There were a whole bunch of pickers who got 5 right, but ODU pretty much took most of us out of the top spot this week, and FAU did a number of us in. But two pickers were near-perfect for 6 wins each: dawgcrazy who missed the ODU win, and ODU AGGIE, who got the "homer" pick right by predicting the Monarch's win, but was tripped up by not correctly calling the Middle Tennessee win...so, close...only 19 seconds and you would have been perfect for the week.

Isn't this a fantastic conference to be in? Fun games all around.

AS for the season, with only one regular season to go, I think we're looking at our season winner in nastybunch. He's up to 80 now, and unless he really tanks it in the final week, he holds a three pick lead over Cnelson203 (77), followed by Dawg87 (75) and Cincy Dave (73). At the end of the season, I'll publish a full list of pickers and their scores (except for those who only voted in one poll.)

Now for those results:

Rice - 31 over UTEP - 13: Rice can win West by defeating LaTech next week
Marshall - 23 over UAB - 18: Exactly what many of us thought. Thank you, defense!
Western Kentucky - 45 over UTSA - 7: Hilltoppers are BOWL ELIGIBLE!
Old Dominion - 30 over LaTech - 27: Monarchs win in OT over West leader!
North Texas - 17 over FIU - 14: Mean Green wins at home
Middle Tennessee - 35 over FAU - 24: Raiders are BOWL ELIGIBLE. Comeback win with 19 seconds left.
Charlotte - 52 over Morehead State - 14: 49ers crush Eagles in final game of season
