Weekly Fantasy Rankings
#1- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.306
#2- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- 1.153
#3- Al Mighty (Texas)- .959
For the 2nd straight week, Al Mighty, who has pretty much dominated the weekly fantasy contests, finishes last. But that's not because he had a bad week, it's because David and Rob had great weeks. David was lights out this week, getting more fantasy points than minutes in both of his teams games this week. Rob got extra points from the free throw line, making it very close. Al, even with his POTG award against Oklahoma State, just couldn't overtake the other 2. Foul trouble continues to harm him. But, he can take solace in knowing that he has the only 2 POTG awards for our players so far.
Also guys, if anybody is reading this, feel free to check my work. I'm prone to making mistakes and getting figures wrong, so if you see something, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks.

There seems to be some kind of screw-up that takes place every so often where, even though there are definite changes in the top 25 from the previous week, it doesn't reflect in the polls, and has all the numbers in the Prv column the same as the teams. The best example is in this weeks poll, Stanford is ranked #25. In the Prv column, it says #25, but we know that last weeks poll had Stanford ranked at #23. Not sure why this happens, it's certainly not a dealbreaker, just tough to see sometimes.
