**By End of Day on Wednesday, 10/9 if you would like to swap out 3 of your teams for new teams going forward, please e-mail me your changes**
Below are the standings through week 6. Young and B.I. are STILL holding the top 2 spots, and Joel continues to close the gap, holding on to 3rd place now. Technically, Joel and I are tied for 3rd and Curt is only 1 point away from making it a 3 way tie for 3rd place. It's a very tight race in the top 5 spots.
We are getting close to the halfway point of the season, but so many points are still going to be awarded for conference champions and bowl games. No one is out of this yet, not even Ron or Jack.
If you select the "Extended Standings" tab on the spreadsheet and scroll over, you can see your highest and lowest performing teams. This will help when trying to decide which teams you want to drop/pick up. It also gives you an idea of how valuable teams that score 50+ points and shut others out are.
Florida State, Ohio State, and Oregon have been some of the best performing teams. Tulsa and USC have been pretty much useless!
I have attached the spreadsheet with the full standings, but you can also see more frequent updates using this link. The full standings will show who is leading in each of the other categories that have payouts at the end of the year, plus the expanded standings sections will show you how your specific teams are doing.

Current Standings
Remember, half of the pool money pays out for winning specific categories, so even if you are not in 1st/2nd overall, you will still be paid out for winning the 4 categories below by season end.
Curt is winning the Non Conference Bonus, while Young is winning the conference points category and Shut Outs + 50 Pts Total.
I may not be able to update the standings for next week, or it will end up being so late in the week that I send them out Wednesday night. Either way, after next week I'll get back to sending the standings out right away. I will also send out an update to everyone so you can see which teams everyone exchanged out and confirm yours is accurate.
Good luck going into week 7!
