Bleacher Report College Hoops Weekly Pick 'Em: Weeks Six and Seven

Ryan Brennan
Dec 22, 2008

This edition of Pick 'Em is going to cover two weeks, mostly because I will be traveling and not near a computer where I can compile results and pick new games. But let's look at it in a different light: It's a holiday present from me to you that you get to take a look at Week Seven's picks early!

Week Five had some great gamesโ€”upsets that came down to the wire, a couple of blowouts, and a three-point shooting contest that went six versus seven.

This made for a very tight Pick 'Em weekโ€”the top players gained seven points while the lowest score was four.

Results of Week Five

Overall Standings

The overall standings are still tight and it is still anyone's game!

Week Six and Seven Picks

As a reminder, upsets are worth two points. To avoid any confusion, an upset will be defined as a lower-ranked team defeating a higher-ranked team, with the rankings coming from the Bleacher Creature Top 25.
