Prick Since 1974
Part of my preparation is to look at the year's schedule for each team, to predict SU wins for the year, look for soft or emotional spots in the schedule, and to examine the team goals for each team.
A little explanation:
W=Win
L=Loss
()=Close game, could go either way.
Predicted results include the most likely record along with best and worst possible results.
