Thanks for the tireless and undoubtedly painful effort put into this research - your work won't soon be forgotten.
Anyhow, both Utah and BYU faired very well in this years NCAA game. BYU was 9th in the nation ending the '08 season and 11th at the end of '09...they would have been higher but had back to back losses to Utah and TCU.
Even though the numbers don't mean anything reading the article makes me want to leave work now and fire up the PS3 :)
GO UTES!!!!!!!
The only thing that CAN be taken away from this article is that playing NCAA 09 Football is fun, and most prognosticators give the cougars an edge over the Utes. But everybody already knew that anyway.
As far as the accuracy of preseason pundits, review just the MWC teams of the last 5 years:
Year Preseason Favorite Actual Champion
2003 Colorado St. Utah
2004 Utah Utah
2005 Utah TCU
2006 TCU TDS
2007 TCU TDS
They only got it right ONCE!
No more research will be necessary.
--Ute in Philadelphia
You need to do more research. The article states they did 50 SEASONS...not games!!
PS-Who wouldn't mind watching 50 simulated seasons go on, and get paid! Sweet assignment!
Schools don't waste money on scholarships. Athletic scholarships come from money generated by the Athletic Department, thus actually allowing more students at the school to have scholarships.
My prediction, BYU will win 7 games and get blown out by the Utes, which will clinch Utah's conference title. Go Bruins.
