Stopping the patting of my own back briefly to type this post, I point out that I have vaulted into the top ten. This is even more impressive when you realize that I am handicapped by having failed to make a prediction for one game. 42 to 8 in two weeks. Maybe now my kids will respect me.

So Mike, what is the formula? For example, both Goatnapper and I missed the score by a combined total of 3 points. I get 9 points and he gets 22 points? How is getting ToP right factoring in that much? How are the points figured?

Lame. How did I not get any points for the New Mexico game? I at least got the winning team right.

The fix is in. I got one prediction spot on, and I received no points whatsoever.

Mike seems to be of the opinion in that I'm junior management that I'm not allowed to win, so he manipulates my prognostications to ensure I lose.

Let's just be clear about what's going on, that's all. Call it the "meaningless statistic prediction contest". "Oh, and if you get close to the score, we may give you a few extra bonus points."

Mike, Goat got a bigger piece than me!!

It's the difference between the scores for each time and the difference in ToP times 1.5. This was announced at the beginning.

If you don't follow the rules you aren't scored. That is you have to provide all data.
