Okay, who would have predicted Colby Yates? Not me. Otherwise, not so bad.
Prediction: Silvano Alves to win it based on riding percentage.
Reality: Ouch. His first bull was his last.
Prediction: 12 qualified rides.
Reality: There were 13.
Prediction: High bull score of 47.
Reality: 47.75
Prediction: K93 not ridden.
Reality: He was not.
Prediction: 2 ninety-plus rides.
Reality: There were three.
Prediction: Shortest buckoff time of under one second.
Reality: 1.6 seconds
Prediction: Bushwacker ditches his rider faster than I'm a Gangster.
Reality: He did, but it was close.
New prediction: I won't get the big winner right next time either. Riders are hard to predict. And with the bracket format, one mistake, and whether you're a rider or a predictor, you are done for.
