Look at it this way Red Monster,
You can now tell your team to play loose since they aren't burdened by the heavy expectations of a winning season. Or...Tell them 'No one expects us to do well so we can just play our game and surprise a few people'.
Play the underdog card. Motivate that team. Show them the quotes. Make them angry.
And besides, predictions are a big guess anyway. It's been shown over and over again that the best you can do with any set of predictions is get about 60% accuracy anyway. Injuries, career seasons and outright luck play too big a factor for anyone to accurately predict a season. The Marcel predictions (named for the Monkey from
Friends, and named that way because they are 'so easy a monkey could do them') are just 3 year weighted averages -- and they have been shown to be every bit as accurate as numerous expert predictions.
I like the rankings, but ultimately they will probably have little bearing on the outcome of the league. I mean, it's hard to predict by just how big a margin the
Boy Wonders will dominate the league -- I'm not sure any prediction scheme is up to that task
