How did I not earn a single point? My prediction wasn't that far off? In fact, my score was the same as CJF's, and he earned 6 points. What gives?

You were in 28th place. Only the top 25 are in the points.

You will note that CJF was 1 point from the correct BYU score, while you were 4 points. CJF had a raw score of approximately 3 better than you, accounted by that difference.

(dumb artistic types, always need the math explained) :)

It still continues to amaze me that even skipping picking the Washington game, I am in the top 10. What are the odds that having missed a game I could still finish number 1? For any average sports guy it would be impossible, but for me.........?

Missing a week is no different than having a bad prediction one week, that puts you out of the money. For example, Sizzle was in 1st place and got 0 points this week, despite a respectable prediction (48 to 17). Point is, it is getting very competitive, and even though I predicted 45 to 10, I was only 7th or so.

That may be true for most on here, however I never have a bad prediction week and therefor for me it isn't the same.

Do I get to change my title again if I win this season's contest? I am tiring of Master and have been focusing on winning again to be able to change it.

You've averaged about 10th place in the 3 weeks you have participated. That's nice, but don't get a big head.

Not so fast my friend.

Even after putting up a big fat goose egg on the UCLA game, your blue fowl friend is still a mere 3 points back.
