Fanblogs Pick'em - Results/Reminder

The Fanblogs College Pick'em, hosted by Yahoo!, is ready for week six. The deadline is Thursday at 6 pm ET. If you make your picks now you are able to change them at anytime, say if the lines change. The lines given Thursday are the final lines for the Pick'em. NOTE THAT THE FRIDAY GAME CLOSES THE PICK'EM EARLY!

People skipping last week will get 3 points. This means that 20 people got less than three with a give me this week, though 15 of those were no picks. This week almost convinced me that the added points are not needed, you had your chance to make good ground this week.

The season results are as follows:

1) 62 Points
KSR1

2) 59 Points
The Fresh Catch Shuffle

3) 58 Points
ou-ron90

4) 55 Points
Clemson_Joe
Oski
** mitch_cumstein

7) 54 Points
zick
** GeauxTigers0107

9) 53 Points
Oslo
bama4429

** Points added for missing weeks

This Weeks Results are as follows:
1) 9 Points
zick

2) 8 Points
Clemson_Joe
bama4429

4) 7 points
The Fresh Catch Shuffle
ou-ron90
Oski
Ludwig's Losers
War Eagle B'Ham
GeauxTigers0107
mitch_cumstein
Hotty Toddy

Though they may matter for Yahoo's listings, the tiebreakers do not alter the listings here. If you did not already know this, the picks are against the spread. Games vs FCS (aka I-AA) teams appear to be given a line of 0, so all games should end up with a line before it is over.

1 more throw away games brings the total to 16. With 92 total games so far you would need 56+ points to beat a 10% commission. P.S. If you are here to get tips for your bookie you should look elsewhere. Last week was a killer, unless you were the bookie.
