MW Preseason Predictions vs. Current Standings
Quote from Collin Mitchell on January 17, 2023, 10:41 amIt’s pretty interesting to look at how the standings were predicted before the season and compare them to where teams stand currently three weeks into conference play. The biggest teams that stand out to me are Nevada, UNLV and Wyoming. It may be slightly too early to say Nevada will win the conference, but with a win tonight it would at least give a cushion for them to truly extend a lead in the win column with the schedule that other teams have ahead. Wyoming I can’t blame too much for the struggles considering how depleted the roster is. UNLV on the other hand has been shocking to me, I considered them to be a minimum of a top four team in this conference before the season but the close games have just not gone their way yet.
Let me know some of the picks that shocked you the most and any other thoughts you have!
