The Zultan finished the regular season with a big performance.

The Zultan finished the regular season with a big performance.

After toying with his loyal followers throughout the entire season, the Sports Then and Now Zultan showed his true power in the final week of the “Top The Zultan” regular season.

Recognizing that Les Miles was due for an implosion, he correctly predicted that Mississippi would upset the LSU Tigers. He also bested most challengers by correctly predicting victory for Purdue, Oregon and BYU when many thought otherwise.

For the first time since the opening week of the contest, not a single contestant could beat the 7-3 mark of the Zultan.

After finishing the regular season with a success rate of 72 percent (80 of 111), the Zultan is enjoying a much deserved rest as he prepares for the challenge of the upcoming Bowl season.

Throughout the season, there were a few souls who did manage to “Top the Zultan” at least once.

Below is the list of 36 prognosticators who showed they possess the college football knowledge to compete with the Zultan.

Scott Allen – Destin, FL; Austin – Pella, IA; Craig Bancroft – Coralville, IA (twice); Tanner Battles – Pensacola, FL; Keith Baughman – Fremont, NE; Jason Brown – Hampshire, IL (three); Perry Chappano – Columbus, OH; Jeff Coffey – Columbus, OH; Dale Collins – Landon, SC (twice); David Colvig – Des Moines, IA; Matt DeSmidt – Fort Collins, CO; David Eck – Cedar Falls, IA (four); Craig Fudge – Woodbury, MN; Dan Gallagher – Brainbridge Island, WA; Austin Garner – Mechanicsville, IA; Alex Goedken – Kansas City, KS (twice); Jeff Harmeyer – Iowa City, IA (twice); Jake Humphrey – Iowa City, IA; Monte Klinkenborg – Placerville, CA; James Krejci – Stevensville, MI; Eric Ludwig – Des Moines, IA; Chris Miller – Brownwood, TX; Phillip Murphy – Muscatine, IA; Terry Nelson – Dodgeville, WI; Patrick Nicholson – Des Moines, IA; Virgil Peterson – Dunlap, IA; Bruce Plett – Wilton, IA; Daniel Repp – Albuquerque, NM (three); Rick – Lake Park, FL; Justin Rose – Cedar Falls, IA; Ryan Sparrow – Channahon, IL; Kim Suong – Fort Madison, IA; Ryan Tyas; Mike Vanderver – Howell, MI; Dave Walmsley – Mt.
