Predictions, Prognostications, and I Told Ya So's! (2016 Version)

[rkwittem]

Normally AuburnAlumni has this done by now, but he hasn't so I took the liberty of doing so. I basically just copied his stuff verbatim, so it's all his idea.

Ok so here is how this works...

You make a post answering the following questions. (Copy and paste the questions below into your reply)

We then revisit the thread at season's end and see just how right (or wrong) you were in your selections.


1. YOUR FAVORITE TEAM WILL FINISH WITH WHAT RECORD?







2. YOUR CONFERENCE'S FINAL STANDINGS WILL BE? (INCLUDE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME PARTICIPANTS AND OVERALL CONFERENCE CHAMP)





3. THE FINAL FOUR PLAYOFF TEAMS WILL BE?



4. THE HEISMAN TROPHY WILL GO TO?



5. THE NATIONAL CHAMPION WILL BE?



6. YOUR TEAM'S BREAK OUT PLAYER WILL BE?



7. YOUR NATIONAL CINDERELLA TEAM WILL BE? (TEAM THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE TO HAVE A SPECTACULAR SEASON)



8. MAKE ONE GUARANTEED "YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST" PREDICTION ON THE 2015 SEASON. IT COULD BE A MAJOR UPSET, PLAYER WHO WILL WIN A NATIONAL AWARD, COACH THAT GETS FIRED, ETC.

Amoo, you came so close to being right and I'm afraid it's as close as you're gonna get for a long long while.

I'm going all in. In years past I've kept my nose in the ground but LSU is too loaded for me to play it down. Let's get stupid with it. Being humble never did anything for anybody ever.

**** a breakout player, almost every starter is coming back. I dunno, give me Devin White

7. YOUR NATIONAL CINDERELLA TEAM WILL BE? (TEAM THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE TO HAVE A SPECTACULAR SEASON)

Pitt. They won't win the ACC and they'll play some ugly football, but they'll be able to play well enough that the winner of their game with UNC plays in the ACC title game and will make a pretty prestigious bowl game.

8. MAKE ONE GUARANTEED "YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST" PREDICTION ON THE 2015 SEASON. IT COULD BE A MAJOR UPSET, PLAYER WHO WILL WIN A NATIONAL AWARD, COACH THAT GETS FIRED, ETC.

SEC West will replace three coaches: Malzahn and Sumlin are gonna get ****canned and Mullen will jump ship.

Sean White, a pro style passer, will flunk out of Auburn's spread system and Auburn boosters will call for Malzahn's head even though they were the ones that pressured the staff to go after White because Alabama was recruiting him.

Mullen will realize he's reached the ceiling at Miss State and leave in the middle of the night for the first job near the same level that pops up.

Ryan Switzer won't win the Heisman or get the talk that goes along with it but he'll be the best player nobody talks about and sneak away with the Biletnikoff.

Ole Miss' sanctions aren't going to nearly as bad as they should be IF the story about Laquan Treadwell I heard doesn't come to light and is proved to be true. If it does, they're in for a world of hurt.

Oklahoma State will make the jump and steal the B12. They'll do it with some luck but I can see them tripping up OU in Bedlam and then taking advantage of TCU stumbling elsewhere (like Baylor!).

Re: Predictions, Prognostications, and I Told Ya So's! (2016 Version)

Never make predictions with your favorite team, it's basically a jinx. So I will make my predictions with my most hated team because I would like to jinx them. They shamed us in Dallas because Bob/Mark Stoops gotta Bob/Mark Stoops.

So I present the sixth best college football team in Texas for 2015, the Tea Sippers below the Brazos, the Longhorns of Texas (Austin Campus).


1. YOUR LEAST FAVORITE TEAM WILL FINISH WITH WHAT RECORD?

2-9

Sept. 4: NOTRE DAME - Bring back ties. My hatred of the Irish rivals my hatred of Texas. At some point Texas will perform a lateral that will go extensively wrong and end up in the back of the end zone. ND 2 - UT 0.

Sept. 10: UTEP - UTEP confuses the Longhorns by completing a forward pass. Swoopes is so confused by this he tweets his followers at the half to see if they are aware that you can throw the ball past the line of scrimmage. UTEP 10 - UT 0.

Sept. 17: at California: It warms my heart to see any D Y K E S family member kicking the crap out of Texas. Bezerkly 28 - UT 0

Oct. 1: at Oklahoma State UT 0 - T Boone Pickens Donations 27

Oct. 8: I think there is a state fair in Texas that week. That is all.

Oct. 15: IOWA STATE A revenge for Texas game with a twist. ISU 56 - UT negative 3

Oct. 22: at K-State UT 0 - Wizard 50 Snyder sends letter to every Longhorn player, telling them to never give up and hopefully they will find the right sport to participate in.

Oct. 29: BAYLOR Every dog has it's day and that day comes against the hypocrites from Waco. UT 14 - Baptist University? 0

Nov. 5: at Texas Tech If the dust ever settled in Lubbock you would see the final score. UT 0 - Tortilla U 45

Nov. 12: WEST VIRGINIA West Virginia burns 35 couches - UT burns 0 couches


Nov. 19: at Kansas I hate Texas but really? It's Kansas. UT 10 - Rock Chalk, Shutout

Nov. 24: TCU Two in row? No. TCU 35 - Texas 6

UTEP surpasses Texas to become the 6th best team in the state for 2016. Longhorn Network now has 23 hours of Austin City Limits replays and 1 hour to Longhorn Sports. Ratings triple.

6. YOUR TEAM'S BREAK OUT PLAYER WILL BE?

Break out implies that he's not already a baller/All-American so that rules out Jabrill Peppers. Rashan Gary is too easy. I'll go with Taco Charlton. Already a key contributor and I think he makes a leap into early round NFL draft pick consideration ala Frank Clark.


7. YOUR NATIONAL CINDERELLA TEAM WILL BE? (TEAM THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE TO HAVE A SPECTACULAR SEASON)

I would say Iowa, but they're not coming out of nowhere. Same with Tennessee. Texas sort of fits the bill if they can win the Big 12.


8. MAKE ONE GUARANTEED "YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST" PREDICTION ON THE 2016 SEASON. IT COULD BE A MAJOR UPSET, PLAYER WHO WILL WIN A NATIONAL AWARD, COACH THAT GETS FIRED, ETC.

There will be 5 or 6 deserving teams (including two 1-loss SEC teams) for the 4-team playoff and the call to expand the playoff will become so loud that it expands to 6 or 8 teams for 2017.

I also think that Michigan State will underperform in a big way this season, with a ~7-5 record.

Re: Predictions, Prognostications, and I Told Ya So's! (2016 Version)

LSU and FSU both run the table, split the championship. Dalvin and Fournette get the Heisman every other week.

DON'T ASK ME HOW

Only partially kidding as I believe they meet in the playoffs undefeated and my heart explodes, couldn't even think of who would win.
