ENTRY SCORING AND WINNER SELECTION:
The differences between each team's predicted and actual rankings are summed for your score:
- Example:
Predicted final ranking of USC: #6, actual final ranking of USC: #19 - Calculation per team: (Predicted – Actual = Difference)
6 – 19 = –13 - Points per team: (Absolute value of Difference)
|–13| = 13 Points - The points per team for all ten teams in your entry are added together for your total score. A perfect score is 0 (zero).
