With it being August 1st, thought I'd throw this out there again to see if there's continued interest in a weekly pool this season...
Of course. Ready to defend my crown
Sure!
Im down with it. Which is apropos considering I usually go down in flames by week 2.
Maybe we up our game with the weekly show?
SC.
I'm in!
Count me in
I'll give it a try...wooden spoon winner right here!
It's on like Donkey Kong! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI4jVTpcx3s)
Week 1 pool is now open. Get your picks in ASAP.
https://forms.gle/EBQpqkFg6ZfCHV457
Rules once again unchanged:
- 5 points for each game outcome
- 10 points for each correct score
- After dropping your lowest weekly score, season winner is participant with most points
- This season's prize is once again nothing :-)

For you, it's Tuesday. For the rest of us mortals it's Thursday.
Alright, the pool is set with 37 entries:
The "everyone seems to agree" games:- Vassar over F&M — 73% (27 of 37)
- WashU over North Park — 70.3% (26 of 37)
- Scranton over Muhlenberg — 64.9% (24 of 37)
- Colorado College over Wheaton (IL) — 59.5% (22 of 37)
Then we get to the fun stuff...- CMU–Otterbein is basically a coin flip.
Otterbein gets 35.1%, CMU gets 32.4%, and the draw gets 32.4%. - TCNJ–Ithaca is another interesting one.
TCNJ has the slight edge at 45.9%, but Ithaca isn't far behind at 40.5%. Only five people picked the draw. - And then there's PSU-Berks–PSU-Altoona, where the draw is actually the favorite at 45.9%. The most common score is 2–2, with 9 predictions.
A few predicted scorelines of interest:- Amherst 2–1 CT College — 12 predictions
- Vassar 2–1 F&M — 11
- W&L 2–1 Johns Hopkins — 10
- PSU-Berks 2–2 PSU-Altoona — 9
- Greensboro 1–1 Guilford — 9
- CMU 1–1 Otterbein — 9

I am sorry to say you are all going to lose. I have the foresight of knowing the score now. The crown is mine.
SC.
Hah, F&M comes out looking pretty good beating Vassar 2-1 with only a 27% chance. So much for polls. Might the only game I got right.
F&M v Elizabethtown for the Boot next weekend.
Before announcing results, can I just say that I get tremendous joy out of this contest - largely thanks to one person in particular :-)

If it makes you feel any better, you're only 5 points behind the defending champion.
