Congrats to MikieS -- Winner of tonight's Predict the Score

[Rick Mons]

EDIT: As noted on the original "Predict the Score" thread, I somehow passed over three predictions. Two were for the Gophers (Andy and Gopher1More) so add their names to those who get no points tonight. The third was TubbyTownUSA's pick which was 14 points off the actual score. TTUSA gets one participation point.

Mikie was one of 8 who picked Miami to beat the Gophers and won with his 65-61 prediction (5 points off the actual 63-58 score). Mikie gains 15 points in the standings and has his name added to the Roll Call (below).

Here are the top five places -- only 8 picked the Hurricanes to win:

1st Place: Mikie S (5 pt variance) - 15 points awarded
2nd Place:Jamiche (6 pts off) - 10 points awarded
3rd Place: ulmer (9 pts off) -7 points awarded
4th Place:: Southpaw (11 pts off) - 5 points awarded
5th Place (tie): Charlesbenjamin & tubbyapolis2 (12 pts off) - 3 points awarded
​

Big Play, TubbyTownUSA and UptownMaroon&Gold were more than 12 points off the actual score but receive 1 point for participation.

Finally, here's the list of the <s>38</s> 40 folks who predicted a Gopher win. They score zero -- zip -- nada points: 94Gopher, A-Town Owl, beowultom, BigGopherFan, Blizzard, book, ChemEGopher, Dice, Dr.Don, Figi, Go31, Goldyspop, Gopher In Qatar, Gopher737, Gopherholefan, GophersInIowa, GophersOnTheRise, HardwoodElite, Heber, howeda7, Jike Spingleton, MKE_Gopher, ncgo4, Notorious PLD, Peanutbuttertubbytime, rccola889, Rick Mons, Roy Christensen, Runext07, sandiegopete, Section201, Ski U Mah Gopher, Sota1, Steer53, StewieGopherFan, whogoofed, XMan, Zales04. And Andy and Gopher1More

Predict the Score Standings

will have to wait for tomorrow. It's been a long day and I'm drowsing off reading the board as it is.

I'm curious...how many people have picked the Gophers to win every game so far? I bet it's 95%. Those same people picked the football team to go 12-0 also. Good thing there's no money involved here or we'd have some broke folks....

I don't keep the stats that way and it would be way too much work to try to go back to reconstruct it. I do recall:

• 12 picked Butler to win;
• only one picked Portland to win;
• only two picked the Aggies to win;
• and, only 9 picked the 'Canes tonight

We had a separate "Predict the Season" for Basketball before the season began and IIRC before any suspensions were announced. There were 30 who made predictions and the average tally was 23.2 total games won; 10.7 pre-conference games and 12.5 conference games.

On the football side, there was only one of 97 who picked the Gophers to win all the games. Here's the breakdown on a game-by-game basis for the number of picks for the Gophers to win:

Number/pctge picking Gophers over ….
95 ( 97.9% ) …... Syracuse
92 ( 94.8% ) …... Air Force
20 ( 20.6% ) …... California
73 ( 75.3% ) …... Northwestern
89 ( 91.8% ) …... Wisconsin
94 ( 96.9% ) …... Purdue
. 13 ( 13.4% ) …... Penn State
. 4 ( 4.1% ) …... Ohio State
57 ( 58.8% ) …... Michigan State
64 ( 66.0% ) …... Illinois
97 ( 100.0% ) …... South Dakota State
28 ( 28.9% ) …... Iowa

I haven't checked one set of predictions against the other
