2012 College Football Preview: Records
A few days ago, I gave you guys my 2012 power ratings. Today, I'm going to present my projected win-loss record for each team. I'd have to say that the team that surprised me the most in simulating the season was Utah. The Utes are projected as undefeated Pac-12 champions in my power ratings. I don't necessarily agree with that, but they do have a lot of signs pointing upwards. They also have a number of close games (vs. USC and vs. Oregon). Without further ado, here are my 2012 projected records.
