Year end review in Blue
Predictions:
AAC - No good teams here, Cincinnati is my pick but whoever wins the conference has least 3 losses
Three way tie with Memphis (10-3), Cincy (9-4) & UCF (9-4) All three were 9-3 going in to the bowls games.
ACC - Florida St. v. Virginia Tech = FSU Blow out in Championship Game
I was half right, and we all know what happened to VT. I picked the wrong Tech and should have stuck with the triple option.
Big 12 - Baylor, Oklahoma is over rated, has 3 losses, maybe 4
ONE TRUE CHAMPIONS!!! Baylor was correct, half correct if you count TCU as co-champion :dumb: And Oklahoma finished 8-5, 8-4 in the reg. season. I don't drink the Stoops kool-aid, just if I can learn not to drink the Spurrier kool-aid.
Big Ten - MSU v. Iowa = MSU winners
Happily wrong on this one! MSU was the second best team in the Big Ten and I also drank the Frentz kool-aid.
Conference USA - Western Ky v. La Tech = La Tech
It was Marshall vs. La. Tech with the Thundering Herd coming out on top.
MAC - Toledo v. BG = BG wins a shoot out
So Close. NIU beat Toledo by 3 for their only conference loss and giving us a NIU vs. BG Mac Championship. NIU then trounced B.G.
MWC - Fresno St. v. Boise St. = Fresno St.
Got this one right! but then Fresno St. (6-6) lost to Boise St. in the MWC championship, was still allowed to go to a bowl and lost to Rice and finished with a 6-8 record. :no:
Pac 12 - Oregon vs. Arizona St = Oregon
It came down to ASU vs. Zona to play Oregon and Zona won. Then Oregon got revenge in a 51-13 beat down.
SEC - South Carolina v. Bama = South Carolina w/ 2 losses
I drank the Ole Ball Coaches kool-aid and I'm ashamed of it. That other school located in Columbia played Bama, but not very well.
Sun Belt - Troy
Georgia Southern went 8-0 in conference, 9-3 but couldn't go bowling because this was their transition year.
Playoff
1. FSU v. 4. MSU & 2. South Carolina v. 3. Baylor
1. FSU v. 3. Baylor = Famous Jamies steals the show, and some more crab legs
FSU was the only team of the 4 I got right.
Pac 12 gets left out because Oregon will have 2 losses just like South Carolina but SEC. Big 12 Champions left out.
Independents:
Army 4-8 Right on the money
BYU 7-5 8-5 with their bowl loss, pretty close
Navy 6-6 8-5 with their bowl win,
Notre Dame 8-4 Finished 8-5 with their bowl win over LSU
Randoms:
Army finally beats Navy, Air Force wins the Commander-in-Chiefs trophy
Nave beat Army, Air Force won the CiC
BG puts a scare into Wisconsin on Sept. 20 for a half, maybe 3 quarters
Fresno St. Beats USC or Nebraska, or both
Both of these did not happen.
