I don't think you're considering the Freeze Factor. They are horrible out of conference, bowl games and big games in general...He can't even manage a win over Bert with twice as much talent....I'll be rooting for Ole Miss but even Jimbo is a better coach and I wouldn't be surprised to see FSU win by 17 or more.

Don't sleep on the Gators just maybe pulling out a W at FSU. If we can get rolling and be consistent on offense we can beat them. Its a rivalry game and you never know what can happen. 2 years ago we should have beat them because they turned the ball over so much. We just couldn't score TD's and put them away!
Go Gators!!!

Wait,... what?
by far the worst, or near worst has to be the 2000 Alabama team that started the season #3, and only amassed the same number of total wins
but that's not in the last 10 years is it. can't tarnish that golden child name now, could they.

Fsu is going to be crap this year, they have no qb. They'll also not even win their own division because they are going to get pantsed by Clemson en route to that Watson kid winning the hei$man. As for the ole miss game, ole miss is going to murder them. Ole miss ALWAYS plays on fire early in the season and then fades late. Despite losing some players, they are still loaded with suitcase paid talent and chad Kelly will be slinging it around. Fsu has multiple double digit losses this year, write it down.
Jimbo says he gets great recruits because he serves as the Father these boys need -- especially when
he makes home visits to Momma.
B1G is hollow. Between MICH and tOSU, throw in a little Sparty spice to the wins/losses. and whomever wins the conference will be in the CFP looking to get their ass beat.
ACC will try to ride CLEM and F$U all season as their banner bearers, but CLEM will trounce them and ride on the CFP where they make the finals again.
AL will win nearly all their games, but by closer margins than last year (it is a down year, after all), then roll whomever from the East (to include us if we make it), and roll to another NC. Only deflection in that path is we have the potential to put up a fight in the SECCG this time, and maybe we get lucky...additionally, AL may stumble in the CFP due to players believing they are owed the NC as opposed to earning it.
Fourth CFP spot goes to B12. Not that they deserve it, or have a team worthy, but because they've been left out of the spotlight too long and the powers that be will want to try and keep them relevant.
P12 has exams that week.

Playoffs will be Clemson/FSU winner, tOSU/Michigan winner, Alabama/LSU winner and ?. ? might be Oklahoma or Stanford/Oregon, Notre Dame or some other non-power 5 team.
Oh, and LSU beats 'Bama this year (barring injuries). Game is at LSU, both teams coming off byes. LSU is rock solid everywhere except QB. Returning starter Brandon Harris is athletic and has a great arm but struggled last year with accuracy and decision making. The difference this year? Either he's going to improve or LSU will bring in Danny Etling. Etling played with Austin Appleby at Purdue before both of them transferred out. Etling had to sit out last year. He led the scout team against the starting LSU defense every week. Etling can play, has about a season of starting experience at Purdue. So either way, LSU will get better production out of the QB spot--either Brandon Harris makes that jump or Danny Etling takes the reins.

Not that it helps any but didn't Georgia Southern have to vacate that win so we were actually 5-7?
Mustank was still 4-8.
Thats notbthe way it works. GSU may habe had to vacate their wins but its still a loss for use, officially.
:wobble:
