TNIAAM College Football Pick'em Week 4: Recap & Results

Week 4 recap is here. How did you do? Lets find out...

Big weeks are great, but consistency is the key. That's what I am learning about keeping pace in this TNIAAM Pick'em contest.

Example: playrugby! went a week-best 10-2-1 this week, one of the best weeks so far in the pick'em contest, and yet he is in a tie for ninth place. Meanwhile, leader klydefrog had a ho-hum 7-5-1 week and remains on top for the third straight week. However, the margin between first and 15th place has become smaller.

The second-best week was picked by orange_dolphin, who went 9-3-1. A slew of you -- brian.pilatzke, Gregory Tuers, slowpoke24x, cuselaw, JohnCassillo, Scoopertrooper, orangejesus, NOLACuse, AParker, weepstah and garett1210 -- all went 8-4-1.

Below are the standings. The breakdown of this week will follow.

As you can see, the field has shrank a bit as some pickers failed to reach their requirements to stay in the contest. Also, there are some of you trying to get in but I wont let you in because, well, we're Week 4. You're more than welcome to pick and keep track yourself, though.

Anyway, the hardest games to pick this week were easily the Pitt-Duke game, which not only turned into a ACC basketball game but featured 46 of you picking the Panthers to cover the 4-point spread -- which did not happen; 44 of you didn't believe Miami (-59.5) wouldn't cover over Savannah St., but they did easily; 48 of you forgot VMI is VMI and went with them; and the 50 of you thought that LSU was going to destroy Auburn, well, you were wrong too.

The easiest games were: Syracuse covering over Tulane -- orangewatha and 1Cuse1 were the only ones to take the Green Wave; FSU covering versus Bethune-Cookman -- just three picked the underdogs; and 53 pickers kept riding the Yellow Jackets run of covering, which is now at  three games.

Last week, I was asked to post the game results for each week. So, here they are. Expect the Week 5 lines to come Thursday morning sometime.
