At least we were right with the preseason prediction, right guys.

WEEK 13: FSU 20 - BC 17
Preseason Board Predictions - 100% predicted FSU would win.
Winners: Everybody!
Losers: Blah
Prediction Highlights:
- So close, hansen: "im sure someone will get arrested or kicked off their team by the time we play them; still a loss"
- footer20 with "Jameis rapes our D and since nobody cares about BC, the local Alabama cops turn a blind eye"
- Thanks for trying, Onyx: "Jameis is in prison, but his backup still tears our D a new asshole. Luckily, Jameis' absence has already taken FSU out of the division race."

WEEK 13 PRE-SEASON PREDICTION STANDINGS:
10-1 DavidGordonsFoot (only missing USC) *
9-2 Jesuit Ivy
8-3 Cadillac90

Blah

WEEK 10: Louisville - 38 - BC 19
Preseason Board Predictions - An optimistic 40% wrongly predicted a BC win.
Winners: ReverendMike, eepstein, TRE, DavidGordonsFoot, EagleDave, 31SouthSt, hansen, AdamBC, BCMurt, jhiggi02, EndlessMike, JesuitIvy
Losers: HinghamEagle, CommAveGarage, tallsy, footer20, dtwalrus, BCSUPERFAN22, Cadillac90, and OnyxBlackman
Prediction Highlights:
- Tallsy all kinds of wrong with "A WTF win," which in his preseason world would have brought us to 4-6.
- DavidGordonsFoot on point with "I wish this game were earlier in the season. Petrino should have the offense humming by November."
- Well done hansen: "probably will be the biggest loss of the year"
- EndlessMike with "BC wins if Petrino drives the team bus and crashes it while getting road head."
- Someone really missed with "Daz as legend talk begins."
- BCSUPERFAN22 was theoretically right, but also just wrong "Not sold on Louisville at all. New QB. New Coach. At home, very winnable"
- and if only, Onyx: "A member of the Logo Army takes one for the team and goes on a romantic motorcycle ride with Petrino before the game."

WEEK 10 PRE-SEASON PREDICTION STANDINGS:

WEEK 14: BC 28 - Syracuse 7
Preseason Board Predictions - 90% predicted BC.
Winners: Almost everybody!
Losers: ReverendMike and TRE
Prediction Highlights:
- BCMurt with "Despite being from upstate New York, Syracuse cannot handle the late November New England weather because there is no dome."
- I'm with jhiggi on the last part: "The boys will finally 'right the ship' cementing the foundation of the program while also maturing into 'dudes'. 10-2 calls for the 2015 campaign begin."
- I enjoyed my preseason fantasy while it lasted, with "Darius Wade comes in and tears up the Orange defense [assuming a Murphy injury against FSU]. Flutie is solid in garbage time. Feel good season conclusion."
- Who'd have thought of BCSUPERFAN22's 3 predictions, the last would be off: "Nerds gone, still good crowd, cold, BC pounds it out on ground"
- Without comment, OnyxBlackman: "A win puts us in the ACC title game and we get it because Cuse stubbornly continues to hand the ball off to actual running backs."

FINAL PRESEASON PREDICTION STANDINGS:
11-1 DavidGordonsFoot
10-2 Jesuit Ivy
9-3 Cadillac90
9-3 tallsy
9-3 EagleDave

8-4 CommAveGarage
8-4 hinghameagle
8-4 hansen
8-4 BCMurt
8-4 jhiggi02
8-4 Endless Mike
8-4 TRE
7-5 footer20
7-5 OnyxBlackman
6-6 BCSUPERFAN22
6-6 dtwalrus
6-6 ReverendMike

Final Actual Win-Loss Record Vs. Predicted Win-Loss Record
0% predicted 0-12
0% predicted 1-11
0% predicted 2-10
5% predicted 3-9 (ReverendMike)
5% predicted 4-8

15% predicted 9-3
10% predicted 10-2 (Cadillac90, and OnyxBlackman)
0% predicted 11-1

Final Aggregate Board Predictions
W - 100% Win over Maine
L - 55% Win over Pitt
L - 85% Loss to USC
W - 100% Win over UMass
L - 75% Win over Colorada St.
W - 80% Win over NCST
W - 85% Loss to Clemson
W - 90% Win over Wake
L - 80% Loss to VT
W - 60% Loss to Louisville
W - 100% Loss to FSU
W - 90% Win over Syracuse

Aggregate board record: 8-4.

