We'll start with the unanimous conferences.
Every person had Alabama and USC winning their conference. And, everyone had Alabama in the Final Four this year. So, no points will be won by anyone on those. So
SEC - Boring
PAC 12 - As Fuck
The Near Unanimous
ACC - Florida State - 11/12 have them winning the ACC, John being the lone wolf, picking Miami.
AAC - South Florida - 11/12 have USF, with Munez picking SMU.
MAC - Toledo - 11/12 have them winning, with again, Munez, picking Western Michigan.
If you're starting to gather a theme, you're going to see Munez's name a lot in the list of outliers.
Sun Belt - App State, 10/12. Munez and Eplin picking Troy.
The most Diverse Picks
Conference USA - Conference USA has 3 teams picked. Western Kentucky with 6, Louisiana Tech with 5, and oddly as fuck, Old Dominion with 1.
Big 10 - Four different teams are predicted. Ohio State leading the way with 7. Followed by Wisconsin with 3, and Michigan and Penn State each getting a single vote. Oddly, more people have OSU in the college football playoff then they do winning their conference.
Big 12 -There are three teams picked to win the Big 12 this year. Oklahoma St surprisingly leading the way with 6. Oklahoma is right behind with 5. Texas getting one vote by who other than Munez.
Mountain West - This was the best this year as far as parody goes. There were 4 teams picked, Boise St with 6, San Diego St with 3, Colorado st with 2, and Wyoming with 1.
The Final Four
National Champion - Alabama. 10/12 people have them winning it all this year. Munez picking USC and Folden picking Ohio State.
Final Four - The top 4 teams in the early polls are Alabama, USC, Ohio State, and Florida St. There are 48 predictions between the 12 of us, and 40 of the 48 go to these 4 teams.
Alabama 12/12
USC 11/12 - everyone but Gary
Ohio State 10/12 everyone but Rob and Jim.
Florida State 7/12
The people who picked the chalk top 4 are Folden, John, Eplin, and Munez.
So, where were the other 8 picks represented?
3 of these 8 went to Oklahoma St, being picked by Voyten, Gary, and Joe.
2 of the 8 went to Oklahoma, being picked by Hale and Munez.
1 pick each went to Wisconsin (me), Michigan (Jim), and Penn State (Rob)
First Red out of the Year
Finally, I want to give credit to Hale, for getting a red X through one of his picks already. He picked Texas to finish the highest in the coaches poll, even though they started the season ranked. Thanks, Hale. There's always one.
