    I may want a piece of the action. I will vote homer even through we may play the Warriors in SF. Isn't this restriction biased?? Or is the data based only on Blazer wins +/- differential and no more? Would you consider another set of parameters such as differential in points and exclusion by loss which may reveal accuracy for a forum prediction king.

    I think G Pa Blaze does more than enough I'd suggest you calculate additional rankings criteria if that interests you.

    At one point I had spread built into the results but it started getting overly complicated and people were trying to figure out how someone placed above someone else.

    The decision for the rankings was to get as close to the final score as possible but first and foremost - if you are going to be a predictions king - you must predict the right team to win. Vegas doesn't play favorites and so if you want to have the title, that is the first criteria.

    That being said, I believe Darkwebs is currently our two-peat champion and he is fully homer.
