Steven A Moderator No. 1 Share Posted May 22 Her comments are: Molly Qerim makes her official picks for the 2024 season. SEC: “Kalen DeBoer’s record speak for himself I don’t see Bama falling in fact I see them back on top in his first year.” Pac-12: “Those Cougs not only taking the Pac but are gonna make a splash in the playoffs.” B1G: “Lincoln Riley statistically is getting better each year contrary to their record and I see USC making a Big jump.” Big 12: “Coach Prime got his practice year in. Now we’re gonna see the same team he had at Jackson State, At the Power 5 level. It won’t surprise anyone if they go undefeated” ACC: “Don’t be surprised if we see the Same Clemson winning everything again, They have a chip on their shoulders.” 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCati855 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted May 22 Wow! If you asked: "What pick in each conference will generate the most clicks?" She nailed them! I will say.... I think she may have gotten the ACC correct. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 5 Share Posted May 23 (edited) What, pray tell, does Molly do for a living? However she makes her money, I wonder how many future bets she has made on these off-the-ceiling picks? My guess? Nada. Think Molly will be back on December 3. 2024 to publically account for these picks? Have you ever seen Mel Kiper give himself a grade for his mock draft compared to how the draft came down? But Mel is quick to assign draft grades to the folks doing the picking. Often wrong but never in doubt. But THIS 'stuff' gets clicks. Thanks, Steven A. for the perfect headline for this post. Good Golly, Miss Molly has a broken crystal ball. Edited May 23 by Jon Joseph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 15 Share Posted May 23 Does this make sense, "Kellen DeBoers record speaks for himself?" First rule of journalism reread what you wrote, so you don't look like a fool. Then she references the PAC-12, again does this make you want to read on? She then says "Lincoln Riley statistically is getting better each year contrary to their record." Wow, I have been looking at the wrong things all along. I hope Riley uses that quote in the locker room after all his losses next year. Then Prime got his practice year, what! Almost as good as Primes famous quote, 'we don't practice to be great, we don't practice to be dominant, we practice to practice." So he got a year of practicing to practice? Finally pulls out the chip on the shoulder quote, but you need a qb behind center and Clemson has a Klubnik instead. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanLduck No. 18 Share Posted May 23 This has to be satire. Or long shot bets for Vegas. Every one of those picks is hardly believable by each one's fan base! Let alone all 5?!

David Marsh No. 21 Share Posted May 23 Is the Pac-2 even worth mentioning on any of these lists? It's a coin flip as to who wins it's literally a 50-50 shot. WAZU might be slightly better on paper but it's not enough to make it any more than a coin toss. Putting out predictions for every G5 conference is a better use of time than the Pac-2 at this point. Either WSU or OSU will need to go 12-0 in dominant fashion to make the playoff. Then to make any sort of "splash" they'll have to make it to the semi finals which isn't going to happen. Good laugh though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
