5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest: Week Five recap (NCAA Picks)

After the Saturday picks of the first ever isportsweb “5+5 Pick’Em Contest” nothing changed at the top as the quartet in the lead all went 3 and 2 with the exception of the fourth place participant, who had a 2 and 3 session. The foursome at the top are the only contestants right now to be at .500 or over it. While not many in the middle made any significant move towards the top, no one lost much ground and there are still eight contestants within five picks from the leader of the pack. Congratulations to Casey Yandle (@fantasysprtsdsh on twitter) who had the best session at 4-1 and to the six that had a winning record for these five picks. With the NFL picks looming close here are the standings after a total of forty picks thus far…
