Background

Even with the early start to Bowl Season we got all of our predictions in on time and had a full slate this year. The total number of bowl games was 35 - quite a few to predict. The winning difference was as small as it has ever been with Dad eking out a one point victory.

Scoring

One point is awarded if the predictor is the only one who picks the correct team. The point is awarded regardless of point spreads selected. If both predictors select the same winning team (or both pick the losing team) then one point is awarded to the predictor with the closest point spread. If both predictors have the same winning team and point spread the result is considered a tie and no points are awarded. A predictor who correctly selects the winning team and the correct point spread is awarded two points. A predictor who correctly selects the winning team and the exact score of the game is awarded four points. Exact score predictions rarely occur, but the person who gets one nearly always is the winner for that year.
