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

The third week of the college season is over and so is the the first part of the “5+5 Pick’Em Contest” for this week. Nothing changes at the top as the front runners, @FantasyNomad and Andrew C., both went 3 and 2 and are on top of the standings with a 13-7 record. @lebrownlow, who had fallen a bit back, has jumped back in second place after going 4 and 1 on the day. @isportsRob also had a 4-1 week and moved up in the rankings. In all there are only four players right now at .500 or better, but there are another three contestants that are 9-11 or better.

Here are all the picks/results from yesterday. While I did check the picks over and over please make sure that there are no mistakes. If you were to see any please contact me ASAP so I can fix them. Thanks!
