Wrong:
I was way off on SC at the beginning of the season. I thought they would beat A&M and then lose to us handily...

I thought Kenny Hill was going to be a force to be reckoned with the entire season.

I thought Mizzou would have a little bit of a down year after losing as many star players as they did.

I didn't see the Mississippi teams having as much success as they did. I was WAY off on the Bama-Ole Miss game.

I thought Amari Cooper or Todd Gurley would win the Heisman.

Right:
I got the 4 playoff teams right.

I thought Arkansas had the talent to compete with any team in the West.

I thought UGA's offensive line would be one of the better ones in the SEC.


What about y'all?

Right : Correctly predicted that Tennessee would go 6-6 and sign another top 5 class.





Wrong : I thought we would lose to SC, and beat UF.


Really thought Mizzou was done, it's over.

I was about right on most things.

However... when I was wrong I was most assuredly wrong.

I had the Aggies pegged as my dark horse candidate to make the playoffs and I thought that USCe would win the East. I also thought that State would have a big drop off and finish around .500 for the season. I was just off a wee bit on those three.

My worst misfire was probably saying Sparty would smoke Oregon in Eugene.

Right:

South Carolina was overrated

A&M Would have a down year

Tennessee would make a bowl game

Ole Miss would beat Bama

Wrong:

UGA would win the east easily

Florida would rebound

A B1G team wouldn't make the playoffs

I know it's a tangent and not on topic directly but I have to say UGA's oline last year was a thing of beauty when it came to run blocking. They opened holes so wide that your RBs looked all alone on the field. I haven't seen run blocking like that since some of Fulmer's monster run blocking OLs.

I know something that 99% of UG & UT fans definitely got wrong.

Wrong about A&M, Georgia and bama... I would link it, but I don't wanna search my posts about LSU, I said we would beat them easily...

Just sticking to "large" is an understatement.

It was an underrated reason for how good Gurley and Chubb were last year. They opened up some massive holes in the Clemson game, especially in the fourth quarter. I've only seen a UGA line maul an opponent like that once, and that was the 2009 GT game.

Right
1. FSU would go undefeated into the playoff
2. Hutson Mason would cost UGA at least one game
3. Hoke would be fired and Harbaugh would be the next Michigan coach

Wrong:
1. Michigan State would smoke Oregon in Eugene on their way to the playoff
2. Brett Hundley would take the next step and UCLA would win the Pac 12
3. Oklahoma would get over their big game problems, finally play up to their talent level and coast through the Big 12

Predicted all of Lsu's games right except miss st and ND.

Thought State would win the egg bowl.

Thought the west would cannibalize itself and none of them would make the playoff.

Originally picked tOSU to win it all, then thought Oregon after Braxton went down.

Thought Georgia was gonna win east (Edited good catch MIZ_COU)

Thought Arkansas was gonna win more than they did.

Right:
I predicted that Brandon Harris would be the starter before mid-season

Wrong:
I thought he would stay the starter.

Right before the Rose Bowl semi I said, "Florida State is gonna destroy Oregon"

I got lucky on that one. I'd have picked Sparty as well to be honest, but a good friend of mine is a huge Oregon fan so I didn't predict it. For which I am duly thankful.
