YTD

85 - 55 61%

went 7-6 this past week...meh

A Few Notes:

The #1 team in the country didn't play like yesterday. I'm not sure if was that they were not interested or what it was...very lack luster effort. Seems like they are just going through the motions right now and they better get there act together cause UNC in a few weeks is not gonna be a easy task. I'm not sure if there is a team that's hotter right now then UNC.

Not surprised about the Baylor game at all. I've been saying for weeks now that Baylor WILL NOT be the same team. Last night punched their ticket to officially be out of the race. Sorry bears.... maybe next year?

Anybody surprised LSU got punked? Not me. Arkansas IMO is still a very average football team. Just ask Toledo and Texas Tech. But LSU is the biggest fraud in college football. They can't throw a forward pass...and guess what? IF you can't throw a forward pass in today's game.... you will lose. It's mind boggling that LSU can't find a QB. Really the whole SEC year in and year out can't find quality QB's.

The Pac 12 IMO... Is now officially out. See ya!

My top 10

1. Clemson
2. Ohio st
3. Notre Dame
4. Alabama
5. Oklahoma st
6. Iowa
7. Oklahoma
8. Michigan st
9. TCU
10. Florida / UNC / Navy / who cares really....

The ACC CHAMPIONSHIP is going to be a dog fight .. Worried Clemson is pretty average when NOT PLAYING AT HOME... HOPE I AM WRONG, but I don't think they Match up well with BAMA OR OHIO ST .. especially on a neutral field .. What do u think the spread will be in the ACC CHAMPIONSHIP ???:

As you Know the 2nd Half of the season is a completely different animal .. 2 schools are Playing extremely better down the stretch ..ARKANSAS & OREGON ... Both squads in my opinion could hang with and possibly beat anyone RIGHT NOW ... The Other conferences should be real happy OREGON WAS UNHEALTHY EARLY .. The Defense was on the Field like 8%+ of the time and played very well at Key times ..

Do You think either Oklahoma or OKLAHOMA STATE can run the table in the regular season ???? The Sooners look really good, but would need to win in Stillwater... BOTH OKLAHOMA AND STATE HAVE THE MOST IMPRESSIVE WINS OF THE SEASON, BEATING A TOP 6 RANKED SCHOOL ON THE ROAD !!!

Look everyone knows you hate the SEC , BUT REALLY BROTHER ALABAMA #4 ???? Odds makers would definitely have them favored over anyone right now ... HENRY practically has the Heisman in his hands ... I have zero money on the TIDE and HOPE they don't make the PLAYOFF , because as a realist I know they would BURN MY CLEMSON,OKLAHOMA,OKLAHOMA STATE,FLORIDA,& UNC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FUTURES ...

BEST OF LUCK BROTHER .....

MAY YOU HAVE UR BEST WEEK OF THE SEASON

Will you be laying 30+ with Clemson this week ???

BEST OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS,WEALTH, BLESSINGS and LUCK TO ALL !!

Double you have lost your mind if you think Bama would smoke Clemson. SMH..... Clemson will meet with Bama in the playoff and Watson will destroy them. Clemson is just going through the motions right now.

Arkansas is average... nothing more

Bama is about where I have them...@ #4. You need to quit watching and letting EsecPN brainwash you dude.

one of the biggest mistakes " average fans " make each week is getting caught up in the moment. The " snap shot "..... Almost like a kid in a candy store... can't see the real picture.

Why do think Vegas builds them big hotels? Average joes and snap shot moment guys...

Boom, Clemson is definitely the #1 team in the nation, and I'll tip my hat at how well your boys are going after it this year......but, this is one of the most ridiculous statements on this site.

C'mon man.

Clemson will beat Bama... not ridiculous at all.

And yes, they are going through the motions right now...just like Ohio st has most of the season.

Watson will do whatever against Bama. Bama can't cover a QB like him. Period...

Bama loves playing a Pro style QB. They love it...

anytime they play a team that " looks " like them...they play well.

But when the play a mobile QB... Not so much.

Dak still threw for 300 yds yesterday because his ability to move around.

Clemson has the best set of receivers Bama would see ALL YEAR long.

Clemson also has the best QB bama will see all year long.

These are facts

I think the "will destroy them" is where I was coming from.

Agree on going through the motions, Ohio State will finally get its biggest test the next couple of weeks, they need A LOT of work in many areas to secure their Playoff bid.

Watson just needs to pick apart that Bama secondary, he'll throw for 300+.

Bama can't stop Watson. They can't... He will have a field day vs them.

Watson would easily throw for 300+ and run for another 100+.

That by definition is destroying a defense.

