Big East Football Review

Colin Cowherd during his midday radio show on ESPN plays this game called Colin is right Colin was wrong.  Let 's go back and look  at what I predicted in Big East football.

I predicted Southern Nash First :  We could play this game just about all the time.  If only this team didn't have injuries.  When you look at their over all record boy what could have been.  During the season 11 starters missed games  at some point during the season.  Finished fourth.

I predicted Northern Nash second :  I thought Northern was a sleeping giant that just needed someone to get the most out of a team that has fallen into that pit of never finishing off a game.  Randy Raper had this team showing promise and were a hard team every time out to beat but to many losses for second finished 5th.

I predicted Hunt would finish third:  During their non-conference games  that prediction looked good but by the time conference rolled around round Hunt was right back where they are always near the top and this case champs again. They are  only Big East playing on Thanksgiving Friday.

I predicted Rocky would finish fourth:  If you recall I said 2-3-and 4 could all flip flop positions.  when you look at their 3-2 conference record they beat each team behind them in standing and lost to the two that finished ahead of them.  Rocky Mount finished third.

I predicted Nash Central would finish  fifth:  They came as lose as anyone  to be on the nose. I had no idea they would be as bad as this season finished not winning any games at all some in a way they were no where being as I thought they would be? they finished sixth.

I predicted Fike would finish sixth.  As bad as I that I thought Nash Central would be I thought Fike would be worse.  Even though they didn't win the conference title they probably are the best team in the league but finishing second created a rough two road games in playoffs.

Looking at next year in the prediction bowl.  I doubt Fike or hunt will fall far from where they finished this year.  Northern Nash, Rocky Mount and Southern will all look to finish third and I don' t SE central being much better next year.
