Pick the Score - Gardner- Webb

[SkyWalker]

Anyone up for another season of Pick the Score? Rules are the same as in the past.

Net the difference from the actual Xavier score and your predicted Xavier score.
Net the difference from the opponent score and your predicted opponent score.
Add these two numbers together and subtract from 100.
Award a 5 point bonus for picking the winning team.
Award a 25 point bonus for predicting both the winner and the exact score of the game.

Scoring Example
You pick Xavier to beat Gardner-Webb 74-52
Xavier wins 69-54
74-69 = 5 (Xavier component)
54-52 = 2 (Gardner-Webb component)
5+2 = 7 (Sum both components)
100 – 7 = 93 (Subtract from 100)
93 + 5 (Add winning team bonus) = 98 (Your score)

There will be a Top 10 recap for each game, Year-to Date totals for the entire season and a separate Big East total for conference opponents.

Note: It does say conference opponents. If the event that Xavier was to play a Big East opponent in the post season, that game will be counted in the Big East scoring.

This contest is for amusement only.

Computers cranking, analysis churning, mathematical and statistical algorithms ...
The other prediction I will make is that I will successfully defend this title.

Thanks Skywalker!

For the record, I suck at this. I've only finished in the top 10 once (wasn't even top 5), and save a one-game period early on at the edge of the overall top 25, my season standing has also been no good. So, take a good look at my prediction and then go in a totally different direction. Probably a good bet.

Skywalker, I have no idea what your equation means, does, or whether it will prove the best guess as the winner. I suspect it has something to do with a friend of mine, one crown prince of Nigeria who has an incredibly large sum of money in an offshore bank. I gave him all my banking and personal information so we could share in the fortune,,,, so I'll give you a guess too.
