KELLY SUTHERLAND is the winner of the 2005 Bowl-Pundits pool with a record 21 wins against the spread and 905 points, smashing the old marks of 19 and 859.
Oregon State fans always seem to do well in this contest, with the winner and two others in the top-11 after taking three of the top eight places and four of the top ten the last two years.
Stephen Butterfield had the best guess on the total points in the Orange Bowl with 72. Three others had predictions of 70 or more.
Former winners finished 7th (Paul Baisted) and 131st (Clark Olson).
Picking all the underdogs (designated by "DOGS" in the standings) would have resulted in a 49th place finish. Picking all the favorites ("FAVS") finished only 139th. The CONSENSUS picks finished 33rd.
Here are the final standings. All ties are broken by (1) wins and (2) tiebreak number.
