JACK C is the winner of the 2003 Pac-10 Pigskin Pundits Pool. Jack, whose highest previous finish in three tries was 83rd, won by just 3 points over Jeff D, who led the contest most of the season. He needed USC's Rose Bowl victory to clinch the title.

Jack is a Santa Clara grad who grew up in Portland as an Oregon fan. He used the same strategy as in previous years, but says he was just luckier this time.

Steve Payan and Erik Mandelblatt had the best winning percentage, 75.6% (59-19).

An example of the importance of accurate score predictions is clearly demonstrated by Nick Singer, who finished 127th with a record of 56-22, which was just two games back of Jack C.

Sixteen entrants had the best Bowl Predictions , correctly predicting the bowl outcomes of seven of the ten conference teams.

Factz and Matt Kozacek had the most exact winner and margin picks, seven, which is 9% of all the games. There were 47 picks of the exact score, with Michael Brace and Marc Holley having two each.

Special mention goes to Dave Sachs (14th last year,14th this year) Charles DeMartini (15th,32nd), Patrick Thrapp (36th-25th) and Kyle Doyel (41st,10th) with two consecutive top-50 finishes.

Biggest improvements were made by Michael Brace (#219 to #29), and Matt Kozacek (#222 to #70).

The biggest drops were ColMukMuk (#13 to #243) and Brian Dick (#1 to #229).

Ben Browdy, who had six top-40 finishes in the last eight years and none lower than 65th, finished 205th this year. (It's Karl Dorrell's fault.)
