5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest: Week Two recap (NCAA picks)…

After two batch of picking some of the contestants have taken a bit of a lead, with the best record right now being 7-3. However, with over ten weeks of college games going on and a full slate of NFL games (regular season and playoffs) to pick from it’s still anyone’s guess who is going to win it all in the first ever isportsweb’s “5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest”. Anyone that has a good week, hitting all the games, which has not yet happened so far, can easily bolt to the top. Below you have the picks and win/loss and how the contestants are now reclassified after these picks. (Again, I always check the picks several times, but I can make a mistake. If you see one please contact me at CarolinaDejaBlue@twcny.rr.com so I can correct it ASAP). Now, without further ado, here are the new standings…

(The Week One NFL Picks will be out later on this morning
of course before the 1:00 p.m. EST start of the games)
