After a couple of days to breath and see the new standing in the first ever isportsweb “5+5 Pick`Em Contest” it’s time for the sixteen participants to once again go at it with the college predictions. In this session, the seventh when it comes to the NCAA, marks the beginning of the second half of the college season. In all there are still over 100 picks left for all the contestants, so with so few wins/losses separating most of them this is still a wide open race for anyone to win. But enough of my chatter, let’s get going and see what the sixteen players have picked for this week…
