2022 Bowl Game Prediction Poll: (21) Notre Dame vs. (19) South Carolina

[IrishLax]

I got ND moneyline at -135. Seeing it closer to -170 most places now. Bottom line is that I don't think South Carolina is a deep team and they have a plethora of opt outs. While the opt outs for Notre Dame are extremely talented players... at the end of the day, it's only two elite guys and only one that really affects strategy. They're not looking at 5-6 fresh faces replacing top line players.

Final score I'm thinking something like ND 31 SC 24. The biggest enigma is definitely the ND passing game minus Mayer and plus Buchner. That could be an implosion that derails the entire offense... or it could be something hyper effective because of a lack of film on what ND is going to do.

I have no idea, so someone pick for me.

Man nobody wants to play a game in Florida where you’re about to get trucked by a 230 lb running back. I’m really hoping we play some of those young athletic LBs today. I also think TB12 is going to take some deep shots without running for his life. I think we roll big today. And the WRs run all over.

What will Rees call with South Carolina loading up the line of scrimmage against Buchner?

Line has been creeping in a favorable direction all week. It’s not the Rose Bowl, but win this damn game boys.

Congrats to @Pops Freshenmeyer who sealed up the board's prediction crown for the 2022 season; he took first with five points total.

Another fun year, sad it's over. We'll be back in the fall.

Go Irish!

Congratulations to PF but it does show how lousy IE is at figuring things out doesn't it?

I suppose we'll get more humble because of this ... hmmm... wait ....

If you bet exact score ranges on a sportsbook and won 5 of 11 you would be rolling in cash. They're usually in the +500ish range for odds.

 

[Old Man Mike]

well ... that was one of us.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

It's totally repeatable, I'm sure.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

well ... that was one of us.

The spreadsheet is too large to upload so I was just uploading screen shots of the top of the leaderboard, so we're looking at very limited data.

Each of the polls that I created had ten options, so we're already trying to make an educated guess in an otherwise 1/10 situation. I try to make it intentionally difficult as it's more fun that way; it wouldn't be fun to have only a few options and everyone is getting it right. Five is quite outstanding, to be honest, as LAX pointed out.

For what it's worth, in total, over 116 posters got at least one game correct, 27 got 2, another 7 got 3 correct, and 2 got 4.
