This references the season game-by-game predictions for the Gopher's football season -- see this thread for the original predictions.
Only two GopherHolers picked Syracuse to win ... so there's a 95-way tie for 1st place -- each has one point for the first win:
If your name is missing from the above list OR if this is in error, please send me a PM and I'll make the necessary adjustments.
Finally, AeroGopher had suggested that we give bonus points to those who have unbroken "strings" of wins. I think I've figured out a way to administer that without going crazy (well, crazier) so:
Thus, if you predict the first two games correctly but not the third, you'll have 4 points. (1 point for each correct prediction plus two bonus points)
If you predict the first three games correctly, you'll have 8 points. (1 point for each correct prediction plus two bonus points for the unbroken string of two in week two and three bonus points for the unbroken string in week three)
Once the string of correct predictions is broken because you predicted the wrong team to win, you won't earn bonus points until you have another unbroken string of two or more games.
Hope this process is clear and that I can borrow the Cray computer if my PC gets overwhelmed. BTW, if you don't like this method, send a PM to AeroGopher.

Finally, AeroGopher had suggested that we give bonus points to those who have unbroken "strings" of wins. I think I've figured out a way to administer that without going crazy (well, crazier) so:
If you have a string of two predictions that are correct, you'll get a bonus of 2 points (plus the one point for each correct prediction);
A string of three correct predictions, the bonus will be 3 points
A string of four correct predictions, the bonus will be 4 points
And so on.
A string of three correct predictions, the bonus will be 3 points
A string of four correct predictions, the bonus will be 4 points
And so on.
Thus, if you predict the first two games correctly but not the third, you'll have 4 points. (1 point for each correct prediction plus two bonus points)
If you predict the first three games correctly, you'll have 8 points. (1 point for each correct prediction plus two bonus points for the unbroken string of two in week two and three bonus points for the unbroken string in week three)
