So far this season, Rice has committed by far the fewest penalties among the Week 5 contestants -- 1.8/game vs 4.0/game for FIU, UAB & Marshall. So it's no surprise that the Owls were the Bonus Question choice for 18 of the Top 25 in the leaderboard. But only two had Rice winning outright: our leader (blazer74) and me (way back in 22nd place). Eight others picked each of "Place" and "Show" results. Iowa was mentioned twice (one place, one show) and one each for ODU and Utah (each to place) and UAB, Cal & Notre Dame (each to show). - - - + + + # # # + + + - - - For the games themselves, The Top 25 view only two of this weekend's 11 games unanimously: Iowa over Middle Tennessee and USM over UTEP. Two other games are nearly so: 24-1 in favor of Cal and Notre Dame. Then down the line, the Top 25 like UAB (23-2), Utah & LaTech (21-4), ODU (20-5), North Texas (19-6) and Cincinnati (18-7). We view only one game as a tossup: 13 for Charlotte, 12 for FAU. - - - + + + # # # + + + - - - There are a few locks among the Top 25. #9 UTSAMarineVet09 locked USM to win by 26 (range: 20-32); #14 OptimisticOwl locked three games: Iowa (25/19-31), UAB (18/13-23) and Notre Dame (24/18-30); and #21 BlazerEducator aims to teach us a lesson by locking USM (25/19-31) and three games with the tightest possible spread (1-5 points), with Cincy, ODU and Houston each winning by 2 points. Good luck to all!!

Seventh-place curley was the only player in the leaderboard's Top 25 to pick Arizona State to be beat Cal ... and he also nailed the Sun Devils' victory margin: 7 points. Cha-ching!! Fifty quick points for curley, who should vault up to 3rd place for the time being. Congrats!!
