BS Predictorama Rankings

We're starting a new feature here at BS central. To gauge our predicting performance, we will be awarding points based on the following criteria. At the end of the year, the winner gets Joe Tillers mustache, which he conveniently left behind in his cereal.

1 point for closest to Purdue score
1 point for closest to opponent score
1 point for closest to total score
1 point for picking the correct winning team

Since we're already complete with week 3 and we're just now starting, here are the retroactive scores for the first three weeks.

In week 1, the following predictions were made

J Money says:
Purdue 51
Northern Colorado 10

Tim says:
Purdue 42
Northern Colorado 7

Boilerdowd says:
Purdue 56
Northern Colorado 13

The actual score was Purdue 42 - Northern Colorado 10

That means that Tim gets 1 point for closest to Purdue's score, closest to overall score, and picking the correct winning team. J Money gets a point for closest to opponent score and picking the correct winning team. Boilerdowd gets a point for showing up. Err, picking the correct winning team.

That brings the week one totals to

Tim : 3
J Money : 2
Boilerdowd : 1



In week 2, the predictions were

J Money says:
Boilers 34
Ducks 31

Boilerdowd says:
Ducks 35
Boilers 30

Tim says:
Ducks 38
Boilers 20

The final painful score was Oregon 32 - Purdue 26

That gives Tim a point for picking closest to overall score, and picking the Ducks against his wishes. Boilerdowd also picking the Ducks was the closest to Purdues score. J Money had the closest prediction of Oregons points. That leaves the point totals for week 2 at

Tim : 2
Boilerdowd : 2
J Money : 1


The predictions for week three were

Tim says:
Purdue 30
CMU 17

J Money says:
Purdue 45
CMU 35

Boilerdowd says:
Purdue 41
CMU 24

The actual score was Purdue 32 - CMU 25, leaving Tim with a point for picking Purdue, and a point for being closest to Purdues score. Boilerdowd was closest to the total score, closet to CMUs score, and picked up a point for closest to total score. J Money picked up one measly point for picking Purdue.

The scoring for week 3 is

Boilerdowd : 3
Tim : 2
J Money : 1


So the tally for the season so far is

Tim : 7
Boilerdowd : 6
J Money : 4

As you can see, I have a dominating insurmountable 1 point lead over Boilerdowd. Hooray for me.
