Am I a good prognosticator?

There are too many variables involved in predicting the order of the ACC regular season race. But I think I did pretty well for an amateur.

Beginning of the Season, I predicted the following order. The final standings is in parenthesis:
  1. UNC (1)
  2. Duke (T-2)
  3. Wake (T-2)
  4. Miami (T-7)
  5. Clemson (T-5)
  6. VT (T-7)
  7. Maryland (T-7)
  8. Florida State (4)
  9. BC (T-5)
  10. NC State (10)
  11. Georgia Tech (12)
  12. Virginia (11)

I was basically correct on the top 3 picks, and was almost right on the bottom 3 picks (GT came in last instead of Virginia). Florida State and BC were the plesant surprises of the league, while Miami has to be considered a disppointment. The only teams I predicted that did not finish within 1 position of my original prediction were FSU, BC and Miami.
