It's time: project the season record - washingtonismoney - 08-28-2014

Regular season only.



Re: It's time: project the season record - washingtonismoney - 08-28-2014

By the by, here's my vote and logic:

UCD: 99%
SC: 65%
Army: 99%
UW: 70%
ND: 70% (assuming 5 players are out)
WSU: 85%
ASU: 65%
OSU: 75%
Oregon: 35%
Utah: 85%
59ers: 95%
UCLA: 50%
= 8.93 (I rounded down because I assume I'm overoptimistic)

I voted 10-2.  Loss at Oregon, then we either get jobbed at N.otre Dam.e or loss to UCLA end of season.  Gun to my head, I say get jobbed at U of DFG

It's a discrete poll by definition since we're using integer values.  C'mon! :p

Re: It's time: project the season record - pcgoode - 08-28-2014

11-1, with the possibility that we still win the PAC 12 and go to the CFB Playoff. On paper, I think we should be able to win every game. Football isn't played on paper, however, so I think we will drop one along the way. It wouldn't surprise me if it is against one of our (somewhat) lesser opponents like Oregon State or Washington.

Do you mean this poll is out there by itself...set apart from all other polls? I think that makes you a pollist.

Re: It's time: project the season record - yvonne - 08-28-2014

I'm not responsible for the terminology! I think the writer meant discreet, but perhaps, it's some polling term that I'm not familiar with. Part of the software's documentation — I think it's the Good Post/Bad Post add-on, but I can't remember — drives me crazy because it uses "amount" when it should be using "number."

Re: It's time: project the season record - Bruce Wang - 08-28-2014

12-0.

12 - 0 isn't the whole season, if you're correct.

I +1 Publius' post for repping VM. I knew there was something I liked about you...

I'll try to find a minute to grep for those terms and fix them.

Re: It's time: project the season record - yvonne - 08-28-2014

No worries. It's only in the instructions, nothing that the members see.

Re: It's time: project the season record - CompSci87 - 08-28-2014

Cool,  but "discrete" does need a fix.

Re: It's time: project the season record - CompSci87 - 08-28-2014

I'm sure the software authors meant "discreet", but that word isn't terribly apt either, so I changed it to semi-private.

Finally got around to watching the movie.  The coolest fictional Stanford person of all time.  There's actually a funny Stanford VM quote as related to the football team, but it's not an elegant quip for a more civilized board.

I recall garvin being the lone optimist ahead of the 2012 season.  Come on, put in 12-0 for good luck.

Re: It's time: project the season record - 81alum - 08-29-2014

I went with the odds and said 9-3, although I could not really say which will be the 9 and which the three.  Maybe I am pessimistic since I just rewatched the Utah game the other night, and that really had a way of reducing hubris.

Re: It's time: project the season record - pcgoode - 08-29-2014

Wilner has us going 10 and 2, with losses to Oregon State and UCLA.

As much as I dislike his columns on occasion, he was very accurate last season. Where I think he gets it wrong in his predictions this year is wrt UCLA. The Bruins will be coming off an emotional game with the USC, and if we are as I suspect fighting for a spot in the PAC 12CG/CFP, I don't see us losing.

Re: It's time: project the season record - StanFan88 - 08-29-2014

I'm going bold - and perhaps in some minds a bit ridiculous

Stanford will be 12-0 this season and Ty Montgomery will win the Voldemort. 

The ONLY game on the schedule that genuinely concerns me is Autzen.  I really hope both teams are undefeated on Oct 30.

Re: It's time: project the season record - Papa John - 08-29-2014

I'm going with a repeat of recent history and voting 10-2, with the two losses coming on the road. Stanford finishes in a tie with Oregon atop the Pac-12 North but reps the North in the Pac-12 Championship Game based on the head-to-head tiebreaker.

Same here.  I have a hard time actually seeing the third loss on the schedule, but am trying to keep my expectations in check.
