We'll stick to this one for this week.

I wouldn't be too sure if I were you.

For the Tulsa game, I'm thinking it'll be mainly based on points, but you must also guess the temperature, humidity, and attendance. And number of attendees wearing cougar blue. I would like to see some factor involving the number of polls on CG that day. The prediction contest will also include something about Collie's post-game wardrobe...

On second thought maybe I'll just stick with what you've got and be happy with that.

Then, choose:

Hall's pass efficiency - (minus) Olson's pass efficiency

For example if you think Hall will have a higher pass efficiency, your number will be +, otherwise will be -.

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.

Ben Ols(x)n has a pass efficiency 35 points greater than Max Hall.

We get whacked, unfortunately. Despite Hall having a better PE than Cush. The difference will be the run game and special teams.
