Yeah, this one's gonna hurt. With my luck, GTA wins in a nailbiter, taking me off the leaderboard, losing me money in spread betting, and having a relatively low score here.

Match #9 Results
Super Mario Bros. 92.21%
Madden NFL 7.79%

Yesterday Super Mario Bros. exceeded already high expectations against the long running but not loved Madden series. The 92.21% victory was the biggest blowout since Snake/Tanner, and the third biggest blowout of all time. Mario Bros. also became the second contest entrant ever to bring in more than 100,000 votes, breaking the record set 8 days ago by The Legend of Zelda. Could Mario be a real threat to Final Fantasy? Today all 164 predictions were for Mario and the consensus was Mario with 86.14%. The average score was 43.60%.

Best Five Picks:
1) Pats_Dynasty - Super Mario Bros. 92.21% (+50.00)
2) swirldude - Super Mario Bros. 92.11% (+49.90)
3) Jecht - Super Mario Bros. 92.04% (+49.83)
4) Big Bob - Super Mario Bros. 92.00% (+49.79)
4) red sox 777 - Super Mario Bros. 92.00% (+49.79)

Today's best predictor is Pats_Dynasty, with a perfect prediction! This is his first top 5 prediction ever, and also the first perfect prediction since the Ganondorf/Auron match last summer. The second highest scoring prediction belongs to swirldude, marking his 8th ever top 5 prediction. Jecht has the third best prediction, also his first ever top 5. Tied for fourth are Oracle newcomer Big Bob and veteran red sox 777, with his 22nd ever top 5 prediction.

3) RPGuy96 - 415.99
4) Xuxon - 415.66
5) basmeyer42 - 414.28

Yoshifan823 is the new leader in the Oracle Standings! Yoshifan takes over first from Lightbearer, who drops down to second today. Lightbearer had been in first for the last two days, and is now 1.73 points behind, plenty close for a comeback. RPGuy jumps onto the leaderboard in third place, but trails yoshifan by over 13 points, giving the top two a comfortable margin over the rest of the pack. Xuxon holds steady in fourth place for the third day in a row. Finally, basmeyer42 returns to the leaderboard after a three day absence.

Top Team Scores:
1) Team lol xstats - 97.64 (yoshifan823: +49.34 / BlAcK TuRtLe: +48.30)
2) Team Organization II - 97.02 (SuperSmash Master: +47.23 / Big Bob: +49.79)
3) Team Auto-Lose - 96.20 (Ed Bellis: +48.99 / Explicit Content: +47.21)
4) Team 42 - 95.92 (swirldude: +49.90 / therealmnm: +46.02)
5) Team Nebuchadnezzar - 95.74 (Shivan Reincarnated: +45.91 / Jecht: +49.83)

The highest scoring team of the day is Team lol xstats, who've been consistently predicting well this contest. Both members of the team scored over 48 points to give themselves the top combined score. Second is team Organization II with SuperSmash Master and Big Bob. This is their first day in the team top 5. Team Auto-Lose continues to not live up to their name, placing third in today's standings after taking first yesterday. The fourth place team is Team 42 (swirldude and therealmnm), who still need to think up a name for their team. Finally, Jecht and Shivan Reincarnated's Team Nebuchadnezzar has the fifth best score of the day thanks to Jecht's excellent prediction.

4) Team 55 (Sir Chris / The n00b Avenger) - 812.68
5) Team Umbrella Corporation (FFDragon / Luis_Sera89) - 805.14

Team mvp's completes its slow climb up the leaderboard today by overtaking Team No Probalo! for first place! Team lol xstats is close behind, and will be trying to reclaim the lead that they lost 4 days ago. Yesterday's leader No Probalo! (Lagoona and Xuxon) has dropped 4 points back but remains in third place. Sir Chris and The n00b Avenger's Team 55 hangs on to fourth place for second day in a row while Team Umbrella Corporation (FFDragon and Luis_Sera89) remain in fifth for the third day in a row.

I think this is the first time ever I've gone against my bracket pick with my Oracle pick (when it was the same two competitors facing each other). Looks like it's to screw me.

Oh well, at least the series I voted for is going to win. (I'm a GTA hater)
