Highfly & Eric leapfrog over Spence, taking 1rst & 2cnd place respectively.
Donovan & Warrriorsfan808 do the same to me in tying up in 4th place.
[_I_] have fallen back into last.

1rst --- Highfly = 13.5
2cnd --- Eric = 10.5
3rd --- Spence = 9.5
4th --- Donovan = 8
4th --- Warriorsfan808 = 8
6th --- Cane = 4

.
.
.

Shaken up all over in here, the only position that didn't change was last place (me).



Eric jumps into first, whereas Highfly holds out @ second.
Warrriorsfan & Donovan, both leapfrog past Spence.
Spence falls into 5th place, as [_I_] maintain the back.

1rst Eric = 16.5
2cnd Highfly = 15
3rd Warrriorsfan808 = 13.5
4th Donovan = 13
5th Spence = 11.5
6th Cane = 7

---

Starting to look like I got my selection out of the garbage bottom dollar basement.
To boot; I have one less point, now, than 4th & 5th place had, last week.
Second place is currently more than double my total.

.
.
.

Very close to the order in which we picked....

Yeah; though, it does look as if the reverse rotation bug came out to bite Spence in the rear ...

It's still quite early yet. So, wild changes could be coming. Just, with this season, and the way it is unfolding, nothing would really surprise me at this point.

.
.
.

Eric extends his lead over Highfly with a half point added buffer.
Highfly is maintaining his second place position, though, sees 3rd place close from 1.5 to 1 point behind.
Donovan jumps into third, with a 1 point lead over Spence, and a 1 point trail of second.
Spence moves to 4th place, but closes from 1.5 behind fourth place, to 1 point out from 3rd.
Warrriorsfan, now in 5th place, falls from a half point in front of Donovan, to a half point behind Spence.
[_I_] am yet in 6th place, still 4 in back of 5th.

1rst --- Eric = 19.5
2cnd --- Highfly = 17.5
3rd --- Donovan = 16.5
4th --- Spence = 15.5
5th --- Warriorsfan808 = 14
6th --- Cane = 10

I don't seem to be doing so well this year. I blame my picking position.

Donovan, it looks as if you are making good on all of those predictions of your conferences pending advancements ... only, well ... you know ... a year later.

Eric, your conference is looking strong. In contrast, my conference has the point total now, of what yours did in week 2.

It didn't help to have so many of my teams with the week off. I'm just hoping that they come back with wins, and not replay some of those negatives.

Yeah, Spence ... I dunno. I'm not doing so well either, this time around ... I tied with Eric last season for second place --- [even though I had last pick in the rotation ].

.
.
.

Yeah, we'll have to see. I just took a chance on Michigan figuring they would win 8, now every game left on the slate looks difficult after watching our horrible offense. Arizona's schedule is going to stiffen up too, and they don't look like world-beaters. I expect Va Tech to turn it around. Bowling Green will run all over the MAC East, but they will drop a game or two that they shouldn't because of their awful defense (possibly against UMass, wouldn't surprise me). Houston looks bad, probably only looking at 6 wins. And LSU....Gee, I like Mississippi State but if they lose that game at home and looking at the rest of their slate, I don't think I made a very good pick there.

We'll see, a long way to go!

Pac 19 just need to keep up.

Now that teams have, for the most part, quit playing high school opponents......I do not see any team this year going undefeated. I would not be surprised if there was only one that ends up with one loss and the rest two. No dominant team.

Do you think if President Obama was a football coach he would in preseason announce....We are not going to do any runs this year, only passing plays. And by the way...we may only play three quarters.

If he were the President of the NCAA, I think he would say:

"The top 1% Power 5 schools are making too many points -- i-i-It's not fair -- what we want is fair -- I mean, that's why we made the palyoff isn't it -- to be fair -- -- So what I propose, is we take the top scoring teams of the day -- shave off 30% of those points, and give them to the lowest scoring teams of the day -- because, what we want is fair -- and if you ask me, that's fair."

.

If it looks like a Marxist, talks like a Socialist, acts like a Communist ...

After all, it's not how you win or lose; it's how you place the blame.

.
.
.

Come to think of it ... this would make a good Saturday Night Live skit.

.
.
.

.

Cruising along in first place, Eric scores 5.5 addition to his total.
Highfly, though still in second place, is keeping pace behind Eric, also bringing in 5.5 for the week.
Jumping over Donovan, Spence has moved into 3rd place.
Only accumulating 2.5 for this phase, Donovan slides from 3rd place down into 4th.
Warrriorsfan in 5th place, holds a 3 point lead over 6th, while trailing Donovan in 4th by a single point.
Though [_I_] remain in last place, with 5 [_I_] fall a half point further back of the lead, though did shaved the gap by .5 on Spence, closing from 6 & a half points behind Donovan to 4, and creep up on Warrriorsfan, who sits 3 points ahead in 5th.

1rst --- Eric = 25
2cnd --- Highfly = 23
3rd --- Spence = 20
4th --- Donovan = 19
5th --- Warriorsfan808 = 18
6th --- Cane = 15
