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

With the 80th picks done in the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest” the number one place still belongs to Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad on twitter) who had a sub .500 picking though. However in second place there is some movement as Andrew C. and Lauren Brownlow (@lebrownlow on twitter), take that spot, over taking Scott (@ScottPeceny on twitter), who is now fourth. Joe White (@isportsJoe on twitter), with his third over .500 picking is now in sixth place. Overall there were seven participants going .500 or better in this session, two going 1-4 and A. Mazzolini (A_E_M on twitter), laying a goose egg at 0 and 5! But enough of me, here is the results for the NCAA session for this week…
