I was pleasantly surprised to see Texas score 37. No way was Sark going to show Saban anything - and he didn't. Now let's hope he did and the "real offense" shows up Saturday.

Militaryhorn, I missed the rules. I understand through the MOV column (the margin of victory), but how are the final two columns calculated? How much is picking the correct winner worth?

The Total Points is calculated like this: Point Dif + (predicted Total Score - Actual Score) + (predicted MOV - Actual MOV) = Total Points. I can post the excel spreadsheet cell information for this if you want. A perfect prediction will yield 0 points for Total Points and the goal is to have the lowest point total.

You get 10 points for 1st place for the week, 9 points for 2nd and so on. If more than one person has the same Total Points, then they get the same amount of points based on what place they are in. Look to the far left under Rank column and you will see to what i am referring to.

Then a point is added for picking the correct winner. So, if you achieve 1st place and pick the correct winner then you receive 11 points for the week, which is the max points you can receive for the week.

Did this answer your question?

Picking the winner is separate from the Total Points. That is only figured in for how many points you receive for the week. It allows you to get points without placing in the top 10.

The goal is to get the fewest points possible in the second to last column “Total Points” and the most points in the last column “Weekly Pt. Total”. Assuming there are 14 games in a season (conference championship game and bowl game), then the max score possible in the last column (Weekly Pt. Total) is 154 points (14x11): 14 weeks of being in 1st place.

In theory, yes. But if you can get a perfect score every week then you need to be planted in Vegas.
 
Be it my high school transcript, college transcript, or the Hornfans weekly game prediction results, my comfort zone and permanent home is in the 4th percentile.
