Holding Me Accountable: How Did I Do In My Pre-season Predictions?

In October, I made my predictions of how the season would turn out for the Huskies in the non-conference portion of the season and in the conference season. Always one to be held accountable for my actions, now it is time to see how close I was:

Date	Opponent	Prediction	Result
12-Nov	Georgia State	W	W
13-Nov	Florida Atlantic	W	W
14-Nov	Portland	W	W
20-Nov	at Saint Louis	W	L

18-Feb	Arizona	L	W
25-Feb	at Washington State	W	W
1-Mar	at USC	W	W
3-Mar	at UCLA	L	L

	Conference Record	12-6	14-4

Final Record		21-9	21-9

As you can see, I thought they would do better than they did in the non-conference part of the season. Although I knew (and stated as much in October) that St. Louis was a possible trap game, I did not see the South Dakota State game coming. As for the conference part of the season, they did better than expected. Mostly it was because I figured Arizona would be better than they were. But, all in all, I ended up getting the overall record right. On a game-by-game basis, I missed on 6 of the 30 games, which gives me an 83.3% success rate. I guess that is good enough for a B-grade this season.
