The Pac-12 is a diverse menagerie – a dozen teams across several different climate zones, 12 beautiful stadiums, 11.5 mascots, each fanbase with its own unique culture & traditions & its own unique ways of being annoying.
And now it’s late August - the season looms, each fanbase salivating at the prospect of inflicting woe & destruction upon their opponents. Hope abounds. But this leads to a couple questions for the curious mind:
How good are fanbases at evaluating their teams’ prospects?
Which fans are the biggest homers?
So last August I embarked on the 2017 Pac-12 Prediction Project.
