Oh, gotcha. I guess you're right, but something tells me that coaching at CU has never been apart of his thought process at any point in his major college football coaching career.

Oh, gotcha. I guess you're right, but something tells me that coaching at CU has never been apart of his thought process at any point in his major college football coaching career.
Clemson's my pick to win the national championship. They get FSU at home and South Carolina isn't scary this year. I also don't see Notre Dame beating them in their building with a bye week to prepare. So it really comes down to whether Miami is actually back this year and that road trip, imo. It's going to be a fairly high rated schedule and it's one they should run.
Once you get past Ohio St, the rest of the top 10 are flawed teams:
TCU - back 7 on Defense got gutted in a passing conference
Bama- Offense is gutted, and team is young
bailer - Seth Russel better be good...
Oregon - this team lost a ton at QB, OL, & Secondary
MSU - only big question is a corner. Still plays OSU at OSU.
Auburn - graduated a ton
FSU - wasn't all that good last year, graduated it's entire offense, will be young
I think they've got a great shot to win the ACC, but that amazing defense graduated, and their OL is going to suck donkey balls.
Not sure Watson can stay healthy, but the path is definitely there for them. I am admittedly biased, but I think Auburn is primed for a playoff run. I also really like Michigan State.
I agree with the Clemson prediction and would add that I have Deshaun Watson as my Heisman Winner.
He will certainly be one of the favorites along with Ezekial Elliot. I just believe that if a QB is even close to the production of those two, the QB will get the votes.
SEC's still getting a nice little bump overall. LSU's too high, Ole Miss is too high. And both Arkansas and Tennessee went 7-6 last year. Arkansas gets a lot of credit for beating LSU & Ole Miss and almost beating Alabama. Tennessee didn't beat anybody.
I see a pretty even SEC this year with a lot of very good, but not elite teams. I wonder what would happen if the other 4 conference produce an 13-0 or 12-1 champ, and the SEC champ is a beat up and bruised 10-3 team?
LSU is a team to watch, though. All last year they looked like a team that was a year away. Defense and run game are going to be nasty. Comes down to whether they are able to make plays through the air when it counts, I think.
Les Miles is currently being interrogated on play calling, by a nun, at a Rotary meeting. Not joking. @valleyshook
That's the thing, Jennings and Harris were both below 50%, and those are looking like their best options again. It's sad. Teams will just stack the box against Fournette.
Agreed. He has been absolutely tearing it up in recruiting. They also had pretty good classes the last couple classes before he went there. Not sure you can spin it after this year.
Not with Hogan at the helm, they're not! One week he's Tom Brady, the next, he's Cody Hawkins.
Although I'll grant you he was distracted last fall with the decline and passing of his father.
Plus they had to replace a significant amount of talent on "D". Its wait and see for them, too.

Interesting rereading the thread.
Yeah, pretty horrible predictions by me all around.
You and most of the country thought that Auburn had a star quarterback this year. Oops.
Also thought Arkansas would start playing before November. Only thing I was right on was Stanford. Weird year.
Your Clemson call was pretty damn good.
I shat all over your Clemson pick. Oops.
