     I have a chem midterm this evening that I need to start studying for, so
this will be terse and to the point:

     Predictor of the week: Jay Boisseau, who had just about the best week any
predictor has had since Mark Mitchell was ringing up those 8-0 weeks. Jay went
4-0, and came close to the actual game score on every game he picked. Here's 
what he did:

  Predicted                                    Actual
Texas A&M 38, Houston 21                     (Texas A&M 38-30)
Texas 30, SMU 20                             (Texas 35-14)
Texas Tech 21, TCU 20                        (Texas Tech 31-28)
Rice 28, Baylor 24                           (Rice 34-31)

     You can't do much better than that!
     Also undefeated were Randy Peppler, Chris Stassen, and Pat Fleming, all of
whom went 5-0-1.

     Predictions of the week: Jay Boisseau gets the call again, for his #1, #3,
and #4 picks above. Pat Fleming's call for Western Michigan to upset Central
Michigan also deserves some credit.

     The "What the Hell Was He Thinking" Award: It would be easy to give this
to someone like Charlie Cockrell, who said that Clemson would have no trouble
with Maryland. But let's face it: *very* few people thought Clemson would have
trouble with Maryland, and most of those people reside between Virginia and
Pennsylvania. The same goes for Iowa State's upset of Nebraska -- who knew?
     So, the award this week will go to Cliff Slaughterbeck, who picked
Washington State to edge out Stanford 28-27. Ouch! Final score: The Cardinal
40, the Cougar 3. (I hope this makes Stanford overconfident going into Berkeley
-- heh, heh, heh. Go Bears!)

     And now for the numbers. Scott Davis had a rough week with the Big 8;
don't worry, Scott, it happens to everybody! As I wrote above, Peppler and
Stassen had great weeks; perhaps the Big 11 has settled down a bit now after
that parity scare. :-)
     Jay Boisseau and Tim Pitts are fighting it out for the championship; no
one else is even close:

    They gave me differential calculus, and I said "Hit me again"
    So they gave me integral calculus, and I said "Hit me again"
    Now I have vector calculus, and...I'm starting to lose consciousness...
