Will Post Entire Leader Board This Evening

I'll post the entire Leader Board after I get home later. That way, everyone can see how they did (I'm assuming there were a few sidebets among the contestants ;-)

There it is, in all its glory. Congratulations to the Winners. Speaking of winners, they won't be paid until (I won't name names yet, but there are a couple of people who keep saying, "I'll pay when I see you..." blah, blah) all entries have been received. Seriously, next year - this won't be allowed to happen - your sheet will be deleted. Silly.

33 Down and 1 To Go

I know, technically the GMAC Bowl isn't over (but, trust me, it's over) Tulsa's David Johnson just threw his third touchdown pass of the game to match the three TD runs by Tarrion Adams (along with his 192 yards) - making the score 45-13 with just over 10 minutes left in the game.

So, like we expected, it's all going to come down to the Gators and the Sooners.

Enjoy the game and if you're in the money - place your hedges ;-)

Updating This Evening

Hey everyone. I fell asleep well before the completion of the Fiesta Bowl, so I didn't get a chance to calculate and update the standings. I'll do that this evening.

OK, it's up there now.

What's In It For The Winners?

It's hard to believe that we only started this a few weeks ago. On December the 14th, we sent out the email with the official entry form. That email contained the pay-out info. In case you've misplaced it, here is what it said:

1st place: 65%
2nd place: 25%
3rd place: 10%- 100
4th place: your entry back (100)


Any ties will split the money associated with those places. For example, if there is a two-way tie for 1st, the two first place finishers would split the combined prize for first and second (although, according to the projected scenarios, I don't believe there are any ties to be had this year - no matter what happens in the final three games).

Scenarios For Final Three Games

Please note: These are UNOFFICIAL.

I have worked out the various scenarios for the final point totals based upon the outcomes of the last three games. I've only done the calculations based upon the Top 10 in terms of potential - AND I performed all of the calculations in my head. So, there could be a mistake or two. But, I think this is a fairly accurate projection of who will finish in the money depending on which teams cover the final games.

Obviously, I'll continue to update the Leader Board using the formulae built into the Excel spreadsheet - and any mistakes in the projections (if there are any) will be discovered then. Enjoy!

Go Texas, Tulsa and Oklahoma!!!

~ Max
NOTE: After looking further, if Texas wins a couple other people might have a shot at the money. I'll post new scenarios after tomorrow night's Fiesta Bowl.

Time For Projections

Before the sun goes down tomorrow, I'll have full scenarios posted. If you are still up, and want to see where you stand now, I've posted the Top 10 in terms of potential.
