As far as I know, no one can really predict the future. But that doesn’t stop people from trying to predict who will win in a matchup between two teams.
Some people even go as far as to try and predict things like the final score and how many yards superstar players will have. Honestly, I have no problem with this. I do it with pick ’ems through the regular season and bowls.
The thing that does bug me is people that believe they could predict an entire hypothetical season for a team if they played in another conference. Statements of a team being overrated and how they would be lucky to make a bowl if they played in another conference. Or how Conference X is so weak that a mid- to low-level team from Conference Y would win the whole thing every year.
