In all the other prediction threads involving Utah, using "U-T-Ah" would be non-format compliant. However, in the BYU v Utah - Prediction thread, BYU is the team name that matters. That's the bias. I am a BYU fan, so as always, I make, BYU default team even when the play the Utes.
    Pelagius is just being anal. He thought my use of "the byu" was an unacceptable variation.

    But it's his game and he makes the rules. I am glad to live by them.

        It's about time someone put an end to your tomfoolery and hijinks.

        There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

              It's bound to happen some year that we play really well and they play poorly, no?

                    Will this be interpreted as the opposite?

                        No, it's fine. The program keys off finding a line with a "BYU" name (which is why the BYU identifier is the least flexible part of the program ... well that and my unwillingness to improve the program) and pipe delimer. It then looks on the line below for another line with a delimeter. If it doesn't find one in the next two lines it looks above.

                          You should look at the timing of YO's predictions, which so far this year seem to coincide with score predictions made by a certain past champion of these contests.I only noticed because I was going to do it for the Wash St. game but he stole my idea before I could implement it.
