ISSUE # 5-24           FINAL STANDINGS           14 Dec. 2024 - 20 Jan. 2025

Hope everybody had fun! Next event up the next SWAMI Football season to start 6 September!


Congratulations to Kellogg2 for jumping into the lead (accounting for tie breakers) after all 47 games with only 18 losses, followed closely by Switzer (19 losses), Bowen (20 losses),and DLaBrie (22 losses). Those that can't get more than half right are SLaBrie (24 losses), Homer (25 losses), Markarian and Whiteley (both with 26 losses), Kellogg1 and Bradford (both with 27 losses), and Long (30 losses). Average is ineligible (with only 28 losses). Just think if Long had picked the opposite of his original picks, he would be in first by a couple of games!!! Better luck next season!


- NO SWAMI NFL Playoffs this year!

ANNOUNCEMENTS!! - There was one game that was rematched (not the original teams - Army-Louisiana Tech vs Army-Marshall) so that game is not counted in the stats.!!
