Updates for October 20, 2006

The picks and power rankings spreadsheets are done.
The picks file lacks Andy Nesbitt's and The Simpsons' picks. I guess that they will be out soon.

I had to remove the SportsColumn Power Rankings from both spreadsheets. They are not posted on the site any more, and I have not gotten them for the past 4 weeks. Sorry.

Everything else is the same.

Updates for October 7, 2006

The picks and rankings files have been updated and uploaded.

I added Aikman's week 1, 2 and 4 rankings. I didnt think they came out until next week, as experienced with previous seasons. I added them in three columns: offense, defense and averaged. They have been added into the picks file accordingly.

I added Mike Greenfield's ranking based picks which start this week and go until the end of the season. Both ATS and SU.

Edit: By the way, you may notice that week 5 is all colored. My brother taught me a neat little trick which will save me like 20 minutes. Its called conditional formatting and it makes all the coloring automatic, however the only downside is that you have to see colors even before the games occur.
