Copanut Reclaims Title for 2020 Season
Yes, it was a strange season with very high highs and very low lows, but one good thing came out of it: the Ballers’ Trophy comes back home to where it belongs.
Here were the guesses on number of wins:
| Steelers | Rats | Stains | Bungles | Playoffs | |
| Actual | 12 | 11 | 11 | 4 | 0 |
| ESPN | 12 | 12 | 7 | 7 | 0 |
| MWalsh26 | 11 | 12 | 9 | 5 | 4 |
| copanut | 13 | 12 | 8 | 4 | 3 |
| steelersfan58 | 11 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| tennbob | 13 | 13 | 10 | 6 | 3 |
| JAMESH | 16 | 11 | 9 | 7 | 3 |
| EstimatedProphet | 10 | 12 | 6 | 5 | 2 |
Although we were all rooting for JAMESH to get the win (and it looked promising for 11 weeks) it just was not to be.
Here is the final tally of results, which is the difference between estimated and actual results. Low score wins:
| Steelers | Rats | Stains | Bungles | Playoffs | Total | |
| Actual | 12 | 11 | 11 | 4 | 0 | |
| ESPN | 0 | 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 8 |
| MWalsh26 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 9 |
| copanut | 1 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 8 |
| steelersfan58 | 1 | 1 | 11 | 4 | 4 | 21 |
| tennbob | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 9 |
| JAMESH | 4 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 12 |
| EstimatedProphet | 2 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 11 |
As you can see, copanut tied ESPN for the best prognostication. Although ESPN is the only entry that was exactly correct on the Steelers, copanut was closer with the Stains. Other differences cancelled out. MWalsh26 and tennbob were close behind with a score of 9. The dirty hippie might have won but failed to give guesses across the division and thus lost out. I gave him the courtesy of a guess for the Rats at 12 wins since he predicted they would finish ahead of the Steelers, but even that was not enough.
Better luck to all of us, in every way, for 2021.
