So, we have seen all the preseason games (well some of us) and have (at least) a little better feel of roles and what we could be good and not so good at. Time to put down your official prediction and playoff seed. @Orion Bailey will record these.
58 wins 2 seed I dont think you will need to win 67 games to get the 2 seed this year. It's going to be a close race from 4-10. A tiebreaker will be in effect for the 5-8 seeds. The large number of those +14 wins will come from improved play on the road. Last season we were 16-25, this season I think we will be closer to 26-15, 32-9 at home.
Just like last year, I will keep track of the win/loss of each predictor. Color coding is as follows and is ONLY for the games predicted: Black = undecided....still in the running to be correct Red = Blazers have blown by your prediction and you have lost. Green = the lucky winner/currently on point KingAlbertoJrSpeed..............64-18......1st seed RipCityDSCPL........................61-21......3rd seed Dougnsalem..........................60-22.....2nd seed rotary111...............................58-24......1st seed Fonzthecpt1...........................58-24.....2nd seed Chris Craig............................56-26......3rd seed BonesJones...........................53-29......3rd seed julius.....................................53-29......4th seed BigGameDamian...................51-31.......4th seed KeepOnRollin........................50-32.....4th Seed Orion Bailey..........................49-33......3rd seed OSUBlazerfan.......................49-33......5th seed Rhal......................................47-35......5th seed trailblazer18.........................47-35......5th seed WillG....................................47-35......5th seed HCP......................................46-36......6th seed I will add to this list as more provide their predictions. Cut off will be at tip off on October 25th. At the point no other entries will be eligible ( late entries I will still track, but wil not be counted as official. I would like to give away a prize for this, however I'm not sure how to do it. I would like to give away a pair of tickets to the final game, but how do we know who is the winner BEFORE the game? plus with that short of notice will the winner be able to attend? Are they even in this state? I just thought it would be awesome for the person who is right to be able to attend the final game for so closely predicting how this years team will do. Anyone have any thoughts on how best to do this?
