2026 record

57–40 through Week 1 — 59% accuracy. Week 2 outcomes will be added after the games.

How the prediction works

The pick favors the school whose home-campus Scale of Sultry forecast is higher at kickoff—the theory being that players accustomed to hotter, stickier conditions have a conditioning edge.
