December 31, 2011 Update – 11am

A surprising bowl season so far this year in that the favorites have won 11 of 12 games (compare that to last year when the favorites only won 5 of the first 12 games).  Consequently, there are a lot of good scores in the pool.

The leaders are Bobby Heffner, Tony Chan, and Wayne Remai with 11 out of 12 correct.  But there are plenty of entries right on their heels, including 6 entries with 10 of 12 correct.  Four more games on the docket today.
