Eric, by scoring 5.5 jumps back into the lead this week --- from being behind by a half point, to being ahead by a half point.

Spence, a single point made the difference this week, as you slip back a spot into second place --- the bright spot for this phase may have been that Arizona St beating ND gave you a full point win with the bonus +o.5 win over #10 in the CCR Top 15, rather than a half point addition, had the Irish won --- you are just .5 behind 1rst, while remaining a full point ahead of 3rd.

Warriorsfan808, scoring 8 points you not only brought in the highest total this week, you made huge leap into 3rd place --- you are now only 1 point behind 2cnd place & 1.5 behind 1rst.

Highfly, 3.5 wasn't enough to keep pace with 1rst & 2cnd place --- worse, it wasn't enough to hold 3rd position, as Warriorsfan808 was able to bypass your total --- interesting how what would seem to be safe bets (Navy = 1 & Ball State = -1.5) during the selection process, would actually turn out to be the cog in your gears --- also, Ole Miss's win over an FCS school only amounted for a half point in your favor.

[_I_] knew this wasn't going to be a big week for my conference, seeing as only 3 of my teams were playing this phase --- what [_I_] needed was for Michigan State to beat the Buckeyes, however, with the Spartans losing, UTSA losing, Colorado State's win was negated completely, as [_I_] got a 0 total for week Eleven.

Donovan, one would think that by having 9 of 10 teams in competition, you would stand a credible chance of passing the guy ahead of you by a single point, who did not score anything for the week --- unfortunately, for every 1 win your conference had, you had 2 losses --- in esse, like myself, you maintain the same score as you had last week, by earning a goose egg, this --- putting things into further perspective, you still are only 1 point out of 5th place, however, 5th place ([_I_]) is 11 points behind 4th.

.

1rst --- Eric = 51 --- [last week 45.5]
2cnd --- Spence = 50.5 --- [last week 46]
3rd --- Warriorsfan808 = 49.5 --- [last week 41.5]
4th --- Highfly = 46 --- [last week 42.5]
5th --- Cane = 35 --- [last week 35]
6th --- Donovan = 34 --- [last week 34]

Being this far outta the competition, becoming comfortable & settling into the end result inevitable is about the 2 of us have left.

What a crazy week.

Spence, you jump back into the 1rst place position, ahead of Eric a half point.

Eric, despite having 3 of your teams win against CCR Top 15 opponents, you pulled in 1 point less than did Spence --- you are now in second place, a half point behind the lead, and 5 points ahead of 3rd.

Highfly, you jump back over Warrriorsfan to overtake the 3rd spot --- although Spence in first place, did score a half point more than you; you scored a half point more than Eric this phase, shaving off a little of the lead 2cnd place holds on you.

Warriorsfan808, be glad you can bask in that sun where you are, as the rest of us freeze on the mainland --- you fall out of 3rd back into 4th place this week --- last week, you had a big jump, scoring 8 points; this time around, you take a step backwards, as your conference came up negative, with a -1 total for the phase --- still, you are only 2 points behind Highfly in 3rd, which is very feasible to reach.

Donovan, your conference was the highest scoring this week, with a 6 point gain --- you brought in twice as many points as [_I_] did, meaning, since you were just 1 point back, you are now 2 points in front of me --- also, bringing in 6 points is 7 more than what 4th place accumulated, and so, you manage to narrow the gap of the next place up.

[_I_] did come out on the positive side this week --- the only problem is, 3 points is half of what Donovan made, and other than Warrriorsfan808, [_I_] scored the least overall total this phase, which drops me back into last place --- I shall revel in it.

.

1rst --- Spence = 55.5 --- [last week 50.5]
2cnd --- Eric = 55 --- [last week 51]
3rd --- Highfly = 50.5 --- [last week 46]
4th --- Warriorsfan808 = 48.5 --- [last week 49.5]
5th --- Donovan = 40 --- [last week 34]
6th --- Cane = 38 --- [last week 35]

Cane, your hard, but convoluted, work is appreciated. If I am going to be a bottom dweller, which I am, I can not think of anyone I would much rather be there with, than you, our fantasy leader....I need a little fantasy.....

Likewise ...

As for the hard part, well, the most difficulty I have had, has been in keeping up with all of the games, day to day; as there have been games on a nightly basis, everyday from Tuesday to Saturday over the past couple of weeks -- much appreciation to you, for your acknowledgments.

Well, let me see if I can make it less perplexing, and over simplify it a bit:
Up to this point, you have been more right than the rest of us.

Well, to most of us, it seems evident ...

However, in every aspect of my ill conceived approach to many things, let me offer one sentiment you may
find of value.

Regardless of how right the rest of us realize you are, do not try and take this as evidence to Mrs. Spence as
De facto when your perspective to her is in question.

With her, I haven't been right since asking her to marry me. There is no argument in this matter.
