Christmas Day 2025

 Good morning! Hopefully, you are awaking to good food, presents and a peaceful Christmas morning. I know, I know, you are wondering where my daily blog posts have been. Unfortunately, I am busier than ever so I really needed the last few days to unplug from the world and concentrate on family. We will be traveling soon too, so blog posts will be limited this year.

So let's talk some football briefly. If you check the standings you will see that we have done an incredible job of picking winners this year. I've never seen so many of us above .500. There are two exceptions. One being our defending champion who is struggling to say the least. Not to mention his brother who is even in worse shape at the moment. 

But I bury the lead. I don't think in all my years of monitoring and running the pool that I've ever seen as incredible a start as Kathy has had this year. Ten victories in a row! She is undefeated. Last night, very late because I went to bed with Cal comfortably ahead, Hawai'i scored the winning touchdown with 10 seconds left to cap a 21 point comeback. Kathy, like most of you, picked Hawai'i and remained undefeated by that slim margin.

 You would think Kathy would be way ahead in the pool, but Alex and Margaret (our most consistent year-to-year performer) are hot on her tail with only one defeat a piece. Just incredible to see their ability to stay up at the top with Kathy.

However, we have tons of picking to do. I think it's time for me to start asking for your CFP Quarterfinal Picks. I'll be sending out an email later today to ask you for those. Merry Christmas everybody. Today belongs to the NFL and the NBA. Tomorrow the college football starts up again with three bowl games and then Saturday is a HUGE football fest with like one million bowls.
