Everyone loves to read predictions. Why does everyone love to read them? Because we want to know what certain people think of our favorite team. If the writer has predictions favorable for our favorite team, we love the writer. If he has predictions which don’t make our favorite team look so hot, then he is an idiot with half a brain.
In the spirit of making predictions, here are my bold Mississippi State predictions for 2015. For it to be bold, it has to be something which has the possibility of happening but everything must fall into place perfectly for it to come to fruition. By definition, these are predictions which are long shots. So before you hit me with, “You idiot, the chances of that happening are 1 in 1,000,000!” Please understand I know this already.
I did this last year to some varying degree of success. While these may seem like a lot of fun to write, they aren’t always. Even though I am pointing out these are against the odds, people will think I believe these are without a doubt going to happen. Last time I checked, I didn’t own a crystal ball. And if I did, I would much rather use it to figure out a way to make lots of money, not to make predictions about college football.
So here is my list of bold predictions. I don’t believe there is a greater chance one of these things happens over the other. The order I am listing them goes from the least bold to the most bold.
