CFB Pick'em News: The Leaders Have Company, and TedStickles Has Problems

We're past the midway point of the 2026 College FB Pick'em contest and Some Random Dude and JoyBoyNika sit atop the leaderboard with records of 68-31 (68.69%). There are 32 users within five games of the leaders, so it is still wide open.

GeauxRoar sits one game back, while Techdave sits two games back. Mikedatyger leads a slew of users three games back. Cashman leads a horde of users four games back. And powerlineman leads a gaggle of users five games back. Don't even count out atllsu, who leads a throng of users six games back.

Last year's champion HarryBalzack is stunningly in 1135th place. Two-time champion TedStickles has been drooping in the standings recently, falling all the way to 463rd place. Crowd-favorite GoldenBoy continues to disappoint, stuck in 563rd place overall. And the controversial Lester Earl did not play.

As we enter the back half of the season, there is a quote from Socrates for those chasing the leaders: "When you stop believing, hope fades away. Always believe in yourself and hope for a better future." Plenty of time for many of you to make your move.

Here is the Week 8 slate:
LSU at Auburn
Tennessee at South Carolina
Ole Miss at Texas
Oklahoma at Mississippi St.
Indiana at Michigan
Iowa at Minnesota
Southern Cal at Wisconsin
BYU at UCF
Houston at Utah
Kansas State at Arizona State
Baylor at Kansas
Virginia Tech at Clemson
UTSA at Tulane
North Texas at Navy

Good luck to everyone...
