Congratulations to Bigtexnole, whose 10-5 record this week was good enough to edge out Lenvillecards, samandrea and 4x4hokies by one game.

This weekly win gives Bigtex a total of 4 for the season, tieing him with Buckminster Fuller. The significance of that is that number of weekly wins is the tiebreaker for the season championship race.

Despite losing ground to Bigtex and 4x4hokies, Bucky still sits atop the standings with only one week - rivalry week - left to go. The Top Five in that race are:

Buckminster Fuller....113
4x4hokies...............110
Bigtexnole...............110
CollegeCard.............110
Ole Blue..................106

It's getting crowded at the top, so if Bucky were to stumble this week there are not one, but three, close pursuers, any one of which could catch or even pass him at the tape.

I'll have the final week's slate out in a little while, once the networks have made their selections and set starting times.
