Predict Horns vs WVU Moutaineers

[Giovanni Jones]

I predict that Nebraska-tOSU will go well past 2:30 pm on Fox. Sucks for those of us watching on TV.

[Bayerithe]

pretty sure i said WVU by 7. but ... we're probably not winning a game until kansas

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Well, I was correct on the number of points scored by Texas, at least

 

[WorsterMan]

I too predicted the Horns would score 41...

 

[Giovanni Jones]

I too predicted the Horns would score 41...

And so did Sangre

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Yep. I was feeling good right up until the very end.

 

[dukesteer]

Hmmm, based on the math I learned while attending The University of Texas (at the time, known as a football school), a differential of three points is less than a differential of seven points...

(WV 38 - UT 35)

What did I miss?

I was looking at which score was closest to the final while picking the winner. Should it be tallied another way?

 

[Statalyzer]

There's no one right answer on how to balance margin of victory vs individual points scored for something like this.

 

[Dionysus]

I guess what @dukesteer is pointing out is calling the spread rather than closest to final score.

So, after consulting with the Hornfans Prediction Contest Committee we are compelled to award co-champ status to dukesteer and MudHorn. Revel in the glory of your accomplishments, gentlemen.

 

[dukesteer]

VINDICATED!

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

Good pickin, MudHorn and dukesteer.

 

[MudHorn]

Winning a weekly prediction (co-)title is bittersweet when you picked a loss.

But anyway ->
