KENNY LEHMERis the winner of the 2001 Pac-10 Pigskin Pundits Pool. Kenny lost only 5 points from his final regular season margin of 37 points by correctly predicting the bowl outcomes of five Pac-10 teams. His winning 16.1 point per game average was somewhat lower than previous years.

Kenny, who finished 78th and 81st the last two years, is a 1983 UCLA grad in Econ and is currently sales manager of Lexus in Carlsbad, CA. (Mention the contest to him and I'm sure he will give you a good deal.) His winning strategy included correctly thinking that Oregon State was overrated.

T.J. Gaynor had the best w-l percentage of 80% (52-13), which is the highest in recent years, but his score predictions limited him to a 29th place finish. It's not enough to know who will win each game, but by how much. An example of the importance of accurate scores is clearly demonstrated by Cary Goodman, who finished 3rd with a record of 45-20 and Bowl-Pundits Pool winner Mel Avanzado, who finished 179th with the same record.

Korri Anderson and Matt Brobeck had the best Bowl Predictions , correctly predicting the bowl outcomes of eight of the ten conference teams.

Mitch Moberg and KhakiMac had the most exact winner and margin picks, seven, which is 11% of all the games. There were 31 picks of the exact score, with Tom Haire the only one having two.

Special mention goes to J.M. Trancos who has two consecutive top-10 finishes and Charles DeMartini with three consecutive top-20 finishes. Best improvement goes to Tom Haire who went from 171st last year to 10th this year.

Biggest drop goes to last year's Bowl-Pundit winner Paul Baisted, from 52nd to 209th. Also, 1998 Pundit Pool winner Andrew Mayon, from 78th last year to 207th.
