The Current AP preseason poll is listed below. You pick one team that is overrated, and one team that is underrated. Any team not listed is considered to be ranked #26 (no matter how bad)
At the end of the season, you gain one point for every spot your overrated team drops. You lose one point...
Most of the time this is just me talking to myself. It's still good to document my feelings during the season.
So....this is the first year with a new head coach. We're running a more conventional offense. I literally have no clue how we will do this year. My prediction was 7-5. Maybe we...
All predictions are due by Saturday August 24 at 9pm.
I cannot stress this enough. I only want your predicted regular season record. Do not include conference championship games, bowl games, playoff games, etc. ONLY the regular season record. Anyone who tries to get cute and include any of...

Every world cup there are teams that really had no business being there. Of the 16 teams that failed to advance...which of them do you think were "chump" teams?
So, there's talk of the USA hosting a sort of NIT tournament for the countries that failed to qualify for the actual World Cup.
In theory, I'm kinda in favor of this. I bet we'd fill some seats and get some ratings. Plus it would be big punch in the eye to FIFA.
Anyone else want to weigh in?
After 5 weeks the teams should be "well connected". (Although not as well connected had Irma not cancelled some games)

I used rivals.com to look at the relative rankings of the ACC recruiting classes for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. Since there are 14 ACC teams each year their relative rankings would be 1 to 14. I then added the scores together for a "prediction" on how this year will go. Like golf, a low...

Last year I think I was the only person to post on the 2016 season thread. A whole lot of talking to myself. Let's see if I can keep the trend continuing this year.
Stoops retirement brings this to mind. Imagine someone had a briefcase (or small wheelbarrow) full of money. You get to keep the money, tax free, but you can never "work" again in your life. Any businesses that you own would still be yours but you would no longer be involved in any of the...

I think Duke is one of the teams we can beat this year. I flew up to Atlanta for the game. I haven't seen a game here in a few years and I miss the place.
