Before Grobe's 2nd season at Ohio, I decided to pick the winners of all 12 games - 12 because Ohio opened at Hawaii. After 9 games Ohio stood at 6-3, and I'd correctly picked all nine winners. BUT, I had also picked Ohio to lose its last three. Which is precisely what happened, with one of those losses being a game-12 gut-wrencher against Toledo in Peden.

I found that pre-season picking, instead of adding fun to the season, added (stupid) stress. I guess it was my then still competitive side kicking in.

So now I do derive fun from seeing the picks of other BAs, but not enough to resume my own pre-season picking.

MAC Championship Ohio vs. NIU Win. Ohio gets their revenge for losing the week before.

Bowl Game: Win

Final Record: 11-3

I think I'm looking forward to the season a little too much, and that is why I made the win total so high. I think after the first couple weeks my expectations will come back to Earth. I could realistically see the Cats winning 7-8 games once it is all said and done.

Careful, Monroe. Roberto has been one of the most accurate pickers for years. If he says you'll set yourself on fire, consider keeping a fire extinguisher on hand, as he's never wrong.

The last time Monroe went "full-truculent alumnus demanding a coach's head" was in basketball with TOS. I think you will all recall Jeremy Fears back-flipping that team to a dramatic MAC title. I stand by my call. (and don't forget my North Side bookend miracle in Chicago)

Based on picks, the games, from easiest to hardest:
Idaho - wins= 18/18 picks
SE Louisiana - 18
Miami - 18
Kent - 18
Buffalo - 16
Ball St - 16
Akron - 15
Marshall - 9
BG - 8
WMU - 6
NIU - 5
Minnesota - 3

Seven of eight think that if Ohio gets to the MACC, they win.
Thirteen of sixteen think that if Ohio gets to a bowl, they win.
