Final Week of ViewFromVegas NCAA Contest as we crown champion

zorba62 has been our leader most of the season and he's closing in on the title, though two contestants (Joey the Wise and phatman) are still mathematically alive to catch him and force a tiebreaker next week during Championship Weekend! Congrats to all of our top contenders on a fine season, including Jlbowls2 who is technically in second place right now but doesn't have enough plays left to catch Zorba:

Congrats to zorba62 as our ViewFromVegas NCAA Contest Champion...I believe he clinched when the Big Ten losses by Maryland and Wisconsin went final to eliminate Joey the Wise and phatman from being able to catch him, but he pretty much assured himself of the title with a very solid season (55-28, 66.3% going into final play) and finishing strong down the stretch, including solid 4-2 so far this weekend to keep his cushion.

zorba62 wins 2 nights at the Westgate plus dinner for 2 with yours truly on his next visit to Vegas (and this reminds me I still owe him a ViewFromVegas shirt from his weekly win earlier this season

Congrats to all our weekly winners as well...and we'll recap this again with the weekly results thread next Tuesday along with the NFL contest that is ongoing. GLA

Thanks Dave for hosting,, always good times,, and something to look forward to on Friday nights!! Congrats to Zorba for winning!! Way to finish Zorba,,, always hard to find games that would allow to move up in the standings,, and obviously I did not do a very good job!!

Congrats Zorba!!! I have said for a few years now that this CFB contest is one of the toughest in all of sports. When you have a limited card each week, it really makes you look at games, that maybe weren't on your radar. So to hit at an almost 67% clip is really impressive!

Great job Zorba! Raid the mini-bar at the Westgate when you go there, it's on Cotton's account! LMEAO!
