2012 College Football Preview: Team By Team Record Predictions

August 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Below are my team by team record predictions for 2012. I included my 2011 record projections for laughs and because I am not scared to show where I have succeeded and failed in the past on predictions. Last season, I made my record predictions in mid June/early July. A lot happens after those months, so this season I waited until a few weeks before the season kicks off to release this.

You will see some surprises, but if you want the picks ESPN or Sports Illustrated throw out then go to ESPN.com or SportsIllustrated.com. Anyone can pick USC or Alabama to win every game. Who can guess which team will win ten games out of nowhere? That is my goal.

You can see my preseason bowl projections by clicking  here.
