5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest: Week Seven Recap (NCAA Picks)

Overall this has to have been the best session in the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`em Contest” as we had one perfect 5 and 0 record by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad on twitter) and four other contestants going 4 and 1. In all, out of sixteen participants, eleven had winning records (2 more had .500 showings). And with all these great picks there was some movements at the top, where second and third place switched, as well as the fourth and fifth places. And now there are six players that have a .500 or better record, while seven are still within five picks from the top dog in the race. So, without any further ado, here are the results from this session…
