The Following are the results. Please review and if no one complains,
corrects, or otherwise amends the results, they'll become final. The
judge will decide the merits of the ties.

Right now, due to the logjam at the bottom, there will be no booby prize,
although there's easily enough local crap about the Tar Heels to choke 4
people.

38.3Hope you guys weren't using real money on these picks...NAC::G_WAUGAMANThu Jan 03 1991 18:2412
    
    The lesson: don't pick the heavy favorite in minor bowl games that 
    don't mean that much to the teams that always go.  Those teams not 
    only didn't cover in most instances, but got beat outright by the 
    lesser-known teams, who were hungrier.
    
    I think this was reflected by the fact that only 5 out of 40
    contestants finished over .500, a remarkably poor showing by SPORTS'
    usually reliable prognosticators...

38.4I've got to get my own 900 number!WORDY::NAZZAROA Johnny Most fan for 30 yearsThu Jan 03 1991 18:536
    THank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you.  I appreciate all your
    warm accolades.  My secret, you ask?  Extract the note, look at
    each game, and pick 'em as you read 'em.  I spent maybe 5 minutes
    tops on my picks, and that was mostly extracting the note!

38.7Not the result you were all expectingSHALOT::HUNTShoeless Joe Belongs In CooperstownFri Jan 04 1991 13:494
    I may not have done very well over all but I'm tickled to death that
    all those who picked Tennessee over Virginia lost that particular bet.

38.9Virginia least chosenHBAHBA::HAASBig Smile at the DrivethroughFri Jan 04 1991 15:107
12 (out of 41) picked Air Force or some variation on that spelling.

Only 3 picked Virginia: FRSBEE::BROOKS, RIPPLE::DEVLIN_JO, SHALOT::HUNT 

FWIW, Nazz had Ohio St and Tennessee and still won.
