AMAZING Pre-Season ACC & National Prediction

Postby ponymania » Fri Nov 29, 2024 5:05 pm

Not Everyone was surprised by SMU's Season

This pre-season ACC (& Nat'l) Forecast was recorded way back in April ! Enjoy.....

btw....Be patient and listen to the first 5 minutes, or so. He provides a nerdy explanation of his methodology. And that is worth hearing because it catapults this Forecast from a biased opinion-based Forecast to a data-based Forecast - which should give all Pony Nation confidence about this team's current ranking (ACC & Nat'l). So anyone looking at today's rankings and pinching themselves...please stop.....this team is For Real.

Their model also had FSU at #2. So, just saying...

If you're the one who originally posted this....Thanks.

His projection seemed so unreal back in April. But when we cracked the Top 10 on Sunday, it was definitely worth a re-visit - especially for any fans that missed your posting the first time around.

btw, I remembered his Forecast and I also remember texting a link of it to a fellow fan last Spring. So that's how I was able re-copy the link today. But if not for your original research in finding that video (of such an obscure individual Analyst), we would never have heard his message. So keep up the good work.

And like I said in the opening.... this is not about getting giddy over someone picking us to win the ACC and to be ranked 7th in the Final Polls ....it's more exciting that his forecast was driven by comparative facts about our team - that so far have borne out and will likely continue to bear out.

I wouldn't discredit that guy over being wrong about FSU.....Like him and 100% of the other forecasters blew it on FSU

Look at it this way....he's probably one of a small % that did not have FSU #1 in the ACC. So that is to his credit !

Yeah, you're right. Also, he was right about FSU being #2, just not that kind.

Thanks for reposting this because I’ve been looking for it! I remember watching it when someone posted it on here pre season, and it turns out geekstradamas was right! I didn’t share it with friends back then because it seemed so preposterous.
