How each call scored
17 checkable claims — 11 sleeper calls, 5 depth chart calls and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 21 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
