I'm soooo happy. I am already celebrating my co-title of being "THE BIGGEST LOOSER".
The results so far have been a big present to the fans from a hard working group of players and coaches.
Replacing Hass and KI, plus the preseason injury to Cyril, I thought were a big obstacle to a twenty win season.
Boy, I am happy I was wrong.

With the URI record at 19-3 and seven games remaining, 41 participants (out of original 87) remain standing in the contest though some are on shaky ground. Here are the combos of overall record and conference record that still have a shot, with number of participants in that situation in parenthesis:
1. 26-3, 16-2 (1)
2. 25-4, 16-2 (1)

I must never have filed my prediction. I was in around the 22-7/21-8 mark. I predicted they'd be 8-3 non conf and either 13-5 or 14-4 in conference. Perhaps I couldn't decide and never entered it. I figured they'd go undefeated at home, lose at Dayton, VCU, SBU, and one or two others. At this point I hope I'm wrong. I can't see them losing another home game (though Dayton and Davidson will both be a challenge and Richmond won't be a walkover especially they way they are playing and it's an 8:30 pm game, so I don't expect a large crowd). SBU and Davidson on the road will definitely be our toughest remaining games. The Reilly Center at SBU is going to be insane a week from Friday and the crowd at Davidson will be fired up even if we aren't 17-0 when we get there, but especially if we are.

With the URI win over Richmond, the Rams' record moves to 21-3. Many of those in the 20-9 cluster had already been eliminated due to mismatch with OOC record prediction, but the win caused the official elimination of the one left standing in the 20-9 cluster, URIFIJI.

There are several people remaining in the contest, but here are the projected winners in each of the remaining overall record clusters. The most accurate team scoring will determine the winner of contest, except in the case of the 25-4 cluster where there is only one bettor so that tiebreaker is not applicable.
@ 25-4, the winner is Kingston.

Seawrightspostgame is clearly the most optimistic poster with his 26-3 prediction. The most pessimistic predictions of 18-11 were made by three posters which if realized means no NCAA post season for the Rams.
For readability, I have clustered the predictions, first by overall record, then by A-10 record, and then by teams scoring sequenced from highest to lowest. Please review summary and let me know if there are errors. I get a bit crossed eyed putting this together.
Good luck to all and thanks for the terrific response and good wishes.
NOTE: Ties do not affect the overall contest, but the two bonus contests are so impacted. A few people have submitted duplicates and have not responded to private messages to make corrections. I have noted the duplicates in this summary. If they want to qualify they must send corrections to me via private message, since the opening thread is now locked.
