Heh.... I managed to go 11-0 and I only do this usually week 1 just to see if I still got it for CUSA play. Went 9-2 in AAC games. FU Temple. The other one I could have bought could have happened.

Not sure if I want to retire undefeated or try again next week--but its tough to keep with two full conference sets of games.
