Bama opens as a 7 point fav. Although my bowel pick 'em says different, I think Clemson will test that line.
Clemson's defensive front and defensive speed should slow down Bama's run game to some extent. Not sure if Hurts can get it done enough with his arm.

I think Clemson is the most dynamic team I've seen on offense this year. I'm not a stats guy, just go by eyeballs. They do a lot of stuff, with a lot of different looks, and do it damn well. Besides, I think Watson will be on a mission.
I know the Elephants are a monster on defense, but damn if this match-up isn't gonna be a good one.

Last year Bama was a 6.5 favorite. Won by 5. I fully believe Clemson is better than last year, and overall, Bama is a little off last year's team. And to say a little, is a credit to how good they are..
So if someone was to give me a few free bones, I'd drop it on Clemson...

And with that, Alabammy wins by 13.
Which I for one, have had a belly full... Sorry Sam..

Lateral move at best. Dude has an easier path to the playoff in the ACC for now. Plus he has had Clemson in the title game the past two seasons. Just use the Bama job as leverage to get more from Clemson.

Maybe dude has Bama as a dream job, but barring that I see it as a lateral move. Dude clearly has shown that he can get to the title game where he is. Sure Bama has more Titles, but it's a lateral move because he has no better chance to win a title there than where he is.

Heard some stat on the radio that if Bama had scored zero offensive points all year, they still would've won 6 games. That's absurd.

Bama defense - 14, Bama offense - 3, Clemson - 10

Based on your math in other threads, Sam, looks like Bama is gonna run away with this one. Somethin' like 70-10 (?) :)
