SEC Preview

Lol, this guy has us in the top 10, but to be fair, he had us at 6-6 and #44 last year.

Some pretty in depth stats though if you file through to your team.

Offseason

This is actually really cool. Lots of really in depth stuff here

What makes me question the numbers in that magazine is that he has LSU going 11-1 only losing to Alabama but has Auburn playing Tennessee in the SEC Championship game. How does that happen?

there's hedging your best and then there's hedging your bets.

This is one of the few publications I've seen that has the balls to pick the winner of every game week by week. I'm looking at that right now

And if you'd actually look at the digital preview you would see his rankings go much deeper than that.

I did look at it and I saw his explanation and that doesn't change that he is hedging his bets by listing 13 schools as #5 on the cover.

Also, he fricked up b/c they should all be listed as #2.

It doesn't happen. No tie breaker could make that happen.

And he has A&M no. 15 but finishing last in the West? How does that work?

If AU, Bama and LSU all went 11-1 with LSU losing to Bama and beating AU, and AU beating Bama, and AU being the highest ranked team in the polls, it could

I can't take a list like that serious with so many times tied for 5th.

You're right. Be tough to see y'all jumping us if it plays out that way. Who knows...

The preview I saw had the SECw finishing :

1Auburn
2LSU
2Bama
4A&M
5Ole Miss
6Arky
6MSST


Also he has several different rankings. He has rankings based on different algorithms and then his own personal rankings as well.

In his personal rankings he picked LSU second for example, but said that based on the equation they should go 11-1.

FWIW I think Bartoo does a great job.

Do I really need to waste time on his matrix that "predicts" LSU to only lose one game while he has them finishing 2nd in the division behind two loss Bama and Auburn? If he isn't going to go by his formula then what's the point?

It also has A&M losing to Ole Miss while also has Ole Miss losing to A&M. This shite is all over the place. Real big balls predicting game outcomes indeed.

Sorry man but this thing is all over the place and it looks like the dude is giving himself all kinds of leeway to be right no matter what.

Yeah, some pretty dumb people in this thread.

Did you look at the week by week predictions? I found those pretty interesting

I don't really care where he has UT ranked. I was just trying to post a detailed SEC preview, since most on here are insufferable fhaggots I'll just delete the link. EAD
