Beth Riggs and three others missed
picking two games last week, and they were the best showing among our
panel of pigskin contestants. Riggs beat out last week's winner, Brad
Sanders, and Kelly Moore and Don Carruth on the tiebreaker, and thus
won the $50 weekly prize.
The triple loss contestants who came
close included Rocky Atchley, Lana Coker, Lorrie Dyson Couch, Bill
Burns, Alan Sadberry, Steve Baker, Billy Warren, Nicole Davis, Carolyn
Frasier and Todd Morris.
The largest number of contestants missed
five games.
Our contestants could only manage an
average 69% correct score, good for a paltry "D+" grade.
The game missed most often, by 90% of our
panel, was Howard Payne's victory over Hardin Simmons. Two thirds of
our panel also missed on two other games, Missouri's win over Texas
Tech and Santo's victory over Cross Plains. West Texas A&M's win over
Abilene Christian and Dublin's defeat of Rio Vista also threw losses
to more than half of our panel.
Stephenville's win over Cleburne was
predicted by 98% of our panel, and almost as many joined in predicting
Texas' win over Baylor and Cisco's victory against Eastland. Meridian
defeating Evant and Breckenridge's prevailing over Comanche were also
correctly predicted by more than 90% of our pickers, as was Tarleton's
victory over East New Mexico.
Week #8 may provide a little easier time
for our panel, but with football, and particularly college football
this year, it seems that no pick is a safe pick. Good luck! |
