I feel that Alabama, while lead by a sucky QB, and while Washington might play them to a single-digit loss, shouldn't really lose.

I would say Ohio State is the best bet to beat them, but J.T. Barrett will probably suck it up with the spotlight on. There's something wrong with Ohio State. It's like a good song that can't ascend to the top of the charts. Clemson is fake and full of holes.

Do you really think Hurts is a sucky QB? He has some growing to do to limit mistakes, improve accuracy and timing sure... but sucky, really? :shakehead:

Also, tOSU is by far the easiest match up for this UA team if the buckeyes play like they did most of the year. They have talent and coaching; but have the least balance and/or composite of threats that would truly challenge Bama on both sides of the ball.

Their QB with more experience is less accurate as a passer than Hurts and less efficient. tOSU lacks a power run game and their OL would be dominated by Bama's front 7.

Clemson is biggest threat given a good RB, true dual threat QB who limits mistakes and makes big throws to a couple of big, physical WRs.

Washington is the most balanced of the three on offense and plays the best in all 3 phases. I think Bama will struggle with them through 3 qtrs before finally pulling away.

I don't think the CFP will be boring in the lease though. Last year had 2 x 1st round blowouts before a classic finale. I don't see two first round blowouts this year, but likely we'll have another a great rematch of last year's CG.

This is stupid.

Clemson is better than OSU and will give Bama all they want, possibly even beating them.

Deshaun will be the best player on the field, followed closely by Jon Allen. Clemson's D-Line is stacked, alebit with underclassmen, and Bama's offense has proved to not be as intimidating as they seem.

-Clemson with the edge of offense

-Bama clearly better on defense.

Should be a hell of a game




Oh, also. You suck as a poster and need to quit immediately

Bama scores 40 points per game, granted some of that comes from defense and special teams. LSU is the only team to hold Bama under 30.

But they are top 20 in most offensive metrics, and have done so against some solid defenses

They do hit some big plays, and I think in any game, they are due a few of those. But watching them live, play after play they are not as dominating as they could/should be.

I think Clemson's offense with Deshaun, Mike Williams, and Gallman, is a better unit, but they will be going against Bama's D so...

Should be a great game. Yes, i am putting Clemson past OSU

Yeah I don't get all of this love on the Rant for Ohio State this year. The quarterback is hot garbage as far as passing. They are more loaded on defense than Clemson but not by that much. Clemson has much better wide receivers and running backs. I think they will beat OSU by about ten points. Maybe like a 45-35 or 45-38 game. A shootout for sure. But OSU is so one-dimensional it's not even funny. But I think it would be a great rematch if it plays out that way. Although maybe a lot of Bammers want OSU because they have already beaten Clemson.
