OFFENSE:
This is the total number of points that the player's picks have scored throughout the weeks.
The combined picks that have scored the most total points are acknowledged here.
[2]
DEFENSE:
This is the total number of points that the player's picks have allowed throughout the weeks.
The combined picks that have given up the least total points are acknowledged here.
[3]
MARGIN OF VICTORY:
This is the difference between the number of points scored and the number of points allowed by a player's combined picks.
The players that have the highest  margin of victory are acknowledged here.
[4]
CLOSEST CALLS:
This is the same as Margin of Victory, except the players that have lowest margin of victory (i.e.: the "closest calls") are acknowledged here.
[5]
Power Rankings:
This is our totally unscientific way of telling who has the best remaining picks left (ie: who has picked the worst teams so far).
The picked teams are given a number 1 for the top ranked team down to 32 for the lowest ranked team.
The rankings are taken from the weekly Power Rankings on the ESPN site (again, unscientific).
A higher Power Rankings total (add up all your picks), should, in theory, mean a better remaining pool of teams to pick from.
