Historically, doing well in or winning this contest always depends on who can go against the grain, buck the odds and pick the unlikely winners!

16 posters went with the "herd mentality" and chose the favored home teams!

Kudos to hc87, class83 and Crosser for picking Boston University over Loyola!!! You will all be announced and honored at halftime of this Saturday's game against Bucknell for your outstanding prescience!!!

Researchers discovered that it takes a minority of just five percent to influence a crowd’s direction — and that the other 95 percent follow without realizing it.

5% of the 19 who posted equals .95 and in this situation just 1 person. You are that 1 person who posted first and the other 95% of 19 equals 18.05, rounded to 18 posters.

15 of the 18 chose to follow your lead!!! Good work!!!
