The MRI vs. The World - Update #3, The Home Stretch
January 1, 2007 | By Benjamin Miraski
The Big Ten finally got a few bowl wins today. Penn State and Wisconsin overcame that "pretty good" conference, the SEC with wins over Tennessee and Arkansas. The games of the past few days have once again jumbled the standings in the big race, shuffling the MRI down to ... umm, well, last place. There is still time and a few games for the computer to reassert its dominance, though.
If it is any consolation, last year's big winner, Dennis Dodd has fallen into a tie with the MRI and that will make the last few games interesting. And while we can't catch the Schwab, who looks in line for the win overall, we definitely can make it interesting since the computer likes a few underdogs moving forward.
As I like to say, it is still anyone's game.
Updated Standings:
1. The Schwab, 20-5, 80%
2. The World, 18-7, 72%
2. Harmon Predictor, 18-7, 72%
4. Darin Darst, 16-9, 64%
4. Congrove Computer, 16-9, 64%
6. The MRI, 15-10, 60%
6. Dennis Dodd, 15-10, 60%
