First Quarter Progress Report on My Preseason Predictions

This was another prediction that was spot on.  Edwards looked uncomfortable all day in this game.  LSU held Edwards to less than 2 yards per carry and a 42% completion percentage.

Interesting fact:  Appalachian State, the reigning FCS champion, is 1-2 after losing to James Madison.

"1.  There will be FOUR one-loss teams vying for a BCS title berth."

This one has a great chance of happening.  Another similar scenario could involved 4 undefeated teams.  Right now, the most likely candidates are (1) USC; (2) Missouri or Oklahoma;, (3) Florida, Georgia, LSU, or Alabama; (4) Wake Forest; (5) USF and (6) BYU. 

I am really hoping for a scenario where there are 4 or more "deserving" title contenders.  If USC, the SEC champ, the Big XII champ and at least one other team all have identical records in the loss-column, then maybe the powers that be will finally realize the necessity of a playoff system.

Interesting fact:  Eight of the top 10 teams are from the Big XII and the SEC (four each).

In sum:

I've made two predictions that were dead wrong (No.'s 4 and 7) and one prediction that has proven to be 100% true (No. 2).  Prediction No. 10 looks like another one that I could be wrong on at least as far as predicting UGA to finish third in the SEC East.  The rest are either still very probable or just too difficult to analyze at this point.
