Ranked by MissedTakes Score — how much better than a naive guess, not how often right. Someone who only ever picks the favorite lands near zero however high their accuracy climbs, which is the whole point of measuring it this way. The methodology explains the arithmetic. There is a ranking of publishers too, for when the byline is a masthead rather than a person.

Anyone with fewer than ten graded articles is left out of the numbered ranking. Thirty picks in one mock draft is one article, not thirty opinions, and counting it as thirty would be the quickest way to look established without having been tested.

behind these numbers

Nobody qualifies for the ranking yet

A prediction is graded once the season it describes has finished, so the ranking fills up as results land rather than as opinions are collected. Everything below is real and measured — it is just too thin to rank.

8 pundits have a graded record. The bar is ten graded articles.

Against the baseline

Everyone with a score, ranked or not. Zero means no better than a naive guess on the same claims — a pundit can be accurate and still land below it, if the calls were easy.

Building a record

Ordered by how much evidence there is, not by score — these samples are too thin to rank, and sorting them by result would be a ranking with a disclaimer on it.

Where the evidence is

Graded calls by kind of prediction. A record built entirely on one kind says less about a pundit than the same number spread across several.
