Week 10 of the Advocate News football contest saw most contestants within one or two correct predictions from the top three, as predicting college wins again proved difficult.
The tie-breaker score was 49, the total number of points in Iowa’s 27-22 win over Minnesota.
Cindy Austin of Wilton won first place and $25 this week, missing three games and guessing 48 for the tie-breaker.
Dave Fratzke of Wilton won second place and $15 this week, missing three games and guessing 38 for the tie-breaker.
Auston Hannes of Wilton won third place and $10 this week, missing four games and having a tie-breaker prediction of 50.
This week’s scores included: Michigan 21, Penn State 17; Baylor 27, Oklahoma 14; Mississippi State 43, Auburn 34; Ohio State 59, Purdue 31; Iowa 27, Minnesota 22; Ole Miss 29, Texas A&M 19; Wake Forest 45, NC State 42; Notre Dame 28, Virginia 3; San Diego State 23, Nevada 21; SMU 55, UCF 28; Texas Tech 41, Iowa State 38; Florida State 31, Miami 28; Arkansas 16, LSU 13.
