About this episode
The episode explores a comparison between Ryan Poles' draft decisions and the outcomes of simple Excel formulas.
This week on the SKOd we have the results of a long gestating experiment wherein Ryan Poles' 4 drafts do epic battle with 4 truly simple-minded robots (Excel formulas) ((Travis is an accountant, okay?!)) to see who comes out on top. How obvious have his good picks really been? Could he have honestly done much better on his bad picks? Who wins, man or machine?!
