Kicked the Kansan:
No one could beat the 6-4 record by four staff members.
*Did not pick for week 1
Best of the rest:
Mellisa O'Rourke (Tulsa, Okla., senior), Justin Anderson (Laurel, Neb., junior) and Cory Buckingham (Littleton, Colo., junior) went 5-5 in a near-impossible weekend of picking games, but Cory's score prediction in Kent State's victory against Ohio makes him this week's winner.
