Three participants were tied for first with a five-point variance from the actual scores; however, XMan (65-72 predicted score) was closest to the actual winning team's score. The two others who tied XMan also receive 15 points in the season-long standings: MilesTones and Zales04 (both with 62-69 predictions). XMan has his name added to the Roll Call of Honor, below.

The five top places include:
1st Place (tie): XMan, MilesTones and Zales04 - 15 pts awarded; variance of 5 points from actual score.
2nd Place: Gold Rush - 10 pts awarded; variance of 8 points from actual score.
3rd Place (tie): Anderson8284 and Ski U Mah Gopher - 7 pts awarded; variance of 9 points from actual score.
4th Place: gopherbadgerman - 5 pts awarded; variance of 10 points from actual score.
5th Place: Burton34 - 3 pts awarded; variance of 13 points from actual score.
Others who predicted a Michigan win receive One Participation Point and include: Big Play, Mikie S, minimax, mom8pop, RW+RW=Our W's, SelectionSunday, skoalvikings, Smokey pearl, The Big L, and whogoofed.

The rest of us not named above received zero, zilch, zippo, nada, nothing. Gosh darn.
 

Would greatly have preferred to be wrong with that pick. Michigan shoots 31% from 3-pt land for the year and torch us for 45%. *&^%$#@!
 


I'm happy to get 15 points, but at the same time it sucks to be right.

So True

Way to go XMan! Blind squirrel found a nut.

Yes that is true, since I am usually way off on the score predictions. I too would have loved to have been way wrong on this one. I got the Gophers winning this weekend though!
