Welcome to the Official Kentucky vs NC State Prediction Contest!

Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results after the game. You can put any comment you would like below your score prediction (put '***' after your prediction to make it easier to separate the comments) but try not to put anything above your prediction as my scripts may not be able to find your prediction.

The rules are simple. Whoever predicts the correct winner with the score closest to the actual score wins. The method of determining your score is to take the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the NC State score and the actual plus the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the opponent score and the actual. You now don't have to have the correct winner to make the list but you incur a penalty of the worst score of those who picked the correct winner. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker is used. In case of a tie in the tiebreaker, we have more than one winner.

I will be awarding points for the first 10 places and including a bonus of 3 additional points for making a perfect prediction. I will track cumulative point totals and the number of games you make the top 10. This contest will end after the bowl season.

Your post should look something really close to what is between the lines below. Remember the ":"s and the word "Tiebreaker:"! Do not!! use a "-" as a separator because some of our tiebreakers can be negative.

This week's tiebreaker is NC State Rushing First Downs.

Kentucky vs NC State game:

--------------------------
Kentucky: 27
NC State: 31

Tiebreaker: 13
--------------------------

Just cut and paste everything between the lines above into your reply and then modify the scores and tiebreaker as you see fit. If you don't know how to do that, type very carefully. Remember to type in the word "Tiebreaker:" so that I can find it. Anything my scripts can't figure out will not count.

Don't edit your post or try to post a score after the game has started.

BTW I really would prefer exact names for the teams, but whenever we play Louisville, I'll make an effort to accept any name you can think of that is not obscene.

Go with 34 27 UK.. Ends with TW taking a knee in victory formation. Tie breaker 8
 
Congrats to @CatOnRockyTop who used the tiebreaker to edge out @Blueisbest for the best prediction today. Congrats on @SpeedisEverything who extended his lead on the overall leaderboard. @NCPurplecat, that wasn't too close to the format I would like to see but after such a nice win, I don't mind manually entering your pick. I'll get our final prediction contest up soon: Alabama v Ohio State. Should be a good one and a hard one to predict.
