The Top 100 and ties will collect season prize money. The list will be updated weekly in this column. Full standings can be found at the Standings link.

Perfect weeks for everyone

After being bunched up at the top last week, the gap opened again for Jason Hatala who held the lead just two weeks ago.

Hatala managed a 5.0 with his only miss being Louisville's upset against Kentucky. He has opened up a 3-point lead over Bonedogg and Matt Mecca as the college season winds down and NFL games take center stage for a few weeks.

Looking through the standings, we see that defending champion Kylie Crosland is lurking in 207th place, just 3.5 points out of the money.

Two-time winners Thomas Heleba and KC Nintzel are in 362nd and 459th, respectively - or you might say disrespectively - so it doesn't appear we're anywhere close to crowning a three-time champ.

At the bottom, Nic Slade was making a strong bid to set a new all-time low for a player who makes picks every week, but a 3.5 this week may keep him from the record of 20.0 held by Laura Cape.

32,000 to 1

When Founding Father Jon Wilner went three straight weeks without picking a winner in the early years of Pigskin Mania, we turned to the Math Department at the University of Arizona to figure out the odds of such a feat.

It turned out the answer was relatively simple. With two options of equal chance to win in 15 different games, the calculation is 2 to the 15th power, or 32,767 to 1.

As it turned out, the calculation came into play again in the 2000 season when Greg DuBose became the first, and to date, the only person to score three straight perfect weeks.

So what would the odds be that one of those two could beat those odds again?

Well, it happened this season,

It was brought to our attention this week that DuBose accomplished the opposite of his 2000 feat and matched Wilner with three straight 0-for-5s in Weeks 5-7. By taking the Lock and the Special each week, DuBose was an unheard of -3.0 over those three weeks.

This and that

• For the second time this year, we had dual Asshanders and they both came from the Mountain West Conference. UNLV and San Diego St. managed equally ugly upsets for a -43.5 differential in losses. It was the second Asshander of the season for SDSU.

• The locals finally lost faith in their beloved Arizona Wildcats just in time to get burned. Rival Arizona St. was the college Bandwagon pick, but the Wildcats shocked the world by rolling the Sun Devils 56-35 by rushing for a school-record 511 yards.

• It was a toss-up between Washington-Colorado and Wisconsin-Penn St. for this week's Pigskin Special. But the Pac-12 Championship is on Friday night which put us on the Big 10 title game for the Special.

• The last time Wisconsin was in the Big 10 championship game it set the all-time Asshander in a 59-0 loss to Ohio St. as a 4-point favorite. This time they're favored by only 2.

• With bowl games being announced on Sunday, it's time to remind you that the Dirty Dozen Bowl Pool will be up and running again in a few weeks. Keep and eye out for it here.
