ISSUE # 5-25      FINAL STANDINGS      13 Dec. 2025 - 19 Jan. 2026

And we're off to another CFA Bowl season! Hope everybody is having fun!


Congratulations to Switzer for picking so fine this year with only 19 losses, followed closely by SLaBrie1 (20 losses), Markarian (21 losses), Kellogg1 (22 losses), and Kellogg1 and Long (both with 23 losses). Those that can't get more than half right are Whiteley (24 losses), Hommer (25 losses), Bradford (27 losses), and DLaBrie (32 losses). Average is ineligible (with only 23 losses). Just think if DLaBrie would have picked opposite his original picks, he would be five (5) games ahead in the lead with only 14 losses!!?! Better luck next year!


- NO SWAMI NFL Playoffs this year!

ANNOUNCEMENTS!! - There was one game (Washington State-Boise State) that was mismatched (it should have been Washington-Boise State) and as a result that game will not be included in the stats!!
