BERTBALL IS LIFE
I set it during his freshman year when it looked like he was gonna be an all American some day Before he went off the rails.
It lists our MSU game as away, but should be home. I imagine that will make the game odds fall to a W for our projected record.
How is Houston 3? They lost 4 starters. I find these preseason data set values to be close to worthless.
Feels about exactly what we'd expect for Illinois, but was curious if we'd get the preseason offense #1. Michigan that low is really surprising.
Seems a pretty favorable jump offensively for Florida, but also has them taking a step back defensively, so that evens out i think Texas confuses me. jumping to 14 defensively when they finished last year 83 seems... unfounded.
And then Lville... offseason darlings once again, but what is the actual gameplan.

Great to give Hurley more bulletin board material.
There isn't a world where he'll be worse than 5 of those teams in front of him.

Michigan is way underrated here.
100% there's a world where that can happen
Just a couple years ago (24-25) they were AP Preseason #3 and finished unranked (#32 on KP)
I think he gave big Z a facial.
In the tournament or the regular season?
That team lost it's entire starting lineup to the draft off two championships.
There is no way Iowa St, Alabama, Houston, Kansas will. I'm not sure any of these teams will even show up in the preseason top 15.
I'm still not sure who are on some of these rosters. Lipsey is back?
Hard for me to understand how the data drives this one.
Ya we look very very good.
I’m not sure I’d have UConn down at 11. That said, if you’d like a friendly wager, I’ll give you UConn and I’ll take the field of Iowa State, Bama, Houston, and Kansas if just one end up infront of UConn.
Khamenia and Hines are still guys who gotta prove a lot, and if were on those other teams, you’d say the same. Candidly, Mullins probably still has to figure it out a bit too
One of the ultimate "what if" Illinois players.
