The final score will be:

abs(byu_p - byu_a) + abs (ucla_p - ucla_a) + (0.5)(abs(MH_BO_PE_p - MH_BO_PE_a))

where _p = predicted and _a = actual

abs = absolute value function.

BYU: 27
UCLA: 17

What is it with all you people predicting a loss. I NEVER predict a loss for the boys...even when I know it's sort of a long shot. It's accepting defeat before kick-off.

That is why its called predicting. It is not about wishing or hoping.

OK, so some are predicting a BYU win but a better olSIN rating. How does that work? 2+ ints for Hall? More TDs for olSIN? I would think that the winning team's QB would have the better rating.

Of course then, like 71, I'm totally lost on these things.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
