Week 13 Impressions

What a fantastic week of football!!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, though I didn't get a chance to watch much.  I spent most of Saturday returning home from our Thanksgiving get-together, so I listened to several games on the radio.  Therefore, in today's blog, I thought I would review how my preseason conference predictions turned out.  These will be presented somewhat randomly, but I will list my predictions, and then where they finished in parentheses after each team.  Let's start with the SEC.

As you can see, I was marginally successful.  Mostly, I did pretty good picking the top and bottom teams in each division, but the 3 or 4 in the middle were a little harder to get right.  Out of the 18 "divisions", I picked the top team correctly 11 times, and the bottom team 7 times.

You'll notice I didn't include the Sun Belt; that's because their season hasn't ended yet.  I'll review those results next week. 

Until next time, may your day and your loved ones be blessed!
