Back on June 6, we here at Big Innings gave everyone a sneak-peek at what the final standings would be. I believe it's time to see how we did...
Buckeyes - I predicted they would win 108 and secure the #1 seed. They did get the top seed, but managed to outdo my prediction by 7, winning 115. Missed by 7.
Inmates - My June prediction had the Inmates winning 101 and getting a bye. The fell 3 wins short of that, and missed out on the #2 seed, settling instead for the #3 seed. Missed by 3.
Sidewinders - I had them winning 98. They won 101. Missed by 3.
Wahoos - I correctly predicted they would win the BUD and get the #4 seed. They won 91, not the 94 I predicted. Missed by 3.
Rhinos - Nailed it. 98 wins was the prediction and the final result. Called it.
Fungoes - I predicted the Fungoes would be the #6 seed, and sure enough, they are. I did have them winning 97, but they slumped to 90 to just barely hang onto the last wild card spot. Missed by 7.
FFTs - I predicted 88 wins. They got 88 wins. Called it.
DVs - I predicted 86 wins. They got 88. Missed by 2.
Mavs - I thought the Mavs would win only 83, but they finished strong to get 89 wins and almost slide into the playoffs. Missed by 6.
Skyscrapers - My formula put the New Yorkers at 81 wins. They won 80. Missed by 1.
Drillers - I predicted the Drillers to win 80, but I forgot to include the "tanking" factor. They won 75. Missed by 5.
Warpigs - Prediction: 59. Actual wins: 62. Missed by 3.
Tweeners - I predicted 56 wins; they won 62. Missed by 6.
Goofs - Prediction: 55; Actual: 55. Called it.
Bees & Nads - I had them tying for the worst record with 54 wins. Instead, they tied for the worst record with 52 wins. Missed both by 2.
I correctly called the 6 playoff teams and the 4 division winners. I didn't miss any predictions by more than 7, was within 3 wins on 11 teams, and nailed 3 of them exactly. Maybe even more amazingly, I predicted a tie for the first draft pick and hit it on the head. I'm gonna call the June predictions a success.
