First I would like to say what a great idea I think it is to track these cappers. I've always looked for this but didn't think I would find it considering the time it takes. Plus I don't put much stock in the websites that claim that they track these cappers. We really need to keep up with this, i think it could be very profitable. Below I have inlcuded something that I think would make it fun to keep track of these guys. I had many ideas like having a winner (the top capper) each week,and then showing the losing capper also. But I think this idea is better. I've ranked the Top 25 Cappers from the work that icethekicker and greek have done(great job). To be included the capper must have at least 10 picks. I will try to keep track of it every week, checking which cappers move up in the poll and which cappers move down. At the end of the season we will crown the Capper National Champion (Haven't come up with a good name for it yet). Let's see who the 2009 Champion will be. If we can keep up with this I think it could catch on. Again everyone can check each others work for errors,etc, and any more ideas to improve it are welcome.
p.s. This is just for College Picks. We could also have a Top 10 or so of the worst cappers. This week they are to be found under the heading- others receiving votes. Anything I have forgot to mention I will say in following posts, as I know many new ideas and things I have forgotten to mention will come up.

I also have the total number of games that each capper picked and their winning percentage. Unfortunately I wasn't able to copy and past my document on here. I tried uploading it also but I didn't work. Hopefully in the following weeks I will have figured that out and they will be included also. Quickly though the Best College Football Capper as of Week 2 is The Boss with 12 Picks and an 83.3% winning percentage. The Worst College Football Capper as of Week 2 is PowerPlay Wins with 18 Picks and a 27.8% winning percentage. Ranks 1 through 5 are in the 80% range. Ranks 6 through 8 are in the 70% range. Ranks 9 through 13 are in the 60% range. Ranks 14 through 25 are in the 50% range. Ranks 26 to 32 are in the 40% Range. Ranks 33 through 38 are in the 30% range. And Ranks 39 through 40 are in the 20% range.
