Auburn will not lose to Oregon feel free to save this.

Also I agree, I think Texas Gay&M can beat Clemson. I just don’t see it happening.

Georgia has ND at home

I honestly would think that LSU/Texas would be close if Texas didn't lose so much.


They lost 8 starters on defense, 3 offensive lineman, a good tight end and their best WR, and a starting RB.


They are losing way too much on both sides of the ball, while LSU is returning a shite ton of people.

Duke


I’m already getting mentally prepared for Bama to be pounded over and over for having Duke on our schedule this coming season. I know LSU and Auburn fans will remind us repeatedly that y’all are playing Texas and Oregon whilst Bama plays a mid tier ACC team. I wish Bama was playing a highly ranked non conference opponent but they didn’t seek my council on the scheduling unfortunately.

I’d take that trade in a heartbeat because I’m worried Bama will never get a shot at this Clemson team for revenge. A different SEC team will be playing Clemson in the playoffs and I’m predicting Bama doesn’t get out of Atlanta with a win if we make it to Atlanta at all in 2019. I’ll be pulling for A&M hard for sure to beat Clemson. I have Clemson fatigue man.

Even though clemson's schedule is not great, I don't think a loss against A&M early would knock them out of playoff contention. Not with the way the playoff committee has been voting. Only way they would get left out is if they lose another game or there are 4 un-defeated teams in front of them.

Yea I was surprised when looking over the non conference schedule and I didn't see Bama playing anyone of any worth. Coach Cutliffe is great but Duke will never compete in a game with Bama

Agree. They have reached Bama status, where it takes a lot to leave them out.

They may take us.

There's a bit better chance that Texas beats LSU, though.

Too hard to call for me. I think Florida will beat Miami pretty soundly. That would be my pick to be least competitive.

Of course aggy says we will get beat. Just like they said Georgia was going to beat us down. Better worry about Clemson ol chap.

They're paying Lovie $5 million annually

Former NFL coach of the year but can't win 5 games in the B1G West.

Yea after the dismal season Miami had last year, I don't expect much from them. However their strong point was their defense, so if they can beat up on Franks and that O-line they could pull it out. I don't see it happening though

Alabama did not schedule Duke. Gary Stokan, President of the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Classic scheduled Duke. He had already contracted Alabama to play in the game. His inability to schedule better opposition than Duke, and the Orlando game being unable to do the same with Louisville, is the reason Alabama is no longer looking to schedule neutral site games. USC and Miami were already on the schedule when this decision was made.

2019 - Duke (Atlanta)
2020 - USC (Dallas)
2021 - Miami (Atlanta)
2022 - @ Texas
2023 - Texas
2024 -

2033 - Oklahoma

I’m glad to see USC on our schedule. The Trojans have fallen out of National relevance and that’s not good for college football. A strong USC and a competitive PAC conference is better for the game and national interest in the playoffs.
