Last years teams, I agree with you.

This year I, and whatever ESPN's FPI is worth, disagree with you.

The analytics think Canes should be within 10-12 points of Bama.

Vegas and the human polls don't.

Will be interesting to see which are right. Usually the discrepancy isn't that big between the two. The smart money seems to be on the Canes not showing up, again.

Play each match-up 10 times.

Bama beats our Canes by 20+ probably 5, 30-40+ for 5.

I assure you I REALLY want 👆 to age poorly.


As for Clemson vs UGA... the former's window appears closing, the latter's has never opened really. Probably fairly matched across, say 14-ish spread 5 games, 21-ish for the other 5.

For me, coin flip who wins between Tigers and Bulldogs.

UGA's window was pretty open when Bama faced a 2nd (or was it 3rd?) and 15 in the title game in 2017.

Trends and tendencies.
That's their play until Miami can prove otherwise.

Hopefully Miami changes that trend.

Neither game will be close. Both favorites will fall with their QBs running for their lives all game long.

Here’s hoping anyway!
 
I went with Clemson vs UGA. Just think that game will be within 10pts or less. I do think we’ll give Baga all they can ha DL’s but their depth wears us at the end.

I guess I look at...

but was it though? I think that was more fluke than consistency given results since then...


but your point is taken...


I'm waiting for the hot take post-game from a porster(s) who say, "see I predicted...", but yet their prognostications are nowhere to be found prior except from some vague water is wet.

Oh to be sipping hot cocoa round a fire in the Fall...

Clemson vs uga.. was a good question, took me a minute to decide. Would rather play uga than bama, recruiting wise that's the team I'd rather beat. Bama will get there's but we can bloody uga's nose and make it harder for them on the trail.
