Expert Model Consensus Rankings: The Masters

As we started doing last week, I ran some reports on how we did with our ranking compared to the actual results.  Nicely done this week, Mr. Noonan. Pat may be pulling up the rear this week, but he did bet J.J. Spaun, and I’d take the money over winning the Mean Absolute Error contest that week.
