Nancy Chappell, an Associated Press photographer based in Peru, is the class of this week's field with a difference of only 3.00. There are other overseas entries in the PrediXn Derby, but unlike Nancy, most of them have actually seen a Florida State football game at some time or another. PrediXn Derby veterans Joe Ptak (6.08), John Thurber (7.00), Scott Hill (7.07), and Dave Antonoff (7.21) formed the rest of the top five. I, uh, headed south in this one.

How did you compare to your favorite cigar chompin', bourbon swillin' sportwriters?

Next, the season's conclusion. UF comes to Tallahassee. Hundreds of Florida State students are camping -- literally CAMPING, with tents -- in front of the ticket office all weekend to make sure they get tickets for this one. The early predixns are:

To include your predixn of the final score of Florida State vs. UF in the predixn derby, send it to:

HWILLS@FREENET.TLH.FL.US

Please put something like "FSU vs. UFL" in the subject line so I won't mistake your predixn for "Urgent Investment Advice." Send it early enough so that it gets to me before kickoff on Saturday, November 21. All entries received before that deadline will be recorded to be scored and ranked following the outcome of the Game. Results will be posted to alt.sports.football.college.fsu-seminoles , and will eventually be archived at the Seminole Football PrediXn Derby web site, http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Arena/5177/.

Good luck!

P.S.: Win one for Weinke.
