lemson will have the biggest drop off from a NC winning team since Auburn in 2011, They went 8-5 the year after winning one. Clemson will struggle to even get to there.




i think this is wishful thinking given u don't want to see CU again. lol i wud be shocked if CU doesn't have a better offense than Bama. lol

CU going to have the QB and WRs and RB next year, the defense should be solid.

i'm not projecting CU into playoffs. but i don't see any reason to believe bama a lock for it.

you also gloss over the fact that the offenses on other SEC teams has not been good over the past 5 years or so. if QB play improves in SEC, Bama not going to the playoffs every year.


We have been in the playoffs every year? Clemson? not so much...no Watson, no care....Bama returns most of its offense and its defensive backfield (don't expect Marlon to go pro). We are fricking stacked with defensive talent and have the best RB in the country to compliment Bo and Harris.

so it is just watson, nothing to do with WRs, TE, and RB? lol

bama lacked depth on defense this year, that's why they were gassed at the end of the title game. you losing a lot of those starters.

i'm pretty sure Auburn not gonna beat CU next year at Clemson unless you got a Watson type QB up next


Learn the name Jarrett Stidham. You'll be very familiar with it come September.

Not that we need a "Watson type", Sean White would have beat you this season had Gus played him the whole game

Hurts will also be much improved and Sark will have a full year instead of one week. Our WR's are sick next year.

that's just excuses. Franklin actually had the bigger plays in the game. the announcers were knocking ur coach for not keeping franklin in the game.

Don't think anyone called them a lock, but they're the safest bet. I'm sure vegas will reflect that. They lose two players from the top offense in the SEC

Noone thought it was a lock to beat yall. But we sure as hell knew we were making it to the game.

The 4 other trophies we have will keep us happy for at least another year.

I got this 4 teams in the playoffs next year.

Bama
FSU
USC
Oklahoma

I know Bama and FSU play each other to open the season, the loser of that game will likely win out after that and make the playoffs. The winner will probably the the 1 seed and undefeated.

Franklin knew all of 2 plays at that point and is 0 threat to pass. There was good reason he didn't play much. Things would've gotten ugly with him. Announcers don't know shite, never have and never will.

Short lived fairy tale. Auburn thought the same thing about the 2010 season. People forgot about that team after they sucked the next year and Alabama won another.

Okla losing both their stud RBs and their D is always pretty weak.

i think u got to project a big 10 team in the playoffs.

given either FSU or Bama will have a loss after 1 game, it is unlikely they both make playoffs.

Clemson actually has much more favorable schedule next year, with home games against auburn, FSU, and G tech.

Clemson loses too many playmakers--especially D. Watson.
