About halfway through the season
I made some predictions on the conference races. Let's see how I did.
ACC
Rodent's pick: North Carolina over Boston College
Reality: Florida State over North Carolina
Big-12
Rodent's pick: Iowa State
Reality: Iowa State
Big East
Rodent's pick: West Virginia
Reality: West Virginia
Big Ten
Rodent's pick: Michigan over Indiana
Reality: Ohio State over Michigan
Conference USA
Rodent's pick: Tulsa over Southern Miss
Reality: Tulsa over Southern Miss
MAC
Rodent's pick: Ball State over Buffalo
Reality: Buffalo over Ball State
Mountain West
Rodent's pick: Boise State
Reality: Colorado State
PAC-12
Rodent's pick: Stanford over USC
Reality: Stanford over Arizona State
SEC
Rodent's pick: South Carolina over Arkansas
Reality: Mississippi State over South Carolina
Sun Belt
Rodent's pick: Florida International
Reality: Middle Tennessee
WAC
Rodent's pick: Louisiana Tech
Reality: Louisiana Tech
Independents
Rodent's pick: BYU makes the playoffs
Reality: BYU made (and won) the playoffs
How'd I do:
Division champions: 8/12 picks correct
Conference champions: 5/11 picks correct
Total: 13/23 (plus the BYU pick makes 14/24 correct)
But check this out, during my
news release about how ridiculous the preseason rankings were, I had Texas coach Mack Brown tweeting that Texas would go 3-9. Check out Texas' record. 3-9. Is that weird or what?
I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me.
