Jamalo gets his second first-place finish in three days (and three predictions). This was the largest variance from actual this year -- Jamalo was 19 points off the actual score with a 64-56 prediction.

But I'm not going to complain since we were on the right side of a lop-sided win.

Here are the top five places:
1st Place: Jamalo (19 pt variance - 15 points awarded in standings)
2nd Place (tie): fan of Ray Williams, Rosemountian & SeemoreButts (20 pt variance - 10 points awarded in standings)
3rd Place (tie): rccola889, Ski U Mah Gopher & whogoofed (21 pt variance - 7 points awarded in standings)
4th Place (tie): brucekaupa & MKE_Gopher (22 pt variance - 5 points awarded in standings)
5th Place (tie): book, Conan,GophersOnTheRise, Heber & StewieGopherFan (23 pt variance - 3 points awarded in standings)​
Others who picked the Gophers to win but were 24 (or more) points off the actual score include: DrDon, Eye of the Gopher, FeartheBarn, Gopher737, GophersInIowa, HardwoodElite, Blizzard, Gopher In Qatar, minimax, runningopher, betterdeadthanred, Rick Mons, husker70, z-stein, XMan, Burton34, Anderson8284. All get one participation point in the standings.

Meanwhile, these poor souls just didn't see a Gopher victory and went with the Boilermakers: rcpratt, Kindofgreen, Mikie S, jamiche, Section201, Southpaw, gopherbadgerman, FishingMN As a result they get no points in the standings. Nada. Zip. Zero.

Finally, the Roll Call of Honor:

Absolutely no justice... Last night versus MSU, I missed by 5 and got 1 lousy point. Today versus Purdue I missed by 24 points and got 1 lousy point. And today's winner misses by 19 and gets 15 points. Now I know why I don't gamble (much).

Oh well.........GO GOPHERS!!!
