BYU week of Nov 2: Travis Kimball goes from 12th to first
BYU beat Ohio State 94-83 and Omaha 108-67 at home, then lost 28-20 at Utah. Basketball handed the league 18 exact ranges; the rivalry game handed out none.
Two home wins, and a pile of exact calls
Basketball joined the league on Monday night, and all 20 fans who picked had BYU. Half of them, 10 of you, had the Cougars by 8 to 12. BYU won by 11. That is 10 exact ranges in the league's first basketball game.
Friday was a different kind of night. All 23 fans who picked had BYU again, and the most popular call was the biggest range on the board, 26 or more, with 8 of you on it. BYU won 108-67, by 41, so all 8 had it exactly and earned the Runaway badge for it.
The Y's Guys had the right winner both nights and took 3 points each time. Against Ohio State, Dave McCann went 13 to 18 and Blaine Fowler 4 to 7, one range either side of the final. Against Omaha, both had 19 to 25, one range short.
The rivalry game
Saturday at Utah went the other way. Thirty of the 34 fans who picked had BYU, and 20 of you settled on BYU by 4 to 7. Utah won 28-20, by 8, which lands in the 8 to 14 range, and nobody in the league had it.
Four of you picked Utah. Three had Utah by 4 to 7, one range short, for 3 points each, and one had Utah by 1 to 3 for 2. All four earned the Rivalry Week badge. The Y's Guys both stayed with BYU, Dave McCann by 1 to 3 and Blaine Fowler by 4 to 7, and took no points from the game.
The standings
Travis Kimball is the new leader on 12 points, up from 12th before the week began. Travis Kimball is the only fan to hit the exact range in both basketball games, BYU by 8 to 12 against Ohio State and 26 or more against Omaha, and leads the basketball standings on 10.
Coug Lois is second on 11, the only fan with the right winner in all four of the league's games so far, and one of the four who picked Utah. Coug Lois also leads the football standings, on 6.
Linda M is third on 10. Cosmo the Cougar, Robert Ahlstrom and Ryan Hecht are T-4th, also on 10. The Y's Guys are T-11th on 8 points apiece, with 10 of you ahead of them. See the full standings.
