You may recall that we had a poll just before league play started that asked how many league games the Crusaders would win. So far, the team has played 11 out of 18 regular league games and sport a 5-6 record.
The tiered options were:
18-22: 1 (2.8%) 15-19: 0 10-14: 0 5-9: 9 (25.0%) 4 or fewer: 26 (72.2%)
So, with 7 regular season games remaining and at least 1 playoff game and the team having already won 5 games, it means close to 3/4s of Crossporters were too pessimistic. In fairness, the OOC results were an unmitigated disaster.
A number of posters who took part in the poll, also explained their vote and rationale. Most, however, did not. The gentleman who picked 18-22 and shall remain nameless as it was facetious and won't be right either as the math just doesn't work out.
So, here are the posters who publicly picked within the 5-9 tier and still in the running: tim fz '87 rgs L/S
Since no one picked 10 or more other than the wag who picked 18-22, anyone feeling more optimistic now and think we can at least double our league wins to get 10 or more? I'm trying to see how strong that bandwagon is now that the team has won 4 of the last 5.

I guess it depends on whether our new found success is something that can be countered now that it is on film. I don't think so. It's not so much new Xs and Os as more confidence and experience in our Jimmies and Joes. So, I'll bump up to ten wins which is winning five of seven to follow up the four of five.

I had us 4-14 in that poll. I did have us at 7-11 in the preseason poll. Happy things are getting better.

I predicted 18 wins total. Was shocked that the team played as poorly as they did during some of the OOC. In retrospect, the team is as good as I predicted, but it took them an extra two months to put it together!

Yeah but different poll, '81. The poll I put together was after the OOC was completed and before the PL season began - not total season victories.
I don't think you were one who posted how many/why you might have picked a league win number, or didn't pick at all, how many do you think the Crusaders will win in the league? We're more than halfway done now.
