Congrats to Section201 -- yesterday's Predict the Score winner

[Rick Mons]

Section 201 wins the Predict the Score competition with his/her 66-59 prediction, 8 points off the actual score.

Ironically, there were two who predicted a Gopher win but were really, really close in terms of variance. Unfortunately, to win this competition, you have to first pick which team wins.

Anyway, here's the top five places:

1st Place: Section201 (8 pt variance) - 15 points awarded
2nd Place: Wait!What? (9 pts off) - 10 points awarded
3rd Place (tie): Anderson8284 & Mikie S (12 pts off) -7 points awarded
4th Place: Southpaw (13 pts off) - 5 points awarded
5th Place: (tie): Big Play, MKE_Gopher & Selection Sunday (14 pts off) - 3 points awarded
​

In addition, these folks predicted a Purdue win but were more than 14 points off the actual score: gray4heisman, Bayfieldgopher, minimax, Gopher In Qatar, NUGGETT, ChemEGopher, streetfighter, rcpratt, runningopher, XMan, Rick Mons, ulmer, GophersInIowa. Each gets one participation point in the standings.

And, these folks thought the Gophers would prevail ... they get no points: akoch6767, betterdeadthanred, Blizzard, book, Burton 34, dboy, dex8425, Dr. Gopher, Dr.Don, Fargobison, FeartheBarn, figi, Freshtrout, Go31, GoFerit, gopher1more, Gopher737, Gopherocious, GophersOnTheRise, HardwoodElite, Haugy#33, Heber, howeda7, Kindofgreen, macgohper, Notorious PLD, Oleboy41 (57, Peanutbuttertubbytime, rccola889, Ski U Mah Gopher, Slim Tubby, StewieGopherFan, UptownMaroon&Gold, whogoofed

Standings will be posted later Thursday night. (Sorry for the delays but Thursday started at 6AM and Wednesday didn't end until after 2AM. I'm too old for these hours ... )
