There were no questions or blown calls in this year Head-Fi Bowl Pick‘em. The field was soundly whipped. The eventual champion surged early, then cemented his lead with a killer Dec. 30/31 run. He was the only one to pick U-Dub and Army, one of only two to check Notre Dame, and of a slight three to select South Florida. In 24 hours, that would be 4 gutsy, successful dog picks. How bad was this domination? He was even the closest to the NCG total!
So it is my pleasure to introduce:
J W
The 2010/11 Head-Fi Bowl Pick’em Champion!
For his well deserved award, I will buy him one ice cold Naty Light!

A few more kudos I”ll hand out.
Hot Start Trophy: TheWuss was on fire early, and he let us know about it but couldn’t find it in his heart to pick toward Saban.
Stones Trophy: J W for the previously mentioned upset picks.
Streaker Trophy: After a bad New Year’s Day, Skylab blistered toward the finish with 8 straight wins; easily the longest streak in this Pick’em.
The final tally:
1. J W – 24 (+2)
2 virometal – 21 (+17)
3. Skylab – 20 (+43)
4. ronnielee64 - 17 (+11)
5. TheWuss - 17 (+40)
6. grokit – 17 (+41)
7. Guidostrunk – 16 (+22)
8. SoupRKnowva – 16 (+60)
9. Napalmk – 15 (+32)
10. gopack87 – 15 (+42)
See a mistake? Let me know!
Thanks for playing gents. Near the bottom? There’s no shame in that. I’ve always held that Pick’ems are about 70/30 skill versus luck. Sometimes, the ball just doesn’t bounce your way.
