the return of SNOWBRAG :O

[Dr Rick Daris]

i'm going to start a separate thread where we can all place bets on who will be better, snowbrag or chimera.

Can BP weigh in on the games as well. Nobody else. It'll be man vs algorithm vs faulty calculator

yes. chingon's brains vs mocat's TI-73 vs bookie's whatever.

This is a "score predicto" contest/thread.... I'm not gonna just guess at scores. That makes no sense.

[CHONGS]

OK, how about:

TCU 25
Baylor 28

Texas 17
Oklahoma 28

West Virginia 40
Texas Tech 29

Auburn 30
Mississippi State 27

Oregon 33
UCLA 34

Georgia 34
Missouri 29

Florida State 31
Syracuse 22

Highlighted some of the biggest differences between SNOWBRAG and ChiMERA.

TCU   26   Baylor   31
Texas   12   Oklahoma   35
West Virginia   46   Texas Tech   23
Auburn   30   Mississippi State   19
Oregon   33   UCLA   38
Georgia   32   Missouri   20
Florida State   38   Syracuse   20

BONUS (not counted but for fun comparison)
Oklahoma State   35   Kansas   18

They have the spread included in their predictos. You need to weigh in ATS. gE needs a human component.

chignon's brains are a component of a human, no?  BP's algorithm needs adjusting tho.

If Baylor beats TCU 31-28, who wins? One is correct on spread, the other is closer on points for each team.

Ok...  No scores, just ATS winner on these games:

TCU +8
OU -14
WVU -6.5
MSU +3
UCLA +2.5
UGA -3
'Cuse +24.5

Bonus game
ku +21

I would agree to a golf-like scoring system:

how far off the actual spread*(2 if winner is wrong) + (how far off of the total points scored)/2

For example if the real score for the TCU Baylor game is: TCU 28 Baylor 31 then

SNOWBRAG scores: 0 + 6/2 = 3
ChiMERA scores: 2 + 2/1 = 3

This would be a tie. And I am OK with ties happening for games.
 

add this up for each game and the lowest score wins.

this sounds good

[mocat]

the only thing i would add to that:

all snowbrag picks are tighter games than all of chimera'a games. if 1 favorite blows out an underdog, there is no way i can win. if 1 underdog blows out a favorite, there is no way chimera can win.

since we are doing an odd number of games, can we just consider each game a "win" or "loss", instead of adding up the points for the whole week together? whoever takes more games wins the week.

Sure that's cool with me.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

My weekly cursory review of box score yields more accurate predictions.  Consider my hat in the ring.

[mocat]

how far off the actual spread*(2 if winner is wrong) + (how far off of the total points scored)/2

1.
TCU 58
Baylor 61

snowbrag = 0 + 66/2 = 33
chimera = 2 + 62/2 = 33

2.
Texas 26
Oklahoma 31

snowbrag = 6 + 12/2 = 12
chimera = 18 + 10/2 = 23

3.
West Virginia 37
Texas Tech 34

snowbrag = 8 + 2/2 = 9
chimera = 20 + 2/2 = 21

4.
Auburn 23
Mississippi State 38

snowbrag = 18*2 + 4/2 = 38
chimera = 26*2 + 12/2 = 58

5.
Oregon 42
UCLA 30

snowbrag = 13*2 + 5/2 = 28.5
chimera = 17*2 + 1/2 = 34.5

6.
Georgia 34
Missouri 0

snowbrag = 29 + 29/2 = 43.5
chimera = 22 + 18/2 = 31

7.
Florida State 38
Syracuse 20

snowbrag = 9 + 5/2 = 11.5
chimera = 0 + 0/2 = 0

-------------------
somebody check these numbers (my TI is on the fritz), but it looks like snowbrag takes Week 7 with a record of 4-2-1 vs chimera. that is despite chimera hitting a hole in 1 in the carrier dome!

[CHONGS]

Looks like SNOWBRAG takes week 7!  Congrats!  Let's do this week in a new thread (have the current score SNOWBRAG - 1 ChiMERA - 0)
