Facts gleaned from the contest...

• Unanimous picks for wins: Southern (well, we made picks after the Southern game, but...), Charleston Southern, Northwestern State and Tennessee Tech.
• Wait, that means someone picked losses to Akron, Mercer and Auburn? Yes, 4 picked Akron to win, 3 picked Mercer to win and 3 picked a home loss to Auburn, but only 2 of them are in the top 7 contestants because of other picks that didn't work out.
• There were no unanimous picks for a loss. There was only 1 pick each for a win at Texas A&M and a win at LSU.
• The biggest upset losses based on your picks were Mercer and Auburn - 91.9% of you picked Arkansas to win those two.
• The biggest upset win based on your picks was @ Tennessee - 16.2% of you picked a win in that game.
• Only 4 people had Arkansas at exactly 16-14 at this point in the season, but getting there in different ways (WMFC, mikedamone, 4991 and Kermit the Frog).
• Your tiebreakers, for if necessary, were total points scored by Arkansas in the regular season. talley7100 seems to be the closest to picking the final total points. You said 2,420; Arkansas is at 2,379 now.
• Again the contest isn't based on Arkansas' predicted overall record, but the average contestant ended up predicting Arkansas would be 18-12 at this point in the season.
