When I made the prediction in August, Sam Darnold was the odds on favorite. So you're wrong there. I wasn't making predictions on the Heisman in February.

Baker Mayfield was squarely behind Sam Darnold in the preseason. And for the first couple of months, Saquon Barkley was the favorite.

Remember, I stuck with Baker Mayfield even after the loss to Iowa State when most of ya'll thought Oklahoma was done.

You might wanna check the date breh. That link is from February. I made this thread in late August. At that time the heisman was all Sam Darnold.

Its weird to even argue this because everyone who paying any attention to the preseason heard the Sam Darnold hype. He was the favorite in August before the season.

Sure, the hype built for Darnold. But lets not pretend Baker was ever some sort of wild longshot. It's not a stretch at all to predict him winning it. Throughout the season, he was never the top 2 or 3 guys in the race.

I think you just want to really drive home the point about the Heisman odds since it's one of the only predictions you made that you didn't have to completely change midway through the year...

:eek:lol:

That was preseason. I changed my prediction to Georgia on October 1st.

God I love the spot we're in right now

And the week prior you said Tennessee would beat Georgia. So you changing your prediction had NOTHING to do with your prediction of UT winning the NC finally being crushed did it...no...couldn't be.

Do we need to pull out your "It feels like 1998" and "UT will have the top ranked defense in the SEC" threads too, to see how well your predictions went?

How about your prediction immediately after the Georgia Tech game that they'd win the ACC? How'd that work out?

I'm pretty sure I was the only person here that had Clemson beating Alabama last year when everyone thought Bama was unbeatable.

My in season predictions the last two years have been money.

Just wait and see Georgia will it all like I predicted.

Predicting UT to smash UGA the week of the game wasn't "in season"?

I'm always gonna be postive about my team.

But I'm more realistic about teams I don't care about. That's how I knew Clemson would win the natty last year once Tennessee was effectively eliminated from the playoffs.

And this year I knew Georgia would win the natty after Tennessee was effectively eliminated.

Just watch as my prediction is right for the second consecutive season.

Alabama was being called the best defense ever last year and remember Clemson struggled for most of the year last season. They were the clear underdogs. 0bviously there were a few others who picked Clemson. But the overwhelming majority of people were on the Alabama hype train last year.

And this year I was the first to say Georgia would win the national title in October. Most people were still skeptical of Georgia when I picked them to win it all.

Watch as I'm right about Georgia this year like I was about Clemson last year.

I never made a prediction about that gane. At least when I slam your nonsense I don't have to resort to making stuff up.

I'm pretty sure you were all Alabama last year. But digging up old posts isn't my style.

Hopefully someone else can find your posts.

“My inseason predictions, which I change weekly, and in the end look nothing like what I predicted all season, especially at the beginning of the season, are money”

“I predicted Tennessee to win the national championship last year, but when the others 126 FBS teams were eliminated and it was down to Alabama or Clemson, I picked Clemson. Look how great my prediction was.”

If it wasn't you, then I apologize. I just go off memory. I don't care enough to dig through old posts to know whether you are lying or telling the truth.

If you don't care enough to spend thirty seconds with the search feature, then you should refrain from calling someone out for posts he might not have made.

D4H would toot his own horn for correctly calling "heads" on a coin flip.
