so what's your point?

So we haven't been picked last in the west since at least mullen's 1st year and never finished last under Mullen, yet with a senior dak, we are going to do it this year.

Was curious about how the predictions compared to actual results and found a site that had done it. I thought some here might be curious as well.

With the exception of last year, they have been pretty accurate as to our position. The best finish for a last place predicted team is 4th. Yet another record for us to break?

They have been incredibly bad at predicting Auburn.

Not really. They nailed the last place team 4 of 5 years, the only one they missed was picking OM last one year and they finished 5th (understandable mistake they were usually last and I think AU crapped the bed that year).
But thanks for putting it up.

not bad accuracy, at all.....
