1. 20 people have an unblemished ballot with the maximum possible (right now) score of 15 points - they all picked Florida beating Kentucky OR Hawaii beating a P12 team (1 point), an FCS school beating a Power 5 (5 points, thanks Georgia Tech), and Army covering a 17.5 point spread (9 points).
2. 93 other people have a ballot with all of those points but with at least one miss in some other category.
3. One player has seen five of their eight picks go up in flames, with no picks winning yet. Marsumenix missed on El Assico giving us more than 45 points, Kentucky beating UF, Auburn starting 0-4 against P5 teams, USC starting 0-3, and Army beating Michigan. (Marsumenix did not have Army covering the spread despite selecting that last one. Life is full of mysteries.)
