2009 Pre-Season predictions

[MNclone]

Now that the season is finished, how did we do compared to what the "experts" predicted?
Anyone keep track of what our predicted record would be?
I believe that every single prediction had us finishing 6th in the Big XII north.

Edit: after a quick check, looks like CFN had us at 3-9 to finish the season.

I had us at 6-6 at the begging of the season with a bowl. I was about right on.

I said 5-7. Great to be wrong in this scenario.

I believe you said maybe 6-6 at one point in time.:wink:

Just wanted to throw my congrats out to the seniors and the first year coaches! You exceeded most everybody's expectations, including mine, and made an ex-cyclone in Houston proud! What a great way to end the year and begin this one!

GO STATE!

Great point....better wording would have been "former player." Thanks twojman!

I had anywhere from 2 to 6 wins, settling on 4-8. They had a chance to pick up two more. I definitely underestimated this team by 2 wins.

 

[agcy68]

The over/under in Las Vegas for number of wins was 4. I distinctly remember Matt and Miller discussing it...

 

[cyclonedave25]

I said 7-6 with a bowl win..


OK kidding, I think I said 4-5 wins, 6 at best.

This is true. I picked 5 wins....Ken said 4.....7 wins is WAAAY over

 

[twojman]

I went out on a limb, I picked anywhere from 3 to 9 wins. I can say I was right. :wink:

 

[Cycsk]

Can anybody find the preseason poll on CF in which we picked the number of wins?
