Unfortunately, I don't have time these days to "run" our informal prediction game (creating the google form, posting the predictions and calculating the results).  If anyone wants to take up the mantle, I am happy to share my old files.  If not, happy to make this a very informal thing where people just post their predictions in a single thread, and there is no formal compilation.

In any case, I'm going to guess that injuries and rust lead to a lackluster start to the season.  We win 21-17 or so, and Love is "held" to a rather pedestrian 112 yards and 1 TD.

BC

Maybe simplify the tabulation:  1) Closest to the final point spread; 2) Closest to Stanford score as the tiebreaker.  
Someone can list the predictions made in this thread before Kickoff.

I don't think the complexity of the formula has anything to do with the time it takes to do this job.  BC has an online form for entering the predictions.  I think that the data produced by the form is imported into a spreadsheet that does the calculations.  BC can tell us how much time it takes each week, but I don't think it is extensive.
