Standings after Week 1:
Win-Loss Team 22-10 Home 21-11 Purple Paws of Terror (Best in Week1) 20-12 Doom 20-12 Catastrophic Bananas 20-12 Rooster Grande 20-12 Favorite 19-13 Children of the Corn 12-20 Underdog 10-22 Away
The 12-year-old's random picks lead the way after one week. Last years champ starts off in 5th place, but only two off the lead. All-in-all these are great records for a point-spread contest. Definitely a great start for everyone.

I should've enable weekly tiebreakers when I setup the league, an oversight on my part. I can't change the site setting now, but how about whoever finishes the week the strongest (similar to a game winning drive) will get the tiebreaker decision. Basically, if players are tied for the best record at the end of the week, we'll look at the last game of the week and whoever got it correct wins the week. If all tied players got it correct, we'll go backwards until all but one player is eliminated. How does that sound?

You're not in bad shape, there's still a lot of weeks left. I'm taking it serious this year though, so I'm going to make it as hard as I can for you to catch me. I'm not worried about my daughter, she's already slipping.

I finally got sole possession of overall first, but I'm not feeling all too comfortable with it since the only reason I got it was that Purple Bear just had a worse week than my really bad week. I need to pick better next week or my lead is gone...got to stay ahead of you Andrew. The point spread makes it hard, but looking at how well the favorites are doing I should just mirror them. Lonestar's had an impressive two weeks, that's for sure.

$&%^...I'm not happy with my picks this week, I did terrible in the late games. I went heavy on home and favorites and it didn't work out too well. I'm putting big time thought into this coming week's picks, I need to get some separation between CF4L and my daughter. I can't believe I can't shake my daughter, wtf. I WILL win week 7 and get some separation. Agh.

Finally got some separation (although I want more) and my first weekly win. I actually put a lot of thought and research into my picks last week and I still only got three more right than my closest competitors...that's how hard picking against the points spread is...man. That's also evidenced in the fact that my 12-year-old daughter's random picks is still hanging tough at the top. I know I'd never gamble on college points spreads, that's for sure, talk about a risky proposition.
I don't think any of us saw Texas beating Nebraska straight up in Lincoln, especially with the Huskers wanting revenge for last year's Big 12 Title Game, but the Huskers got overconfident (I think...just like against South Dakota) and got their butts whipped.
