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

With college football already in the second half of their season the sixteen participants of the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest” once again give their five games for this session. This is the first time ever that the distance between the top two spots is over one game. It is also the first time ever that less than half the field is within out session of the top spot. But all of this can change with just one session and with over 100 picks left it’s still anyone’s contest to win. But enough of my talking, here are the picks for this session…
