Last week’s prediction thread results, and final tally for the season!
There were a ton of great predictions for the score of the Tennessee game, and longtime poster roanoke who came within two points of the final in picking the Vols. Most people predicted an easy Clemson win over South Carolina, but it was Lynchsr who came closest to the final score. Two Maniacs picked Kentucky over Louisville and were closest to the final, roanoke (again) and dorepleganger. Finally, it was geeznotagain who picked the Tide and got the score nearly correct.
It was a very good weekend for picking upsets. Honorable mention goes to BrentVU and coachinwaiting for Michigan over Ohio State; dore74 for LSU over Texas A&M; geeznotagain for Virginia Tech over Virginia; and dorepleganger for Michigan State over Penn State. Upset of the Week honors go to cc11316 for Hawaii over Wyoming.
It’s also time to announce the end-of-season winners. I assigned one point to every weekly winner of the Vandy game, the other weekly games, and the Upset of the Week, and a half-point to those receiving honorable mention upset recognition. There are no tie breakers.
In a tie for third place for the season, props to roanoke and coachinwaiting. In second place, let’s pay tribute to dorepleganger and dore74. And we also have a tie this year for the title of Champion--congratulations to BrentVU and VUinFL!
Thanks to everyone for playing. We’ll see you back here in August. Aloha!

Re: Last week’s prediction thread results, and final tally for the season!
Auric - I really appreciate having this game every week. It gives me a rooting interest in games I normally wouldn't care about plus it's just fun to see how close I am to the results. I learn every year that I likely will never make the Top 3 again but that is okay, I'll keep playing as long as you are willing to organize it.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Wow, I get bragging rights for THIS season? Seemed like this was my worst prediction season ever. But I'll take it. And happy to share it with VUinFL.

Alas, I did not place in this year's final tally. But I will continue to check my inbox daily for a participation trophy.

Re: Last week’s prediction thread results, and final tally for the season!
I assume I was solidly in last place again. I am the Vanderbilt of bad predictions.
But I enjoyed it just as much as when I won it a few years back.

And thanks for playing once again!

Re: Last week’s prediction thread results, and final tally for the season!
I would like to echo everyone's thanks and recognition of Auric for running the pick 'em. Thank you, Auric!
It really does enhance the season.
Also, to any fans of the Netflix F1 series, when I told Mrs. Dorepleganger I managed a podium for the pick 'em - and P2 at it - she could not stop laughing. I said the contest was was akin to Silverstone, and possibly Monaco.
(If anyone hasn't watched the series, I recommend it!)

Auric, thanks for all your contributions. I assume you will spend the offseason flying around with Ms. Galore, working at Enterprises Auric A.G and enjoying yourself at the Goldfinger Stud Farm. Best wishes!

Re: Last week’s prediction thread results, and final tally for the season!
Why can't there be one for bowl season? Lots of games. There's a final four and everybody loves that.
I'll throw one together if you want to pin it up top. Maybe the final 4 plus the biggest 6 other bowls??