People are going to overreact to Bama in the coming weeks. They play a Florida offense who couldn't score if you let them play with 13 guys on offense... so of course bama will look good.

and guess what?

Come time when they play Watson.... He is gonna walk ALL OVER THEM

am very FAR FROM AVERAGE !!!

DEFINITELY NOT A FAN OF ANY TEAM ...

that is the major factor in why I am successful betting on college football = HEART NEVER gets in the way ...

Look I hope Clemson WINS it All ..I have $73 on then @33-1=... But I think Bama would beat them 68% of the time.... Odds makers would likely set the line around 4/4.5 or maybe closer to 6 ..... DON'T LOSE YOUR SAVINGS WHEN THAT TIME COMES !!!!

..ESPN has NO effect on my POINT SPREAD RATINGS .... anytime their talking heads speak I usually Laugh ... JOEY GALLOWAY AND ROBERT SMITH ARE THE MOST ANNOYING ... Other than STEPHEN A and the Scarecrow guy ...

didn't say you were average... re -read it. Im saying the average fan in general overreacts.

If im being honest with you Double... I do think you follow the espn way of thinking. I see the Bama in your eyes. Bama can NOT cover a guy like Watson....he is gonna walk all over them. Defensively Bama is good vs teams that look like them. But when you spread them out it has been proven time and time again they cant handle it.

A&M this year was not a good example. Why? Allen is not a real dual threat...

But the last 2 years when they have to play OOC in big bowl games vs other teams not named SEC.. .they get exposed. These are facts. Can't argue with them. Am I not bringing up honest questions about there ability to cover a guy like watson?

Bottom line is Clemson will beat Alabama

on a un festival à montréal qui cherche des types comik je leur parle de toi....

le seul point que tu as raison est que clemson est no 1 et que watson est solide,même si je suis un maniaque de bama je ne pense pas que mon club a une grosse chance

Any plus week is good.

My thinking that every team has "one of those games" Can't penalize team just because they played a close one. That's a quick route to a loss.

I took Syr just because there were 30.5 pts. out there. Geez!!

Clemson still in the top 4. Alabama looking good.

I sure hope you are right ...

I want CLEMSON to WIN IT ALL ... I AM concerned that they have NOT played a tough FOE on the road ...everyone else that makes the PLAYOFF will LIKELY have that under their Belt. ..

Watching ALABAMA it is very clear to me they CAN RUN THE BALL ON ANYONE .. The WR'S have big play ability when needed .... Most importantly the Defense is getting better as the season goes on ..

He says LSU is a joke, and he's a huge Bama fan, but doesn't give them a chance against Clemson.

My top 10

1. Clemson
2. Ohio st
3. Notre Dame
4. Alabama
5. Oklahoma st
6. Iowa
7. Oklahoma
8. Michigan st
9. TCU
10. Florida / UNC / Navy / who cares really....

picks later

Alabama has best defense in nation hands down and are really playing there best football the last couple games against there best competition they should be ranked ahead of both ohio st and notre dame

Boom-

I agree with everything for the most part but lets discuss some differences of opinion.

The SEC has no QB's so you rip on that. How about the Big 12 has no defense(none)- yet you never rip on that. Over the past 20 years I can name lots of good/great QB's from the SEC yet I can't think of a single "great" big 12 defense. Baylor lost because of a bad defense- plain and simple- I have been saying this all year long- That defense is certainly better than years past but it still sucks

Arkansas is anything but average. They are a solid football team who is very hot right now. LSU was the most over rated team in the country and I called that week after week. I put my money on Arky and the Arky tt yesterday for easy $$$.

If Arky is average then maybe N.C. isn't as good as you think- they got punked by a terrible South Carolina team. I think North Carolina is very good but you constantly rip on SEC teams for playing bad or losing to certain teams but you give Clemson a pass for (being disinterested)

I hate Alabama but you don't think they have games where they are disinterested- considering the success of that team since Saban has been there?

I think Clemson would probably win but to say Watson would destroy them may or may not happen- it is not a fact-

Syracuse ran for 242 yds on Clemson yesterday- Bama would run all over them as well. Bama had major trouble with Johnny football but when Ohio State drilled them is was because of Ezikiel Elliot- not because of a mobile QB. Jones had some nice runs but they were bulldozer runs up the middle-

Not trying to argue but we will just have to see if these two teams end up playing each other. Still lots of football left and anything can happen. I hope Clemson plays Alabama and drills them but to rip on others for not thinking the way you do seems counter productive don't you think?

I am hoping Stanford beats Notre Dame, the Sooners beat Oklahoma St. and Oklahoma plays Clemson for the Natty. In my opinion that would be an epic matchup. Nobody wants to see another Clemson/Irish matchup.
