MRI2006: Week 8 - Back and Better than Ever

January 15, 2007  |  By Benjamin Miraski

Ok, not so much better than ever, but still back. I apologize for the lapse in posting. Sometimes, the job that pays the bills overcomes the job that I enjoy doing late at night over beers and with a television shouting Dick Vitale at me.

Slowly catching up, but as you know, basketball brings out the Tournament Projects starting with Week #9, which means that I am slightly behind schedule there. Look for updates as I have them. I guarantee that by the midway point of February, I will be caught up and bringing you the knowledge to help you win your office pool.

And with that, check out all the rankings from Week 8 of the MRI.

And Now the Rankings
