2016 Prediction Contest Results & Standings

[Mavric]

Not sure how this is going to work but we'll give it a go.

For each game, you have to pick the final score exactly right.

But I'll also keep track of how close people are to the different numbers along the way.

Here's a link to the game results and standings.

[JJ Husker]

Good synopsis Mav, I like it.

And NO, I wasn't hoping FSU would score 9 more towards the end of the game. What kind of monster do you guys take me for?

[84HuskerLaw]

I would have been even closer on the final score but for the blocked punt (maybe/probably). LOL

 

[Mavric]

My name is misspelled

Sorry about that. Fixed

I think it was funny to see all the predictions for a close game before the Wyoming game, and then seeing the fans freak out because it was a close game for 3 quarters, so were those fans expecting a close game then expecting a blowout during the actual game?
