Movers and Shakers
Vegas continues his winning ways, stretching his first place lead to 5 points with a very strong 13 point week. The five remained strong with Springfield Atoms holding the second place spot and a three way tie for third between Penn State, GatorBo, and Boardwalk Empire. Uncle Buck, who was the leader in week's 7 and 8 fell from his week #9 second place spot, all the way to 8th place after scoring a six point week. Six points is REALLY bad considering that I, Ultimate Bill, also scored six. Watch the company you keep Buck. Interesting to note that Buck only had one right in the first ten games. A very strong evening slate kept it from being a total disaster.
Other big moves, good or bad: Illhaveanother moved from 15th to 8th place and continues her upward climb from her week #5 24th spot. CousinEddie's 15 point week, the best in the pool, moved him from 26th to 19th place. Hoke-y continues to move up after his Week 7 gaffe when he forgot to pick. This week his 13 points put him in 25th place. After week #7, he was in 35th - a spot occupied currently by yours truly. I've managed the pool's worst performance among participating players for two weeks running.

Best Pick Award
Only four people took Missouri to cover Florida and only four took San Diego State to cover (and actually best) Boise St. I was in both of those groups so I'm struggling to call that the best of anything. For what it is worth, these two picks netted me 33% of my correct picks for the week.
Worst Pick Award
A total brain flatulence left me selecting Texas-San Antonio straight up against Louisiana Tech. I thought I was the only one until I saw my good buddy cock-a-doodle-doo came along for the crazy ride.
