    I don't understand the scoring. FOr example, how is it that scratch and Senioritis are tied at 9th, with different predictions?

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    We asked to be placed next to each other so we could spoon.

    They're actually the same. Scratch was off each team's final score by 4 (Utah) and 1 (Michigan) points. So was Senioritis, he just had the teams reversed. He was off one point on Utah's final score, but 4 points on Michigan's.

    9 Scratch 20 16 91.75
    9 Senioritis 23 13 91.75

    So you get 34 points for picking the winning team (all or nothing). You get 33 points for picking the correct Utah score (percentage available) and 33 points for picking the opponents score (percentage available). For a total of 100 points each game. I have it set up so that for every point you are off from the actual score is a reduction of 5% of the 33 points available. So if you are more than 20 points off from the actual score then you would get zero points.

    Scratch got 34 points for picking the right winning team. Scratch's prediction was four points off from the Utah score so his points (33 possible) were reduced to 80% or 26.4. Scratch was only one point off on Michigan's score so he got 95% of the possible points (33) or 31.35. So his total came to 91.75.

    Senioritis also picked the correct winning team and received 34 points. His prediction for Utah was only off by one point, so his points (33 possible) were reduced by 5% to 31.35. His Michigan score was off by four so his points (33 possible) were reduced by 20% to 26.4. So his total came to 91.75.

    I am open to change the scoring to anything you want. If we want to drop the points for picking the winning team and just have it straight score picking that is fine with me. Giving points for picking the winning team helps when the game goes into overtime or when there is an in game injury (opposing QB, Center, etc get hurt in the game, so the points get schewed, we score a lot more or they score a lot less).

    This is fine with me. I was just wondering. I just know that U-Ute is cheating, somehow.
