Predcitons about tomorrow's CFB Championship
Mates,
Tomorrow at 8 pm on ESPN. Alabama is a 4 1/2 point favorite and the game is going to be played out west in the 49er's newish stadium in Santa Clara, CA. At a minimum, I am hoping for a very good game. I guess I can't help but root for Clemson, all things being equal, but I get that some will want to call in a meteor strike.
Anyway, simple question tonight:
Who do you think wins tomorrow's CFB championship game, and is that different than who you want to win the game?

Just can't find the interest. Not watching.
January 6th, 2019 at 11:52 PM ^
Bama by double digits. Not watching.
January 7th, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
I also predict Imagine Dragons will suck ass.
January 7th, 2019 at 12:45 AM ^
I think Alabama wins and I could not give a shit either way.
January 7th, 2019 at 1:47 AM ^
Given the (YAWN) participants and their respective weak schedules, NOBODY wins. This has been the biggest LOSE:LOSE playoff of the previous 4.
January 7th, 2019 at 10:44 AM ^
Either Alabama or Clemson would walk through the Big Ten consistently with an occasional loss maybe every other year to Ohio State (with Urban Meyer). Michigan's performance every year has ZERO to do with playing a tough schedule. Name one team this year that beat Michigan that could have beat Alabama or Clemson? How did playing Clemson work out for the Irish a couple weeks ago? Sorry, I know everyone is entitled to an opinion and you should have your voice heard but calling out weak schedules and whining about two excellent college football programs is flat out ridiculous. Both Clemson and Alabama EARNED their way by BEATING the RANKED teams they are supposed to. Michigan is 1-9 at that under Harbaugh which leaves them once again watching tonight.

Came for the comments about cheating, took about 3 posts.
biggest bunch of crybabies I’ve ever seen
January 7th, 2019 at 7:46 AM ^
My prediction: There will be Dr Pepper commercials.
January 7th, 2019 at 7:59 AM ^
Case for Alabama: OL holds, Tua has a lights-out game.
Case for Clemson: OL holds, Trevor has a light-out game.
My get tells me the scale tips to Alabama. Trevor Lawrence gets pressure, makes a few bad throws resulting in INT ... game ends up 35 - 31 Alabama, or something like that.

I’m going to watch but really have no rooting interest and kind of bored with these two teams. They deserve it they are the two best teams, but I guess I’ll root for Clemson the lessor of two evils. Alabama wins though in my opinion no clue what the final score is
January 7th, 2019 at 8:38 AM ^
Don't worry because no one here knows what the final score will be, either. In fact, it's impossible to know the final score before the game happens.
January 7th, 2019 at 9:39 AM ^
Lessor of two weevils.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:37 AM ^
I am thinking of recording the game and watching it at work on Wednesday. That'll kill four+ hours.
January 7th, 2019 at 9:04 AM ^
I predict I won't watch.
January 7th, 2019 at 9:31 AM ^
Yawn. Clemson vs Alabama again. Won’t even turn it on. I actually think this matchup is bad for college football and couldn’t care less about this game. Need something different
January 7th, 2019 at 9:36 AM ^
Alabama v Clemson you say? It's like deja vu all over again.
January 7th, 2019 at 10:40 AM ^
Michael Palin agrees:

Bama will win big. My hope is that Saban retires and Dabo takes the Bama job. Then Clemson fades away and Bama becomes human.
As a side note, Clemson has a true Freshman QB. Imagine that!
January 7th, 2019 at 10:38 AM ^
Easy prediction:
Bad turf
January 7th, 2019 at 11:07 AM ^
My predictioni is that I will not watch the game... I'll probably forget about it and my wife will watch the Bachelor and I'll go to bed early. Gosh that is sad on multiple levels.
That said, I'll watch the highlights on YouTube tomorrow morning before working out. The final score will be 2-0 when Clemson intercepts a hail mary on the last play of the game at the 5 yard line... only to run backwards and get tackled in the endzone. Bama wins again, again, again, again. :0)
January 7th, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
Football will happen
January 7th, 2019 at 11:26 AM ^
Clemson all the way.
It proves that if you are willing to put Michigan-level talent in the right schemes on offense and defense, you can win a National Championship.
Actually, Clemson has already proven that, another NC would just reinforce it.
Rivals class rankings since Harbaugh was established at Michigan:
2019: CLEMSON #6 MICHIGAN #9
2018: CLEMSON #8 MICHIGAN #24
2017: CLEMSON #22 MICHIGAN #4
2016: CLEMSON #6 MICHIGAN #4
AVG: CLEMSON #10.5 MICHIGAN #10.25
Clemson is not doing anything Michigan can't do . . . if Michigan just decides to do it.

I'm not going to watch it but Bama will win by 10.
