So I threw all of our predictions into a spreadsheet (typical SFC move, I know). I only included people who posted whole conferences so that we get a full representation of everyone's predictions. Twenty people submitted predictions (I forgot, whoops), but Ferda only picked the West, so we have 20 Western Conference predictions and 19 Eastern Conference predictions. If you submitted multiple predictions, I just took your latest set.
The spreadsheet is here.
The first tab tabulates everyone's picks into an overall HFB forum prediction; we can see how that compares to everyone's individual predictions at the end of the season. The "Score" column is just a ranking of teams based on how many times they were picked in each slot, with 10 points for 1st, 9 points for 2nd, etc., all the way down to 1 point for 10th. It's a bit of a crude metric (it puts Peterborough over Missy in the East even though Missy has more first-place votes because of a few outlier Missy 7th predictions), but I think it works well enough for our purposes.
The second tab contains each poster's individual predictions, so Wolfman knows who to insult first when Sudbury wins the league. Feel free to review your picks to make sure I copied them correctly. I also tried to add everyone's favourite team to their list so we can see how badly we all overrate our own teams (or underrate if you're a Kitchener fan) at the end of the year, and how much our overall sample is skewed by different fanbases. OHL insideout, From Up Top, and Brock, I wasn't sure on your favourite teams. Feel free to volunteer that information and I'll add it to the spreadsheet. (Also, if I got your favourite team wrong, let me know--and I'm deeply, deeply sorry.)
At the end of the season, I'll tally up a score for everyone and we can all talk about what a genius predictor EON is. Good luck to all!
EDIT: Spreadsheet was set to private. Whoops. Everyone should be able to see it now.
