Hey math people
Would it be at all possible (or easy) to figure out how many net games off of predicted regular season records everyone was (irrespective of if we got the actual games they won or lost right)? Or would that just be identical to our current records? Do you understand me?

huh?
okay, here goes
Like I predicted dook to go 14-2 (but missed the actual games). Still, in initailly predicting, I was more concerned about getting final records right than the games (even though I realize they are related and if I could do the latter, the former wouldn't matter). I was just wondering if there was any way to measure that (and if it would be different than what we've done).
So, since I nailed dook's record, my net games off for them would be 0. However, I picked UNC to be 9-7, so I'd be -3 for them. If we were to aggregate all the games off I was for each team versus their final standing, what would that yield.
I was just wondering if that was easy to do in excel (and i could somehow see it, due to mathematics I don't want to sit down and think about, be equivalent to our current standings anyway). Or we could just add up our own individually and do it that way, but I'm pretty lazy for that option.
so I ended up doing the math -- I was 17 games off cumulatively. If anyone else has their original predictions and the time, I'd be interested in seeing where that compares.
did you just use "aggregate?" I stopped reading right there... twshit
