Uncle Buck takes a tumble in Week 9 and Vegas was there to take advantage. Uncle Buck had distanced himself from the field with a strong run in Weeks 7 and 8. But with week #9 came a five point performance. After biding his time in a second place tie over the last few weeks, Vegas made his move. His pool best 11 point week made Vegas the first of our players to hit the triple digit mark at an even 100 points for the season. This was also good for first place. Uncle Buck is still hanging tight at 99 and in second all by himself.
Movers and Shakers
Last week Holy Mackeral IV moved up 10 places from 25th to 15th. This week she continues the charge, moving from 15th to 8th with her 10 point performance. TBWOTG bounced back from his bad week #8 to move from 19th to 11th place.
The underdogs took 11 games this weekend while the favorites took the other seven. I simply could have stuck to one or the other and easily exceeded the three points I scored this weekend. Three points. Out of eighteen possible. Is there any doubt, at this stage of the game, the BUCFP is simply a labor of love? After clawing my way from 25th to 19th in week #8, I dropped to 26th, second only to geauxboygeaux's drop from 12th to 20th in terms of lost position. Oh, and I sit one point ahead of Hoke-y who goose-egged week #7 with a no show.

Springfield Atoms, Boardwalk Empire, Derek Dooley, and randomaxe for Washington.
Worst Pick Award
Those foolish enough among us, and there were many, to think Mississippi State stood a chance.
Stat of the Week
As a collective group, the 36 BUCFP players are correctly picking games 52.4% as of this point in the season. Our leader, Vegas, is at 58.1%.
Re: stat o' the week, I wonder what's the correct pick %, if we throw out the gimmes "(off)", that characterized some of the early weeks? Would our group pick we'll enough to cover the action in Vegas?
