Moving Screen finally creates some separation between himself and the rest of the pack.

  • First, Mission Marauders managed to come away with top bragging rights for the week, going 16/21.  His only incorrect picks were Virginia (-3) against Southern Miss, Miami (-12.5) over Kansas State, Oregon State (-5) against UCLA, Cal (no line) against Washington, and USC (+2.5) against Arizona State.
  • Lobsterback Bisque and cleancutmedia went a putrid 7/21 against the line. Nor-Cal Scott also only got six right, but forgot to put in a pick for the UCF/BYU game on Friday night, going 6/20.
  • Five people took Washington. And that was with no spread! Come on, man.
  • Only three people incorrectly took UNC (+6.5) against Georgia Tech. I guess they've just been that impressive.
  • Only eight people correctly took Western Michigan (+12.5) against Illinois.
  • Eleven people incorrectly took West Virginia (+5.5) against LSU. Which almost seemed like a good pick until near the end of the third quarter...

College Fantasy Football Standings

Week_4-standings_medium

Team Starkey finally picks up a win, which is nice since his team is the highest scoring in the league. What abysmal luck there, you know?

Week_4-1_medium

The Mack Truck was crushed by atoms will you crush you 152.5-128.5 behind the wizardry of Denard Robinson and Ryan Broyles. Geno Smith and Mohamed Sanu gave it their all in true Big East fashion, but then, we all know there's a reason the Big East is a dead conference walking. And Jake Stoneburner - totally getting the axe. Despite an awesome name.

Week_4-2_medium

royrules' giddiness from having a nice fantasy football team was put out to pasture this past weekend, as Big BAM thumped Loser's Lurgy 159.75-98.25. Darron Thomas went off for 33 points and got 31 points of backup from Zach Line (as well as 27 from KA21)...though I'm not entirely certain about this Western Michigan/Miami of Ohio defense thing she's got going. Loser's Lurgy's top two performers were up to the task, but got nothing (including a -1 point performance) from any of its supporting cast.

Week_4-3_medium

The blowouts continued with RAAMMMPPAAGGEE topping Team America 149-86.75 behind the golden arm of Robert Griffin III, the stylings of Trent Richardson, and a yeoman's performance from Isiah Crowell. That alone was enough to top the ineptitude on display from Matt Barkley, Michael Dyer, and others, though Justin Blackmon and the Florida defense gave it their all.

Week_4-4_medium

Team 5 is just a bye week at this point. Let's move on.

Week_4-5_medium

born2longsnap and WhoLovesOrangeSoda had something of a shootout, which saw born2longsnap defeat the Orange Soda lovers 151.25-124.75 behind T-Magic and Isaiah Pead. Nick Toon continued to vulture touchdowns from my Wisconsin dynamic duo of Montee Ball and James White, and they along with the Alabama defense overcame a huge day from Bernard Pierce and the LSU defense.

Week_4-6_medium

Fire Starkey finally figured out the key to victory - just score more than any single other team in the league, and you'll be guaranteed to win. That's what happened when they beat Team Marshall 174-149. Bryant Moniz went off for 47.25 points and LaMichael James' career day went for 41, as they were helped by the fact that Kellen Moore didn't bother playing into the fourth quarter of his game.
