Right
Bama 12-0
LSU would not be top 10 as predicted by some
Florida would win the East
Fournette would not win Heisman, or even be close to it.
Wrong
Barnett would win Bama starting job
Tennessee would contend
Ole Miss would be runner-up in West
Bama back would win Heisman (this was tongue in cheek
)

I correctly predicted that a radio host would secure the open LSU job for Ed Orgeron.

6th in the West maybe. I'm calling BS on that. Most national predictions had Auburn 5-6 in the West at best.

Right: MSU would NOT be last in the West Division
Wrong: MSU would beat South Alabama. And Kentucky. And BYU.

Corrected. I must have dreamed it.

Right:
- Fitz begins to replace Dak. In the end he led SEC in total offense, only needs 5 TD's to break his SS record. All of this while missing a complete game due to splitting time early.
- Aeris Williams emerges as an elite RB.
Both took longer than I expected.
Wrong:
- Thought defense would immediately improve after staff changes.
- Thought there was no way we won fewer than 7 games. Everything that could go wrong, did.
- Thought OL would be our weak link. They really came along and were dominant by the end of the year.

Told everyone OM was over rated. Told exactly they're record and that the team would implode at the first adversity. The phony HC is lost and has no answers. It'll only get worse. He is openly searching for other jobs. He's trying to abandon the sinking ship. It's his character.
Mullen bent him over and hurt him. Then left him there, arse up with his pants around his ankles. He just wanted it to end. After Mullens dominance over the Rebs, Freeze is giving up. He owns them now. OM is now the bottom of the conference. Under every other team even in recruiting.

I believe you, at a quick glance every single post you've made is about Ole Miss. You really need to get a life.

Right about UTk being pathetic.

Right - Vandy would finish 6-6 (though the way they got there was not exactly what I expected).
Wrong - Tennessee would win the east and give Bama a fit in the title game.

He needs Sandra Bullock back. Can't "win" without her.

Right:
- Georgia would underachieve
- Auburn would contend in SEC West
- Texas A&M 8-4 (sure-bet every year)
- Alabama
- Washington to win PAC-12
Wrong
- Tennessee to finish in top 10
- LSU's talent to overcome inept coaching and finish in top 10
- Florida St. to finish top 10
- Wisconsin to be 8-4

Right
That DL would be the strength of AU's defense
AU would be fine at RB
Tennessee was over hyped
Aggies would fall apart late again
Wrong
John Franklin would eventually be the starter
TJ Neal would be one of our top 2 tacklers
Bama would drop a game due to QB play
South Carolina would not sniff a bowl
Ole Miss was the 2nd best team in the SEC ()
SEC would be a strong conference
I think biggest surprise for me is how bad overall the SEC has been. AU/LSU/UF are battling for that 2-4 spot and all 3 have lost out of conference and had some pretty spotty performances but also some breakout ones. I feel like QB play has been the main cause. The few guys that have shown talent seem to have gotten hurt: Sean White, Trevor Knight, Chad Kelly, Luke Del Rio, Austin Allen.
Been a weird year in the SEC. I don't think this is the best Bama team Saban has put out there but nobody has had the combination of a good enough QB with solid enough defense to hang in all 4 quarters & punish Hurts mistakes. This has definitely been Saban's best big play defense with it's ability to score so consistent early this season while the offense worked it's kinks out

There were a few LSU fans wrong about something: They thought I was actually Jeremy Foley.
