S&P 2019 season projections

The Clemson game could be a nightmare scenario ... for them.
They won't know what to prepare for and the whole Clemson nation will be there for a party to celebrate the National Championship.

i mean they are going to have a spring game to work with, and will probably have old temple footage as well. Hopefully its a pretty vanilla game, but we'll know by the spring game what to expect

Ummm. We’ve got a lot of work to do before we think we can cause Clemson to have nightmares.

I realize that and no doubt a tune-up game would be the best scenario for us ... but maybe playing them first has a few advantages our way ??

If Trevor Lawrence, Etienne, and Justin Ross all get violent diarrhea the morning of the game, I’ll start to believe.

Gets the loss out of the way early...

I’m hoping more along the lines of systematic abuse of PID in the playoffs and a 40 man ban for Clemson in game 1 of 2019.

I would say that preseason stuff isn't just wild, it is purely speculative. At this point, it is possible that Clemson's entire two-deep could be suspended for PEDs for the first third of the season. Or that Saban could decide to retire. Or that one of the top teams could have a Marshall like tragic accident and not even field a team. I'm not predicting, expecting, hoping, or even thinking there is more than a miniscule chance of any of those happening. I was just trying to point out that there is no scientific method to predict how teams will fare next year. There are some fairly safe assumptions(Alabama and Clemson will be good, etc.). However, the only use for any predictions at this point are just to open conversations about what people think might happen next year.(Basically entertainment) I don't have any issues with such things as long as people don't believe that such predictions are factual or scientific.

There’s actually pretty strong statistical data that suggests Alabama, Clemson, and UGA will all win at least 11 games in the regular season. Similar chances with Ohio State. After that, things get much more speculative.

Skipped right over the "platoon of Clem analysts", huh? They won't be surprised by much. Of course maybe, just maybe, it will be a repeat of Currry and Lavette vs Bama to open the season! If JG = Lavette, we will all be thrilled.

No, no. We've gone over this before. We want them to get it as they run onto the field. That way it's a lot more embarrassing. And before a national audience.

I like where your heads at.
