Why Prediction Failed |
1. Florida State |
12-0 (8-0) National Champions |
10-1 (7-1) |
Plus one win vs. Georgia Tech |
2. Virginia Tech |
11-1 (7-0) |
10-1 (7-0) |
Plus one win vs. Virginia |
3. Wisconsin |
10-2 (7-1) |
10-1 (7-1) |
Plus one loss vs. Cincinnati |
4. Nebraska |
12-1 (8-1) |
9-2 (6-2) |
Plus one win; plus a Footlong Championship win |
5. Alabama |
10-3 (8-1) Suck East Champions |
10-2 (7-2) Suck East West Champions |
Plus one conference win |
6. Michigan |
10-2 (6-2) |
10-1 (8-0) Big 10 1/2" Champions |
Plus one loss, losses to *snicker* Michigan State and *guffaw* Illinois |
7. Michigan State |
10-2 (6-2) |

9. Florida |

8-3 (6-2) |
Plus one win pre-Suck East Championship |
10. Stanford |
8-4 (7-1) |
3-8 (2-6) |
Now I know that if a team returns 90 players from a 99 man
roster, they're going to do alright. |
11. Tennessee |
9-3 (6-2) |
9-2 (6-2) |
Dead on prediction!! |
12. Georgia |

12-0 (8-0) |
My longshot National Champion Runners-up just weren't good enough |
13. Texas |
9-5 (6-3) |
10-2 (6-2) |
Losses because of outside influences. Footlong Championship: unnecessary game. Kansas State: luck. Texas A&M: Emotion |
14. Purdue |
7-5 (4-4) |
5-6 (3-5) |
Drew Brees led the way and should have won more |

10-2 (7-1) |
