    About #5... Is being ranked, say, #8, considered "over" or "under" being ranked #12.5?

    Confused me there for a second, but just treat it as any other. If you say "under" 12.5, that means they would rank somewhere in the top 12 teams defensively (meaning a better defensive team).

    Or at least the right answers posted at the end of the season or some other mechanism to easily see how everyone did. Over/under isn't very fun without results!

    It's probably not too hard to program such a feature to use vB logins.
