The 2012 season has been uploaded to the database and all the changes have been made to all the relevant pages.
And, for final reference, my final 2012 picks record:
Last week: 4-1 (80 percent). This season: 256-45 (85 percent — my best in my eight years of picking games). Eight-year total: 1,852-493 (79 percent)

Hey Patrick, why do you think it was your best year ever when it comes to your correct prediction % rate? Coach Holmstrom
Just like anything else, I suppose… Practice! 🙂
Well, that and fewer out-of-state games (always tougher to predict those) and fewer interclass games has made it much easier to pick games the last three years. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that all of a sudden when we had huge conferences, my prediction rate shot up.
(If you’re REALLY into it, my prediction rates were, from 2005-12 in order: 75, 75, 74, 77, 80, 82, 84, 85. So I think there’s something to more in-class play and those games being easier to pick.)
