2014 USNWR T25 Prediction Contest (Winners Announced) Forum

Lol, this isn't about the rankings. Nobody cares about the rankings. It's about pistachios and TLS comradery.

Say what? I am the diva of camaraderie. & I even know how to spell it!!

(on second thought maybe I am just a diva....!)

[goden]

Hey North should I go ahead and PM you my mailing address for the pistachios?

Will play later when on a computer, so in other words everyone else can forget about winning those 'stachios

Awesome.

Also scallion pancakes are delicious. They were a personal favorite of the man, the myth, the legend, General Tso.

Never had scallion pancakes but I made this a while back and it was amazing.
Loaded with scallions and garlic.

Lol, I'm not seeing "75% ugliness of state LS is located in" in the USNWR methodology.

Green onions are great but idk if I would go so far as to call them "food."

I actually have a bazillion of them growing in my garden (well, when it's not winter and all covered with snow anyway) so pistachios are defs more valuable to me atm.

[holmesboy]

Note: You must have at least 100 posts to play. Sorry, lurkers.

Do anonymous poasts count toward my total?

[alwayssunnyinfl]

I think I also win the post count contest. Not too proud of that part, though.

Really?? Going with the slacker spelling of it? Ohh, look I just increased my post count, maybe I’ll be eligible for the 2015 predictions.

[alwayssunnyinfl]

The Rules for Grading

• Everybody starts off with 100 points. I'll compare your submitted list to the USNWR list and deduct a point for: (1) every school that isn't at the rank it should be and (2) every school that is at a rank it shouldn't be.

So if I said

7. Berekely
8. UVA

But in reality they flipped, so the right answer would be

7. UVA
8. Berk

Then I would lose four points (UVA is not at 7, UVA is at 8, Berk is not at 8, Berk is at 7), but if I said

7. Whittier
8. UVA

and the correct answer turned out, for some strange reason, to be

7. Berekely
8. UVA

Then I would only lose two points?

*does some math*

So I'm guaranteed 50 points if I do this:

• _1. Cooley
  _2. Whittier
  _3. CUNY
  _4. NYLS
  _5. Samford
  _6. North Dakota
  _7. Akrom
  _8. Hamline
  _9. Pepperdine
  10. Regent
  11. Pace
  12. Texas Tech
  13. UC Irvine
  14. Dayton
  15. Mercy
  16. Idaho
  17. San Francisco
  18. South Dakota
  19. U D.C.
  20. Wyoming
  21. Toledo
  22. Hawaii
  23. William Mitchell
  24. Kansas City
  25. Stetson

[/list]

Bring on dem pistachios!

Idgit. Aren't you guaranteed 50 points regardless since you can only lose 2 points per slot?

[TripTrip]

Idgit. Aren't you guaranteed 50 points regardless since you can only lose 2 points per slot?

Drat. You're right. BUT by that logic, this is my new 76 point prediction:

• _1. Yale
  _2.
  _3.
  _4.
  _5.
  _6.
  _7.
  _8.
  _9.
  10.
  11.
  12.
  13.
  14.
  15.
  16.
  17.
  18.
  19.
  20.
  21.
  22.
  23.
  24.
  25.

If I don't predict a school, then it can't be at a rank it shouldn't be!
