So does it happen? No, I don't. I do think Clemson keeps it close. So I do think LSU wins the game, but I would be surprised if Clemson didn't make it very competitive throughout most of this contest.

So does it happen? No. I think Notre Dame wins and wins comfortably, and the September story dies in Green Bay. However, I think they get the job done on Sunday.

11 wins is the floor. That’s the expectation for the Fighting Irish for me this year. I have them second.
I think Oklahoma can win the national championship. I really believe that.
The projections have Georgia around 10-2, so sixth is me saying that Georgia has the highest floor in college football.
The offensive line has just two starters back, which is a real concern, and they open at LSU on September 5, which is gonna be a really good team.
Miami is the only team in the league whose ceiling is a crystal football.
