KELLY SUTHERLAND is the winner of the 2007 Pac-10 Pigskin Pundits Pool by 82 points, the largest winning margin in the history of the contest. He is also a two-time winner of the Bowl-Pundits Pool and is the most recent inductee in the Contest Hall of Fame. However, until his 20th place last year, he went six years finishing no higher than 96th.

The runner-up was perennial bridesmaid, Shawna Nomura, with her third second place finish (two football, one basketball).

Joe Pundit, the consensus picks, finished 20th after finishing 66th last year.

An example of the importance of accurate score predictions is that a 54-22 record placed as high as 7th, while another 54-22 record was 139th.

Sean Jensen , Charles Demartini, Brian Birgen, Matt Broback and NJ Trojan were the winners of the Bowl Predictions , correctly predicting the bowl outcomes of all ten conference teams.

Benjamin Gilmore had the most games picking the winner and exact margin, seven. There were 37 picks of the exact score, with duckmoney having two.

The Award for Continued Excellence goes to Wally McCormick (16th in 2005, 33rd in 2006 and 19th in 2007) and Kyle Doyel (31st, 34th, 12th). Also, with two consecutive top-30 finshes, Gino B (1st, 24th), Patrick Thrapp (10th, 29th) and Jim Halbrook (6th, 21st).

Biggest improvements were made by Rick Kemp (249th to 7th), J Betts (#217 to #17) Brian Dick (247th to 48th) and Kevin Brager (#159 to #4).

Entrants with big drops included DAllgower (12th to 185th), and Dennis Larson (24th to 171st).
