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

Here we are, once more with another session from the first every isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest”. Since it’s the Saturday edition it means that the fifteen participants will be picking from the college ranks their five games. Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad on twitter), who was just on my podcast is still in the lead, while another guest from “Pushing the Envelope“, Lauren Brownlow (@lebrownlow on twitter), is in fourth place, four picks off the leader. Should be an interesting week and with well over 75 picks to go it’s still way up in the air who is going to take this contest. But enough of my chit chat, here are the picks for this session…
