Please double check the schedule for me. Rather than writing a script, I just went through each team and built the schedule in advance. I could have made mistakes, so feel free to tell me and also do it in a manner befitting a complete prick

I should also add that due to the spreadsheet design only the last 2 preseason games were taken into account.

No question about it, ECA is the best team in Alpha. Finally, a program that gets the correct results!!

I triple checked that too. I just couldn't believe it.

15th YES , I was really concerned when opening these rankings if we would be able to be ranked ahead of the Red Devils, but I guess our builds right now are just slightly better than theirs. Hopefully we can live up to these tough expectations you have predicted for us.

Crap, the 1st place jinx. How did this happen?

I really get a kick out of the people that can't comprehend the concept of the spreadsheet. The reference to "you" always makes me chuckle. Then throw in the "predicted" comment and this is pure gold, baby.

Its got the Barcelona Bulls winning 124-16 yet our team matchup page tells a different story. They have better blocking and passing and kill us in rushing and everything else is equal so how does it think we will win 124-16?

pre-season is all that matters

I thought my predictions were bad. Thank goodness for spreadsheets.

Maybe there are some people uninitiated to the ways of the spreadsheet. It takes a few games to start getting super accurate. I've found that around week 7 it will usually be around 15-1 with very accurate score predictions. Until that time we'll all see some really odd predictions.

I choose to continue publishing it for fun and discussion. For those that are offended please consider that it's not a personal attack on your credibility. Just a mathematical formula.

By me saying "you" it was referring to the predictions you posted. Just hope we can live up to these tough expecations and steal one game this season. Hope "you" are still chuckling.

Yeah, that holds true for leagues where there is a big drop-off in talent between the 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-tier teams. This conference is pretty damn solid this season and I think the predictions will hold truer than they did in seasons past.
