place bracket. Williams - Judy Williams lost with PHI when they got beat by CHI in the last minute. And Bobby E - Bobby Edmiston lost with PIT when they lost to DEN in the last minute.

One entry in for second place failed to make a pick.

I have not cashed the checks yet. I'll do that in the next couple of weeks.

Alive: 18
Second: 17

Week 6 Summary

This is the year of slow attrition. A few drop out each week, but no big blow outs.

In Week 6 four entries dropped out of the contest. Say goodbye to Where's Tiki? - Gaile Valcho (Gaile is my sister-in-law and she is having a baby on October 29. Maybe she wanted to get this off her plate!), MacAskill Entry - Nancy MacAskill, leonidas - Leo Kourkoulos, and williams, Chris Williams. This group lost with SEA, CIN or CHI.

There were three entries that dropped out of the winners bracket and are still in contention for second place. OU Janna, Nasty Nate, and TaylorFirstPlace. This group lost with SEA and AZ.

Interesting note...of the 20 remaining entries vying for first place, 7 are previous champions.

Counts:
Alive: 20
Second: 16
Out: 12

Week 5 Summary

This must have been an easy week, there were 41 going in and there are 40 alive coming out. Only one entry lost, and he did not make a selection. Say goodbye to Sam Heermans - Sammyredskins.

There were five entries waiting on the Cowboys to pull it out with .02 seconds left last night. Going against a home underdog on Monday Night is always tough. A couple other entries almost lost with the Texans, but they won on a last second field goal.

I don't have access to my historical records right now, but I can tell you it is rare that 40 entries all pick a winner in the same week. Good Job!

23 alive for first.
17 alive for second.
8 out.
