Official Confidence Prediction Contest Thread for 2023 Season...Call Your Shot!

Prediction Contest Manager
Only four Saturdays left until the season begins and with that comes people who think they know how the season is going to go. If you are such an expert in predicting our season then put your money where you mouth is. Here are the official rules and I hope we all have a great season.

There are 12 games and each game you assign a numeric value between 1 and 12 since there are at least 12 games that we play. You can only use the number one time. If you are correct on how you predict the outcome of that game you will receive the point value that YOU assigned for it. All submissions must be submitted before our first game of the season and every game must be predicted, this is not a weekly entry contest.

Below is the schedule and you pick whether Texas wins or loses that matchup and assign a point value. There will be extra points to earn if you pick the team they play in a Big XII Championship game.

Here is the schedule:

Texas vs. Rice (Home) Sept 2nd
Texas vs. Alabama (Away) Sept 9th
Texas vs. Wyoming (Home) Sept 16th
Texas vs. Baylor (Away) Sept 23rd
Texas vs. Kansas (Home) Sept 30th
Texas vs. OU (Dallas...Texas Home Team) Oct 7th
Bye Week Oct 14th
Texas vs. Houston (Away) Oct 21st
Texas vs. BYU (Home) Oct 28th
Texas vs. Kansas St (Home) Nov 4th
Texas vs. TCU (Away) Nov 11th
Texas vs. Iowa St (Away) Nov 18th
Texas vs. Texas Tech (Home) Nov 24th
Texas vs ??? (Arlington) Dec 2nd

Here is an example of how to submit your entry:

Texas vs. Rice (Home) Sept 2nd
Texas Win 12

Texas vs. Alabama (Away) Sept 9th
Texas Loss 11

Texas vs. Wyoming (Home) Sept 16th
Texas Win 10

Texas vs. Baylor (Away) Sept 23rd
Texas Win 9

Texas vs. Kansas (Home) Sept 30th
Texas Win 8

Texas vs. OU (Dallas...Texas Home Team) Oct 7th
Texas Win 7

Bye Week Oct 14th

Texas vs. Houston (Away) Oct 21st
Texas Win 6

Texas vs. BYU (Home) Oct 28th
Texas Loss 5

Texas vs. Kansas St (Home) Nov 4th
Texas Win 4

Texas vs. TCU (Away) Nov 11th
Texas Win 3

Texas vs. Iowa St (Away) Nov 18th
Texas Win 2

Texas vs. Texas Tech (Home) Nov 24th
Texas Win 1

Texas vs ??? (Arlington) Dec 2nd
Texas vs. Baylor
Texas Win

The Big XII Championship game will award 13 pts for predicting the correct outcome you submitted (if you pick a win and Texas wins you get 13 pts) and if you have the correct team that Texas plays in the championship game you will get an additional 20 pts.

Another way to earn extra points is to correctly predict their overall regular season record, which will be based on your game predictions, and will receive 15 points. In my example above I predicted a 10-2 regular season, if Texas ends up having a 10-2 season I will get 15 extra points. It will not matter which games they win or lose as long as the record reflects your overall record...you get the bonus points.

The max points you can achieve is 126 points and it is earned by predicting every game correctly and picking the Big XII Championship opponent correctly and predicting how Texas does in this game correctly.

Here is a link to the final results from last season: 2022 Confidence Prediction Contest

Good Luck to all those who enter and in the end may Texas have a great season...I love this time of year!

So you can only use each number once? Is 12 like your lock pick? And a 1 like your lowest confidence pick?

Yes, you can only use the number once. This is definitely a Confidence pick for each game. Example: If you feel like we are without a doubt going to win against Rice, then assign the value of that game a 12. After that, you cannot use the number 12 again for the remaining games.

@IvanDiabloHorn You need to include the Big XII Championship Game. Pick who you think Texas will play and how Texas will do, pick if they will win or lose. No number assigned to the championship game just who Texas plays and how they will fair.

You did not say how Texas would fair in each game, i.e. Texas Win or Texas Loss, except in the Championship game. Unless you putting Texas below the game to indicate that Texas wins that game.

you didn't assign a point system to each game.
assign 1-12 for each, using numbers one time each. For instance, if you are absolutely certain that we are going to beat rice, give it the number 12. the points add up to determine a winner.

You predicted how much Texas would win or lose by instead of assigning a numeric value for each game between 1 and 12. You can only use the number once for each game. This is a confidence prediction, meaning how strongly you think that the outcome is going to happen. The more confident you are in Texas winning a particular game the higher your value might be, i.e. Texas vs. Rice: Texas wins 12(this number represents how confident you are in this prediction).
