Garrett and I are going to might pick the top five games every week, simulate them on NCAA Football 2007 for the Xbox 360, and post the results here. Then we’ll compare the results to how things really turned out. So, for your amusement, here are the games we chose and their simulated results as they turned out on my version of the game:
Cal 27
Tennessee 10
Washington State 9
Auburn 49
USC 28
Arkansas 21
Miami 46
FSU 21
Notre Dame 49
Georgia Tech 10
Here are his results, which turned out differently than mine did. He has detailed write-ups, which I was a little too drunk for last night.
[...] Update: Rusty posted his results. His Xbox predicts fewer nail-biters, and predicted Cal to win over Tennessee. Let’s hope it’s right. Categories: Sports, Football, Video Games [...]
Miami will not beat FSU by 25 points. Sadly, Garrett’s results (24-23) seem eerily prescient. Particularly if it all comes down to a missed kick.
Obviously, I also hope the results turn out more like Garrett’s picks as well. Guess we’ll find out!
I can do it too if you would like. I can e-mail results to you or just post them within the thread. There’s finally some subject matter on this godforsaken receptacle for Georgia political feces that grabs my interest.
Do it!
Alrighty, following your lazy format of just giving the scores (which I would have done even if you hadn’t) here are the results:
Cal 28
Tennessee 17,
Washington State 10
Auburn 38,
USC 42
Arkansas 21,
Miami 34
FSU 0,
Notre Dame 38
Georgia Tech 16.
All of our sims seem pretty similar in score differential except Miami v. FSU. They all have the same end result.
I believe the only difference is Garrett has Tennessee beating Cal. Glad someone is optimistic.
I added the commas and the period to the results because your preview window didn’t show that it was going to recognize my spacing. Get your shit together Rusty!
Something got fucked up when I updated the blog from Wordpress 1.5 to 2.0, and I haven’t had time to fix it. Sorry if it displeases you.
34-0? Do the programmers of this game have Chris Rix still starting for FSU or what?
I can’t wait to see what you people come up with when you get Wiis.
It displeases me very much asshole! And…When I get a Wii we’ll be able to tell whether Kirby could kick Snake’s ass in the new Super Smash Brothers. Little more than that though.
I would like to add that I am very pleased with the innaccuracy of the 360’s prediction on our game. I would also like to say that I should have shown more faith in my beloved Vols as well. In my defense, they have given me little reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. One thing I will garuntee is that we WILL BEAT UGA.
Kirby with Snake powers. What the fuck.
Fuck all this football crap anyway. Lush, go get a PS2 and Guitar Hero. And get drunk. Really, really drunk.
