That article just shows that most media writers are not creative when making predictions.

I'd be excellent at that job. I should really pursue it. :D

And you two apparently don't get it. ANYONE can take the finishes of teams, and easily predict the next season, and many times, they'll be very very wrong.

There is more to football and predictions that what most sportswriters cover. Oooooooo, Florida finished high, they'll finish high again! Ooooooooo Arkansas finished high, so now they'll be great.

Ooooooo Tennessee was bad in 2005, so 2006 won't be any better.

Creativity and more in depth research will make these sportswriters more correct when the time comes.

Creativity may have been the wrong word. It's just so .... predictable. It doesn't take any skill to predict what he predicted. I can promise when I put out my preseason predictions, they will be closer to the real outcome than what some of these schmucks will put out.

I'll try to think of a better word to describe what I mean.

I agreed with what you were saying, but like you said, creativity wasn't the best word to use. Most of the sportswriters will take the final poll from 2006 and will use that to determine where the teams will finish. Just because a certain team finishes ranked one season ranked high doesn't mean they deserve to start the next season ranked as high.

Really, I think there are too many question marks. Can uf really survive losing their defense and qb that well? Can lsu's offense keep up without their receivers and Russell? Surely Auburn's offense is worse with Taylor (the only guy they would throw to) and losing FOUR linemen and Irons. Uga's defense is what carries that team...losing their d-line will be huge. And UT of course...will Ainge keep on playing lights out or will he be like Clausen in '02 when he lost Washington, Stallworth and Witten?

Arkansas seems to me to be the only team that I would lock for the top 15.

Arkansas loses almost as much as anybody else. They lose their 3 or 4 best defensive players as well as their best offensive linemen, the REAL reason they went 10-4.

Our biggest offensive loss is Ken Darby? This guy is crazy...it's obviously the loss of that offensive guru, Mike Shula, that will hurt us most!:whistling:
