You got that right. So far, my code can't read the predictions of @creeksman (not even close), @Chum83 (don't use "-" as a separator), and @satcheluk (don't include other posts - the format changes too often to keep up). Also, my code got confused by @straykat's text above the prediction. My code uses regular expressions to try to find your predictions. I tried to put in code to handle all the goofy way we spell things. I even put in code to specifically handle @Roe07's "University of", but it is far from perfect. I could try to improve the code and update it to handle this year's "quote" code but I doubt I will. Remember that I may fix up predictions by manually entering a prediction if we win but I never do it when we lose so you are taking your chances. If you want to fix them up before the kickoff, I wouldn't complain.

*** Sheesh! My code can't handle included posts right now since they changed it. Please consider editing that out of your posts. It looks like a lot of people are doing it and that means a lot of manual entries I have to do. This doesn't make me happy.
EDIT: Forget about it. I saw so many picks that were including and quoting other posts that I figured out how to get past it in my code. I'm sure someone will find another way to break it, though. Don't even think about putting your prediction inside of someone's quote. I won't even try to make that work.
