MVC Predictions Challenge

[Baltimore Bird]

Baltimore Bird is challenging all of you to make a prediction of each MVC team's conference record and seed for STL. There is a prize for the winner. If Baltimore Bird wins, Slade Running Bear owes me 5 beers at the MVC. Here is how it works.

Predict each teams record (18 games) and seed. Example: Northern Iowa, 14 and 4 and the #1 seed. If UNI goes 12 and 6 you are 2 off and get a score of 2. If they go 15 and 3 your are 1 off and get a score of 1. The low score of all 10 teams vs their actual record will be the winner. Seeding will be used to break a tie. If there is a tie, the most teams you picked with the correct STL seed win win. If still tied, we will work on something for the tournament.

For you BU grads, if any: The wins should equal the losses for 10 teams and total 90 wins and 90 losses.

Come on and join in and give us something to watch during the season beside hoops. As Pluto said in Animal House, "It don't cost nothing."

My predictions will follow shortly.

[chuckie1980]

So if I have the only pick of the Birds ending in the top half of the conference....will that mean I will probably win?

I went back and forth on the 5/6 spot for the Birds. Ultimately, we tend to lose out on the tiebreaker situations.

Evansville is gonna be a dumpster fire now. Unless those guys can pull together, just not sure they are a group that can.

With the exception of uni I think it comes down to who can grab a couple of road wins.

 

[Baltimore Bird]

All: Conference play starts tonight, so entries stop at 6 PM CST. There is still time to enter. There is more than one entry that does not have 90 wins and 90 losses. You will be scored based on what you predicted. I think it will make it harder to win that way, but we will see. GOOD LUCK.
