Well, since you've called me out, I regrettably will share my ranking technique with you. It involves a Guinness hat, 32 strips of paper, and a four year old who would rather be doing something else. For full transparancy you can observe the process right here.

She does but it's mostly My Little Pony rants. I keep telling her she needs to monetize and she's all 'dad, I want juice'. Kids these days.

That's pretty awesome. Is she going to pick again this week?

Maybe after her nap. If you can front some juice boxes. We may do it again tomorrow. She's got an inflated ego right now and I think she needs a reality check

This your daughter or Dodds we talking about?

 

[CapnJB]

I see what you did there.

If your daughter is serious about this she'll need to save her allowance and buy a

That is awesome. Kudos to your daughter, probably the best week 3 QB predictor in the country.

Last week my daughter drew names from a hat ranking the top 12 QBs for week 3. Dodds had 4 of his top 12 finish in the top 12 and Little Girl was 6 for 12. But the more interesting things was this:

So... 1 point for Little Girl.

I think it was beginners luck so she picked again today. And just to prove that I'm not using a robot Genie, here is the process. She had, however, just woken up from a nap and was a little groggy. So I think Dodds ties it up this week.

Week 4 Top 12 QBs

1. Joe Flacco

2. Sam Bradford

3. Matt Cassel

4. Matt Ryan

5. Russel Wilson

6. Carson Palmer

7. Jake Locker

8. Matt Stafford

9. Robert Griffon III

10. Matt Shaub

11. Eli Manning

12. Drew Brees

Better eat your vegetables, Dodds.

(and for the record, this is just for fun and I'm in no way intending to put down Dodds and all the effort he puts into to his work)

Please post week 4 picks in here because the humorless mods didn't get the point and deleted the other thread. TIA.

Don't post Dodds picks until next week, but the mods should have much thicker skin than to lock and delete multiple threads on the topic. I'm not ready to pick my lineup by pulling names out of a hat, but I found the concept entertaining, and mildly informative. I just wish there was a mechanism for reporting mods.

 

[Sarnoff]

I still think it's funny that people use rankings instead of projections. If the difference between #6 and #18 is 1.7 points, then complaining that a guy did or didn't finish in the top-10 is pretty dumb.

Yes. But your staff deleted it. Crass.