Unedited Winning Prediction: DavidGordonsFoot
Aug. 30 at Massachusetts W. UMass is bad on a historical level.
Sept. 5 (Fri.) PITTSBURGH* L. I have a bad feeling about this one.
Sept. 13 USC L. BC had a more realistic shot at beating them last year and that went terribly.
Sept. 20 MAINE W.
Sept. 27 COLORADO STATE L. CSU is better than everyone thinks.
Oct. 11 at NC State* W. I won't pick Doeren to win a conference game until he shows us he can do it.
Oct. 18 CLEMSON* L. BC will struggle scoring points on their defense.
Oct. 25 at Wake Forest* W. Agree with TRE, Wake will be horrible this year.
Nov. 1 at Virginia Tech * W. I think BC can steal this game. The mystique of Beamer and Magical Lane Stadium is fading.
Nov. 8 LOUISVILLE* L. I wish this game were earlier in the season. Petrino should have the offense humming by November.
Nov. 22 at Florida State* L. Too much talent, and they'll remember how tough BC played them last year.
Nov. 29 SYRACUSE* W. Please win this game.

6-6 (4-4)


Unedited Worst Prediction (Based not on W's and L's, but just on general terribleness): ReverendMike
Aug. 30 at Massachusetts W
Sept. 5 PITTSBURGH* L
Sept. 13 USC L
Sept. 20 MAINE W
Sept. 27 COLORADO STATE W
Oct. 11 at NC State* L
Oct. 18 CLEMSON* L
Oct. 25 at Wake Forest* L
Nov. 1 at Virginia Tech * L
Nov. 8 LOUISVILLE* L
Nov. 22 at Florida State* L
Nov. 29 SYRACUSE* L

Additional Predictions:
- We stay close with USC for 1 quarter. They get tired in the 2nd half and we lose 41-17.
- The ghosts of Conte take over Alumni Stadium.
- Daz starts thinking "Philly wasn't so bad."
- I start thinking "can Bon Jovi buy BC and move them to Toronto so I don't have to be miserable anymore?"
- Frank Beamer mostly just reads the newspaper on the sidelines in >50% of games.
- Bates says "we expected all of this as part of the rebuilding process. This is a young team with a lot of talent."
- Don Brown will annoy me.
- Daz will goof up clock management to the point it costs us a game (probably Wake).
- We never figure out what kind of dog that was



It was fun. See you all next year!

A few people offered some bold preseason bowl predictions. So, due to overwhelming demand, I present you with an encore post:

2014 PRESEASON PREDICTION THREAD CONCLUSION: PRESEASON BOWL PREDICTIONS
- Tallsy - Had us in the Heart of Dallas Bowl against UTSA, but left us hanging on whether or not we could pull that out after a 6-6 season.

- hansen - Had us winning in the Bitcoin Bowl, to finish 7-5.

- BCMurt - Loss to Michigan in the Pinstripe Bowl, for a 7-6 finish. Offered the following in addition: "EO holds a nametag event at Stan's. TRE is asked to leave after demanding to know where Yogi Berra is kept in the offseason. Logi and claver refuse to attend and instead watch the game at the Citifield McFadden's."

- jhiggi - Win over Minnesota in the Detroit Bowl, for an 8-5 finish! Offered the following in addition: "The young dudes continue gelling and building confidence in the Dazler's plan grinding out a much needed bowl victory to cap off a successful second year for the new regime 24-21. The Daz and Co. build off of the momentum from this season, snagging a top 30 recruiting class with a dominant Defensive and Offensive Lineman and skilled pair of receivers, hopefully setting the stage for Wade's junior and senior years...... 10-2 here we come!!!"

- EndlessMike - Win over Northwestern in the Pinstripe Bowl, for an 8-5 finish!

- dtwalrus - Win in a garbage bowl against Maryland, for a 10-3 finish...

- OnyxBlackman - Win over Minnesota in the Pinstripe Bowl, after a loss to VT(!!!) in the ACCCG, for an 11-3 finish.

- BCSUPERFAN22 - Predicted a Chick Fil A Bowl appearance, but left us hanging on the outcome.


Game Week!!!
