Back in 2012, Brett Ciancia launched the first version of "Pick Six Previews" to take a unique and scientific approach to providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date preseason publication possible. 2022 was the first season I Brett was eligible for all three of Stassen’s accuracy intervals (10-year, 5-year, 3-year) and placed #1 in all three. This marked just the 3rd “Triple Crown Winner” in Stassen’s 30+ years of magazine tracking. BRM catches up with Brett to discuss his approach to creating the preview, some surprising finds from this year and the past, and discusses how each conference stacks up versus one another given his decade-plus of analytics.
