Wherein this post has had more advance planning than LSU's offense apparently did last night.
The final tally is up over in the usual place. This year I managed to predict 24 games correctly. I honestly didn't think I was doing that well until I looked back over the index. I've been doing this since the 1999 season, and this is the best I've ever done by a pretty decent margin. With 24 games correct and 11 wrong, I had a winning percentage of 68.57%. The last time I broke 60% was in 2006, and before this year my previous best percentage was in 2004, with 64.29%.
So, yeah, go me! Too bad I didn't allocate my confidence points correctly on ESPN, but alas.
As we prepare to enter what will for sure be another turbulent offseason, I have to say this has been one of the strangest seasons I can remember. Unfortunately, this isn't due to anything that happened on the field (2007 still holds that title), but more because it felt like each scandal that broke this year was trying to top the next. First Ohio State surprised us, then Miami shocked us (well, that was more the extent; I doubt anyone was surprised that there was a scandal at Miami), but then Penn State did both and then some.
As per usual, this site will be more dormant over the next eight months, with occasional posts on soccer and baseball. But at some point the dust from various lawsuits will settle and everyone's out-of-conference schedules will be known. Then I will rank them and tell you about them, and then try to get a post up once a week detailing that weekend's games.
So, until then.
Quick addendum: apparently this is my 400th post on this website. Thanks for reading!
