***Official Revisiting of Annual Preseason Predictions (4th annual running)

First, I would like to report that WG_Dawg is doing fine and is in good spirits, all things considered. He refuses to give the sexy sig I made him for the UGA/GT game any new exposure, so he's asked me to post this for him. He's taking time off until after the NCG. Lift up prayers for his recovery.
But it's that time of year where we revisit our preseason regular season predictions and see how every fanbase came in.

Why did people think losing James Franklin would not mean Vandy goes sub 500?

over half the league guessed within 1 game of reality, not too shabby.
And LOL at Carolina.

Pretty accurate outside of about 2-4 teams

So many people told me I was an idiot for saying Vandy was going to dumpster hard.
Still can't believe how hard the Cocks have flopped. That program is in a tough spot now.
TN fans were damn close, the 1pt loss to UF cost us a + delta.

Fix South Carolina's too. 10.5-6=4.5
Not 5.5.

Also fixed USC for same reason. Those 10.5 win predictions are my arithmetic kryptonite.

whoopsies, I predicted us 10-2. Guess I was a little off 
I was expecting the defense to be stout again, which it basically was for the most part, but man I did not see us being that bad on offense....again.
