It's the middle of summer, when everyone is in full-bore bar-b-q mode (tuning up for tailgating season no doubt), but there is nothing happening on most college campuses, newsworthy or otherwise. And so its that hot time of summer when everyone begins to look ahead and try to predict how many games everyone is going to win this fall, often looking back at last year's picks.
Here at BTD, there will be some of that too, as James will be weighing in from Pac-12 Media Days soon enough, and I'll be making my pick for the finishing order in the conference races as well.
