Personally I think picking the winner is more important than being close to the score. I mean, in football winning counts much more than the score, and in a hypothetical where UW and Stanford are 8-1 and 7-2 in conference respectively (and no one else has fewer than 3 losses), but UW won all their games by less than a touchdown and got blown out in the one loss, while Stanford blew every team out except for losing two games by a single point, UW still gets to go to the Pac-12 championship. So, yeah, if you picked Stanford to win 41-3, and someone else picks Stanford to lose 20-19 and the actual score is Stanford wins 20-19, then yeah, the person who correctly picked Stanford to win should be ahead of the person who was numerically close, but picked the wrong winner.
As for the 10 point rule, I think most of us wind up picking Stanford anyways. And loyalty is enforced the old fashioned way, by making fun of people who incorrectly pick against Stanford.
