Clemson -Alabama

I obviously hope Clemson wins it, but if I HAVE to bet? Hard to pick against Bama
I’m a bit confused by the poll? Are you asking who’re we picking in a not joke? Like I got Alabama... NOT!
I think Bama wins. But it isn't the walkover I expected a month ago. Clemson looks like they COULD win if Bama doesn't play fairly well. A month ago, I though Bama could play a c level game and win, but I no longer think the separation is that big.

What do Bama and Clemson have in common? Lines. They are deep and talented on the O and D lines. Which is where FB games are won. While other schools tout their skill position signings, Bama and Clemson talk up their Lineman recruiting. Skill position players are almost an afterthought when they talk recruiting.

My fear is can Clemson's secondary get it done.
If Sunshine can handle the blitz I think Clemson wins. If he can't handle the pressure it's Bama.
A Freshman QB against a Nick Saban defense....

This isn’t your father’s bama defense, they’re still really good, but not as good as last year’s.
I don’t think Clemson’s secondary can get it done. If Hurts was at QB, I think Clemson wins. You also have to wonder if Lawerence can handle Bama’s defense. I just don’t think he will br able to extend plays.
You hate @DukefanKY that much?
I doubt Crazie hates Clemson more than QC Dukie.....he will chime in later I'm sure!!!
I think Clemson is a more complete team and is more talented where it matters (D-Line and QB). I think the title game will look a lot like the SECCG except Clemson won't choke it away like Georgia does every time.
Have to go with Clemson. They are ACC, so I'm pulling for them. The only way I don't pull for the ACC is if Bama was playing the Cheats!!!

I agree, but Jake Frohm did great against it last year in the championship game. Trevor Lawrence is a different beast that can not only run better, but definitely pass better. I think his composure will be the difference.
That's how I am if my team isn't playing...if it were Bama and ND, I wouldn't even watch.
If the D-line play like they have, may not be that bad of a deal. Bama's secondary ain't that great either. They were getting touched after the first quarter. OKC secondary couldn't stop Ga's 1A high school champion lol.
It's been a rough sports year. Watching Duke lose in Omaha and seeing Grayson's last game, the Twins being horrible after a fun 2017, the whole Jimmy Butler saga with the Wolves, and then the Vikings not even bothering to show up yesterday against the Bears (just like last January in the NFC championship game) with their season on the line. In all honesty, 2018 was kind of a sucky sports year for this guy.
The line opened at 6, and I think Alabama covers pretty easily.
I lived in Columbia SC for a year a long time ago, and the girl I dated and her family were douchebag Clemson fans. To this day I'd still like to punch her brother in law right in the mouth for other reasons and even though I'm back home in NC and haven't seen them in over ten years, it still brings me pleasure when Clemson loses knowing they are in tears. Thank God for my sweet wife who is a Liberty alum and Duke fan
Roll Tide. Dabo is a used car salesman... and really good at delegating.
In pro sports, I like all the Atlanta teams....at least there, my expectations are low and there is no heart break!!!
I think Clemson wins. I think they finally have a superior trenches game than Alabama and that will be the deciding factor.
I hate all those except Saban taking the Packers Job!!!
If clempsun (aka Pickens county community college) wins I will go into hiding and move to Canada.
I said something similar in 2017 about Orange County Community College. I still regret not leaving.
