SIX PACK REWIND: Preseason baseball predictions

[DawgatAuburn]

Good Monday morning to all. With the calendar turning to May, it seemed like a good time to hop aboard the SixPack Rewind Machine and see just how close our body of experts was to predicting what has turned into an enjoyable (mostly) baseball season. FORESHADOWING: It ain't pretty.

We currently sit at 30-14-1 with a 12-9 conference record. The average SixPacker predicted an overall record of 34-21, which I am sure not a single person on this board would accept right now if it was offered to you with 10 games left to play. We are also picked as a .500 team in the conference. Well technically 14.9 wins against 15.1 losses. Again, not a sole on this board would take 3-6 in the last three series, so expectations certainly will be exceeded this season.

While there were a few brave souls who picked us to host, no one picked us a national seed, at least in writing. UptheMiddle probably had that in mind, but wasn't explicit enough to be awarded credit.

There are other enjoyable quotes in the thread, and I encourage you to click the link and take a walk down memory lane. http://forums.sixpackspeak.com/showthread.php?152833-Baseball-projections&p=1190006#post1190006

Thanks D@A. RugB, right where I would expect him to be.

 

[patdog]

Only off by 1 on both overall wins and SEC wins. Pretty good. Oh wait, there's still 10 games left.

PS D@A, good job, but the Sixpack Wayback Machine has a better ring to it.

Dubmass *****, reporting in.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Average SixPacker reporting in...

 

[00Dawg]

Totally forgot to include the seed. No props for it now, but it was a 1, and no national seed.

FWIW, I had y'all at 36-20 (15-15) but I had 2 wins against UTM, so 35-20 since one game got cancelled. So it looks like I'll get the 20-5 nonconference record right, but I thought AT Vandy, AT Florda, and AT LSU would be more like 3-6 than 6-3. It may turn out that those 3 wins are the difference in my prediction.

Though FAuburn will totall sweep y'all to make me right.**

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

And I'm spot on both total losses and SEC losses. Oh wait...

 

[Shmuley]

You left me off the list. I had us at 30-14-1 at this point. [/FAAAAAARRRRRT].

 

[ShrubDog]

No wonder rugb is so positive we are going to lose every game. Brilliant strategy.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

I couldn't extrapolate a projected record from yours, but if I had, safe to say it would have been in the bottom third.

 

[Shmuley]

Absolutely no doubt.

 

[mcdawg22]

I love my prediction. I was in such a Cohen hating mode that day. It's sad that part of my pessimism was a gut reaction to Engie's sunshine. Glad ole Engie was right and this crow taste fantastic and I hope I keep eating it all the way into June.

Didnt pick preseason but after the meltdown came week 2 and folks were saying me might no even get a regional this yr, i picked 38-17 and recieved some heat.
Im still pissed about 4losses this yr though. Win those and we r 34-10...and likely #1...wont matter if we can get 7 of last 10( my guess to being enough to get top 8 seed).
