PAVolFan holds on to the season lead with a record of 211-69 and 2,415 confidence points. It’s a tight race, though, with several players within striking distance.

Will can correct me if I’m wrong about this, but I think next week will be the last week of the regular GRT Pick ‘Em Contest. We will start fresh with the bowls.

Yes, those results show that Will — the guy who sets up the pool every week — set up the pool but failed to submit his own picks. Dude’s either got problems or priorities.

And we have a new season leader: PAVolFan, with a record of 194-66 and 2,213 confidence points.

Six players perfect in Week 12 of the 2019 GRT Pick ‘Em, Wedflatrock still leads overall

I had to look at this four or five times before concluding that it was weird but not wrong: Six players finished with perfect 20-0 records in this week’s Gameday on Rocky Top Pick ‘Em contest. In all the years we’ve been doing this, somebody may have been 20-0 at some point, but I don’t remember it. And I certainly don’t remember six people doing it at the same time. So, congratulations to us, and to me, who won the tiebreaker. Go me.
