Big 12 Predictions Reviewed

Well, I decided to look at my predictions from earlier in the year. The Yahoo! college pick 'em didn't work out well for me, either; there's a reason I'm an accountant and not a prognosticator.

Original predictions are at http://landthieves.blogspot.com/2007/08/big-12-south-preview.html and http://landthieves.blogspot.com/2007/07/big-12-north-predictions.html

disclaimer: trying google docs and posting; this could be ugly...

Big 12 north
Prediction	Actual	Upon further review
Nebraska	Missouri	I expected the jrs and srs at Nebraska to carry the team. Apparently the Huskers did, too, as they fired Callahan. Also, the curse of Warren Powers appears to have been lifted.
Colorado	Kansas	I was close on this one, but not really. I had considered slots 2-5 interchangeable, and the gap between 2 and 3-5 in the North was huge.
Kansas	Colorado	Colorado was really inconsistent this year; upsetting the Sooners and shutting down Tech, then losing to Kansas State and Iowa State.
Missouri	Kansas State	I was a wee bit off on the Tigers. Hats off to them.
Kansas State	Nebraska	I don't think anyone saw the Husker collapse coming.
Iowa State	Iowa State	I know a cellar dwellar when I see it. They actually did better than I thought they would.
Big 12 South
Prediction	Actual	Upon further review
Travis County Jail	Oklahoma	Two things make the difference here: a) underestimated the o-line losses by the 'horns; and b) Sam Bradford rarely played like a freshman.
Oklahoma	Travis County Jail	see above.
Boone State	Tie	I used an excel function to predict 3-5, as I saw the teams as interchangeable. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
Dust Pirates	Tie	see above.
Cash Machine U	Tie	see above.
Baylor	Baylor	I know a cellar dwellar when I see it.
