Crazy, right? This is well documented – “the wisdom of the crowds”. I’ve always thought it was a cool way to look at things.
It’s like academia and test scores – they almost always follow a normal distribution. It just happens.

What was the consensus on wins and losses this year based on the poll you created? Would be interesting to revist at seasons end. I bet it’s +/- 1 game.
