It's bull that RichKern is in front of all of us when he didn't even call four matches. Not fair... he pretty much got free points...

Rich is a volleyball deity though. Plus, I don't recall publius ever saying the contest would be fair!

Plus, I don't recall publius ever saying the contest would be fair! Gentlemen, gentlemen! Of course the contest is a fair one. Only BFE's (bona fide entries) are counted, first of all. That leaves out AVCA, Rich Kern, Pablo and RKPI, for example. Gorf's chart has gratuitous info unrelated to the contest, such as the percentage. The winner of the contest is whichever BFE picks the most winners and, if it comes to one or more tiebreakers, the winner of them. So no need to be concerned with contestants being ordered on the Gorf chart by winning percentage. FWIW, aaronic, you are sitting in a pretty sweet spot.

The percentage of correct picks is calculated on the same basis for all real contestants.
The percentage of correct picks for Pablo an RKPI is also calculated the same since they both "pick the winner' of all matches.
The only "issue" with the percentage of correct pics is for the AVCA and Rich Kern polls because neither ranks all 300+ teams which means there is no way to use their team rankings to pick a winner in all each weeks matches.
If anyone wants a true comparison of how they're doing in relation to those two polls then they can on their own do the breakdowns on the common matches picked by themselves and those polls. That is what publius does by hand each week in breaking down the comparisons of each of the for ranking systems also included in my charts.
Personaly, I find it interesting to compare how well or poorly I'm doing against each of those as well as against the other real contestants each week.
The premier prognosticator has historically been publius, however, it appears he's being given a good challenge so far this season. At least on a weekly basis - I'm not sure where everyone stands for the entire season at this point.

I agree with what Gorf wrote in the preceding post. I, and I believe most contestants, find it very informative to see how their choices mesh with those of the expert polls, and Gorf's chart and link also lead to a quick pinpoint analysis of where the differences are. I just wanted to clarify for aaronic that his concern was misplaced for purposes of determining the results of this contest and reassure him that it was being run fairly.

Just made the AA team baby!!!! In addition to this, i'm currently in first?!! Yayy... I'm going to really savor this moment for as long as I can because it's so close right now, things could change with these last three matches. All three are going to be tough nailbiters(at least for me anyway....)

All three are going to be tough nailbiters(at least for me anyway....) The only match that can have an impact on the final results is Louisville / Notre Dame. For the other two matches everyone close to you picked the same team as you and only dcoach has a different pick for the Louisville / Notre Dame match. I Louisville wins, you win the contest outright. If Notre Dame wins, the dcoach ties you and wins via the first tiebreaker.
