Yikes, I can't remember seeing so many running the wrong way with the crowd in what should have been regarded as close-ups. Any time one sees a Pablo HCA of 225, one should be on alert. This week, on the first day of the contest, the home team won 4 of 5, despite being the underdog in 4.5 of the 5 games (in the Arizona/Stanford game, after HCA, both teams were tied at 7645). Whatever.
Wednesday's results:
1. Stanford over ARIZONA 3-2 2. MICHIGAN STATE over Michigan 3-0 3. MISSOURI over Florida 3-2 4. VIRGINIA TECH over Pittsburgh 3-1 5. WISCONSIN over Illinois 3-1

If I had to pick a week to have an invalid entry, this was the week to pick. I'll be clawing my way up from the bottom with the rest of you.

Oh crap. I picked LMU tonight. That was a mistake.
Knowing the WCC, I'll probably luck out.

The WCC picks this week are just sadistic, plain and simple. You sound like Richard Nixon yelling at Henry Kissinger.
