Brad’s College Football Season in Review- Conference Predictions

Posted by deaconcat08 on January 18, 2010

Each season I evaluate my preseason conference picks and compare them to the experts ranking (average of Phil Steele, Athlon, CBS Sports, The Sporting News, and College Football Poll).  I was more accurate than the experts average in 2007 but lost badly last year.  This year I once again outforecasted the experts as you will see in the blog entries below.  Here is a quick summary of all the results:

 BCS Teams: Experts 26, Brad 25

All 1-A Teams: Brad 49, Experts 42

BCS Conferences: Brad 2 (ACC, Pac-10), Experts 1 (Big 12); note: we tied in our predictions for the 3 other BCS conferences

All 1-A Conferences: Brad 5 (ACC, Pac-10, C-USA, MAC, MWC), Experts 3 (Big 12, WAC, Sun Belt)
