"Just look at those numbers!" you say. "Those Daily editors must be on steroids!"
Nope. This is all natural. We're just geniuses.
All nine competitors finished over .500 in Week 5, for the first (and, let's be honest here, only) time this season. The weekend was for the most part upset-free, with only a couple of exceptions. (The Bears can score 27 points in a game? Who knew?)
President Bacow's 11-3 week led the way, tied with three Daily editors. Evans "Pierce" Clinchy, Tim "Allen" Judson and Ross "KG" Marrinson were the Big Three on the staff this week, as each churned out 11 wins and climbed up the ranks. Clinchy now sits two games out of first place, Judson's still a game behind him, and Marrinson ... well, he isn't in last. It's a moral victory.
The three 11-3 finishers are still chasing the three perennial powers of Eds' Challenge. Liz "Sentence Fragment" Hoffman managed to stay atop the standings despite an atrocious pick of San Francisco over Baltimore, but she's now tied with Ethan "I'm Going to Disney-" Landy. Alex "Flowers in" Bloom sits two games behind them, tied with Clinchy.
Rachel "Prickly" Dolin went 10-4, moving one game closer to first place, while Sapna"Sahp-nah Bahn-seel" Bansil went 10-4 as well. Carly "Rice and Beans" Helfand rounds out the list, proving herself even less relevant than the Bears. (Or White Sox.)
Coach Bill Samko of the 3-0 Tufts football team offers his guest picks. Show some respect, readers - he's undefeated, and Lord knows we're not.
