The No-Affiliation Conference will be shared for the second consecutive week with Juice, Chris, Shania and MyPrerogative going 5/6 this week.

The SEC Division Shield is also shared for another week with HoHo, Juice, Chris and MyPrerogative going 5/6 in this conference.

Three is a the magic number - and the Conference USA this week also results in a tie which might have a lot to do with two games being postponed as HoHo, Blaze and MyPrerogative went 2/3.

We have our first outright winner this week although our winner didn't go flawless as win the shield by getting 4/5 correct - congratulations to MyPrerogative for winning the Big 12 Conference Division Shield this week.

The ACC would be tied this week to become the fourth division shield tie this week with pack leader Juice and Chris tied at 4/5 apiece having to share the prize this week.

The Big Ten would continue the trend of week nine by becoming the fifth division shield to tied this week -with Chris and MyPrerogative each getting 5/6 correct. Although, the question will always remain as whether MyPrerogative could have gone flawless if they had made their predictions before the Minnesota/Maryland game had started.

The American Athletic Conference would also be a tie this week - although it would see both Chris and Juice going flawless with 5/5 picks correct. However, because they are tied neither is eligible to a bonus point.

This week would see HoHo and Blaze falling off the pace slightly, whilst Juice and Shania will no doubt be left wondering on when Chris is next going to slip up. However - this week, which was a week of ties we see only the second tie in nine weeks as Chris and MyPrerogative share the spoilers having gone 28-8. However, the question will always remain. What would of happened if MyPrerogative had got their predictions in earlier?​

Week Nine	Wins	Losses	PCT
Chris	28	8	0.777
MyPrerogative	28	8	0.777
Juice	26	10	0.722
Shania Twain	24	12	0.666
HoHo Kimura	20	16	0.555
Blaze	19	17	0.527

Gaps are visibly starting to present themselves in the the overall standing after nine weeks of action, with Blaze now dropping to six wins behind HoHo although the gap would be greater if neither weren't currently in possession of Divisional Shield Bonus Point. Meanwhile, MyPrerogative has started to show means of recovery after suffering from the 'Half of Last' rule a number of weeks ago as is now within touching distance of Shania.

However, Chris continues to extend his lead over the rest of the group and now holds a six win lead over Juice. Can he hold onto his commanding lead or will he slip before he can claim glory?​

Overall Standings	Wins	Losses	Division Shield Bonus Points	PCT
Christian Cage	140	52	0	0.729
Juice	134	58	0	0.679
Shania Twain	125	67	1	0.656
MyPrerogative	124	68	0	0.645
HoHo Kimura	121	71	2	0.640
Blaze	114	78	1	0.598
