Ill do another one in August, but you get more credit i guess for picking correctly this far out. And before we start, a bold prediction is not picking Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, or Clemson to make the playoff or win it all. Anything that is deemed a safe bet to happen is not a bold prediction.

1) Nebraska will win 9 games but will still not win the B1G West.

2) Clemson will find a way to lose 3 games with an easy schedule and one will be to Notre Dame.

3) Two Alabama players will make it to NYC as Heisman finalists.

4) Utah will win the PAC 12 again and will make the playoffs.

5) Texas will win the BIG XII in a rematch game vs Baylor but will miss the playoffs because of 3 losses.

Bonus: Auburn will win 1 SEC game all year.

1. Clemson beats Notre Dame and people start to say they're back and last year was a blip. Then they finish out the year with back to back losses to Miami and South Carolina

2. Texas has a losing record again

3. Oklahoma makes the playoffs

4. UCLA wins the Pac 12

5. Will Anderson sweeps the Heisman and all other player of the year awards he's eligible for


Those all feel pretty bold

Looking at the B1G this year it seems to be the most boring conference with one team being infinitely better than the rest. Nebraska isn’t going to be a great team but I think they are probably looking at their 2005 season if you catch my drift. Oklahoma barely beat them last year with one of the most hyped Oklahoma teams ever in Oklahoma and this maybe the worst Oklahoma teams ever going into Lincoln this year. I think Nebraska is going to have that false year that gets the idiots hyped on a bad coach.

Utah it’s more because everyone and their mother believes in Lincoln Riley. It just seems right imo. I’m not so confident about the second part of it as I’m in the first part of it. But again “Bold” statements aren’t picking in between the 2 favorites in the conference. Plus as you notice I have 5 different conferences in my 5 bold statements. So I was trying to find one for the PAC 12.

Ok here goes....

1. Two Bama players get invited to NY (Young and Anderson).
2. Dont kill me but Auburn will surprise some people with maybe 7 or 8 wins. Whenever everyone counts them out they show out.
3. Florida upsets Georgia but Georgia wins the East.
4. Utah wins the Pac 12 and makes playoffs.
5. This will be Mike Stoops final year at Kentucky as he takes a better job at a football school.

Hmmm. Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC
Im surprised with the Oklahoma pick with them losing both quarterbacks and having a first time head coach. So that is very bold. Props for including them and USC over Clemson though because Clemson does have the easiest path to the playoffs amongst betting favorites.

as absurdly easy as their schedule is this year, i really hope this is true
You know I was half tempted to go there and say Oregon, South Carolina, and Tennessee get them but I remember anytime those 3 are projected to take the next step it tends to be one backwards instead of forward. So I just couldn’t pull the trigger on that one even though it’s very possible when a team is coming off a national championship for the first time in forever.
