I forgot who the previous host was, but will this be done again?

I'm not talking about the BOP. Instead, voters simply vote on probability of the outcome of each match, and the results would be averaged. For instance:

Mario vs. Bowser - 100%
Ike vs. Black Knight - 70%
etc.

In other words, the person who voted believed Mario vs. Bowser had no chance of losing, while team Ike had a 70% of winning.

I liked that project since it gave perspectives that the BOP could not provide. For instance, voters on average believed New Super Mario Bros. had only a 55-60% of getting past Marvel vs. Capcom 2, while the BOP and Guru suggested that NSMB had an 80-90% (somewhere around there) chance of victory.

Don't remember who the previous host was either, but it was a great idea. I don't remember what the results were last time, but my intuitive feeling is that people usually underrate the probability of upsets.
