    I'd say you're in first place. Good job.
    did anyone do better?

    This was a highly amusing thread to go back and read.

    Pretty amazingly bad prognostication on our part, but who could have seen the Mexico implosion and the resultant points distribution across the rest of the teams that altered the more likely scenario of Mexico matching our win at home, tie on the road (except in the US-Mexico fixtures). Most of us correctly predicted that Honduras and CR would make up the other two qualifiers and half-qualifiers, we just saw them battling it out for 3rd and 4th.

    I'm not sure how to judge "better", but I had #2, #5, and #6 right; #1 in #3, #3 in #4, and #4 in #1. Way off on points for some teams.

    Pretty good. but i think Auto's guesses are best so far. Getting USA first was a gutsy call back in Feb.

    I add up how many points you were off on each team, with the lowest number being the best. AutoPenalti was 31 points off. In my prediction contest the range was 24 to 50, putting AutoPenalti better than average. TrueCrew was 24 points off by predicting the following:

    Mexico 21
    USA 19
    Costa Rica 16
    Honduras 9
    Panama 8 (better goal differential than Panama)
    Jamaica 8

    I also looked at how your rankings for the teams were and added that to the points off component. TrueCrew had the best sum of those two parts. Nobody in my contest was correct about the ranking for more than three teams, but AutoPenalti was correct about four teams. Even factoring that in, in my contest TrueCrew would have earned more points than AutoPenalti.

    I don't see any predictions by TrueCrew here. are you talking about a different poll?
