Pac 10 predicting, and why ATQ should leave it to the experts

Ted Miller just looked back at his preseason Pac 10 standings so I thought it would be fun for AtQ to try it out. Way back on media day we had a predict the Pac 10 standings fanshot with about 12 people taking a stab at the final results. 10 of us went with USC as the winners of the pac, oops. Only BayDuck and Takimoto truly saw the future and gave Oregon the nod. And we were all pretty wrong.

Actual Pac 10 Standings

* - Oregon	8-1	10-2
* - Arizona	6-3	8-4
* - Oregon State	6-3	8-4
* - Stanford	6-3	8-4
* - USC	5-4	8-4
* - California	5-4	8-4
x - Washington	4-5	5-7
* - UCLA	3-6	6-6
x - Arizona State	2-7	4-8
x - Washington State	0-9	1-11

Nobody had Arizona in the top half, let alone second

And look at SC down there in fifth, amazing.

here is my prediction:

USC
Oreg
Cal
OS
Stan
UCLA
ASU
UA
WASH
WSU

Check back to the original Fanshot and see how you did.

Here’s how the Pac-10 SBNation bloggers predicted things. I submitted a top 10, but can’t find it now.

I think I went USC, Cal/Oregon, OSU, and then, I don’t recall.

That's good stuff

In retrospect its kind of funny, but it just goes to show how little all that preseason hype means.

Most of us sucked.

Where was my head on UCLA with all that crap on their roster they call quarterbacks? I underestimated Andrew Luck even after writing pre-season that Stanford could be pretty good. I don’t think anyone saw Nick Foles coming. Hell, Arizona didn’t even see Nick Foles coming.

Hey, take heart!

Look at Steele’s prediction:

1. USC
2 – 8. Other teams
9. WSU
10. Oregon

So you guys did better than him.

hahaha

From Conquest Chronicles:

Worst Case Scenario: USC loses the pac-10 because of some bone head lead loss in conference.

…or 4…

I nailed our conference record. So what if I had Arizona in ninth? Fuckin’ Nick Foles…
