Managing to hold desperately onto first place, Eric, in a week where every one of his teams played a game, scores a mere 1.5 this phase --- to give contrast, had Arizona lost, Eric would have gotten a minus half point leaving him in 4th --- however, with the bonus half point for the win over Oregon, Eric maintains a full 1 point lead over second place.
With a six & a half point scoring phase [the highest total this week], Donovan jumps from 5th place, all the way into 2cnd, with a o.5 margin ahead of 3rd --- to boot, both Missouri & Washington had the week off, Donovan's only CCP Ranked team [BYU] lost, and Donovan was the only participant to not have one of his teams hold a victory over a Top 15 opponent --- yet, he still jumped past Highfly, and is turning up the pressure on Eric.
Highfly, pulling in only 2 points this week, finally loses his grip on 2cnd place and slips down one position. At 25 points in total, Highfly is only a half point shy of Donovan's 2cnd place score --- though, Warrriorsfan is catching up, now only 2 points behind.
Warrriorsfan808 brought in 5 points, and the second highest total of this past scoring phase. Now in 4th behind Highfly, he pulls within a half point of second place, and sits just 3.5 back from Eric in first.
Spence, raking in only 2 points, falls back to 5th place. With Warrriorsfan having a 5 point week, and moving from 5th, to being out in front of Spence by 1 point --- on the positive side, scoring the same amount of points, Spence did not lose any ground from Highfly's total, and he actually made up a half point on Eric in first place --- in a similar circumstance with Eric, you needed Arizona State's win over USC [+1.5] to score any points this week --- had the Sun Devils lost, the negative half point would have offset ND's win over Stanford [giving you 0 for the week]
Amazing how things change with a little momentum swing. On Saturday, [_I_] had 7 teams with a lead at one point or another; two of those were games with a lead over CCP Top 15 teams. When all was settled, and the smoke had cleared away; [_I_] somehow came up with a total of 3 points --- one of my teams [Michigan State] squeaked out a victory over #13 Nebraska, scoring a 1.5 in my favor [meaning the rest of my conference scored a total of 1.5 combined out of 9 games] --- [_I_] again close the distance between Spence and myself by 1 --- however Warrriorsfan created some space for himself, by accumulating 2 more points this phase than did [_I_].
1rst --- Eric = 26.5
2cnd --- Donovan = 25.5
3rd --- Highfly = 25
4th --- Warriorsfan808 = 23
5th --- Spence = 22
6th --- Cane = 18
