methumps must have a law school exam or maybe he is studying for the bar. The question would be which bar. Maybe he is still moving. They are pretty slow out there:) Maybe he is prepping Bush and you don't even have to ask which one

Quick Hits
1. This appears to be the toughest week so far for predictions. The best predictions for the Sanchez+Mustain, Johnson, Pryor, and Beanie categories were the lowest or second-lowest prediction. On the flip side, Bradford exceeded every prediction.

2. I am considering changes to the scoring methodology. Specifically, I might increase the bonuses for being closest and for exact guesses. I may also put a cap on each category so that one bad guess doesn’t wreck an entire ballot. Input is welcome and appreciated.

3. Bonus category leaders: gregorylee (BP) and ssbusc (SC).
