If you don't want to know the breakdown of who stands to gain what if either of the two possible outcomes takes place next week, read no further.
The following does not include the final two points that will come from next week's predictions. As you'll see, that last decision can make a difference in either outcome, especially considering that the perhaps-mythical mix CD goes to the first runner-up in the event that I win.
Also note that while I double-check the numbers every week, human error is a possibility; if I've screwed anything up, please let me know.
Taking only the points on the table from the first ten weeks, here's the rundown:
Standings, If Blake Wins:
Mo Pie: 20.5
Frito: 20
Pam: 17.5
Mel: 17
TeKay: 16
Shmuel: 12
Jesse: 7
Standings, If Jordin Wins:
Shmuel: 29
Frito: 26
Mo Pie: 25.5
TeKay: 22
Pam: 18.5
Mel: 17
Jesse: 16
Best of luck!

Actually, either way, this is the best I've ever done in your pool!
Posted by: mo pie at May 17, 2007 1:38 PMAlso, if I win, I want a damn mix CD. I have one of your mix cassettes still in constant rotation in my car. I DEMAND A SHMUEL MIX. It can not be mythical.
Posted by: mo pie at May 17, 2007 1:42 PMPretty much. I just mapped it out, and in every scenario but one, Mo Pie wins if Blake does, while Frito wins if Jordin does.
The exception is if Mo predicts that Jordin will win while Frito predicts Blake will win. In that one scenario, a win by Jordin is a win for Mo, while a win for Blake is a win for Frito.
This is not an implausible scenario. Choose wisely. :-)

Okay, so that may be a drastic measure, but the moment moved me. Tee hee hee.
Best of luck all! :)

That was supposed to say don't *sigh*
