College Football Power Ratings Review

-
Last August, before I had this blog, I made pre-season college football power ratings. I have decided to revisit these ratings to see how I did. I'll score it by the following system:
Teams correctly picked in top 25: 1 point
Teams correctly picked in top 10: 2 points
Teams correctly picked within 10 spots: 2 points
Teams correctly picked within 5 spots: 3 points
Teams correctly picked within 3 spots: 4 spots
I'll use the final Sagarin ratings to determine how my ratings did. So here's my preseason ratings with the Sagarin predictor rating in parentheses:
1. South Carolina (13) 1
2. Stanford (5) 12
3. Florida State (19) 1
4. Virginia Tech (27) 0
5. Alabama (2) 12
6. Nebraska (25) 1
7. Oklahoma (4) 12
8. Arizona State (32) 0
9. Texas A&M (12) 12
10. Pittsburgh (68) 0
11. Missouri (16) 6
12. Air Force (57) 0
13. Oregon (7) 3
14. Florida (29) 0
15. Oklahoma State (3) 1
16. Mississippi State (35) 0
17. Northern Illinois (54) 0
18. Georgia (20) 10
19. Arkansas (9) 3
20. North Carolina State (66) 0
21. North Carolina (53) 0
22. SMU (51) 0
23. Nevada (48) 0
24. LSU (1) 1
25. West Virginia (24) 10
So I ended up with 85 points. I correctly picked 3 out of the top 10 teams, and 14 out of the top 25. I might post some more analysis about this soon, but that's all for now!

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texa...

NFL Picks: Week 1

-
NFL Picks Week 1: -$1810 My NFL Picks were my most popular feature last year, so I'm bringing them back for 2013. Like last year, my picks will be posted gradually during the week because I type them up on my commute. Here we go! Game 1: Baltimore @ Denver -8.5 This is the first time in a while that the defending Super Bowl champs haven't opened at home, which could play in to the Raven's psyche here. Denver is out for blood after being eliminated by the Ravens last year in the divisional round. I'm picking line value, not the spot, here so I'm going Baltimore for 2. Baltimore +8.5 (3 units) -$330 Game 2: New England @ Buffalo +10 New England has been the center of focus this offseason, between Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow. However, Tom Brady is still an elite quarterback, and he can make plays even with Hernandez and Gronk out. The Bills have perhaps the murkiest QB situation in the league with Manuel and Tuel. I'm tempted to lay units on New England...
