Yeah I guess I should add this was written before Joe Brady left for the NFL. Seems a lot of LSUs top players are declaring as well

Agreed with LSU, they'll be losing so many players. It'll be interesting to see if coach O can keep the gravy train going or not. But I find it unlikely they go back to back.

Clemson will almost assuredly make it the final four, simply because they're in the ACC. Idk about winning it though.

Clemson will win the natty in 2020. 

Book it.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned....

I think Clemson skates in easily to the playoffs again, with either them or OSU winning it all.  An interesting OOC matchup is OSU vs Oregon in week 2 next year.

Clemson is loaded next year. Loaded.

Don’t see bama back next year. I’d trade Okie for the Ducks.

With Smith, Harris, Moses and the tackle returning, They are going to be tough to beat.   Jones has shown that he is more than capable of scoring points.   Their defense will be improved due to playing lots of freshmen.   

Not sure who the QB will be for OU, that’s why I didn’t have them in.   If the QB for Texas is returning, I see them winning that conference 

[aubaseball 2,583]

My original four of Oklahoma was a misprint.   I was thinking of Oregon

That is interesting.  Do you think the "dynasty" has fallen?

It’s on the down.

Not where it matters. They’re replacing 4 of 5 on the oline.

I believe the country as a whole is tired of the same teams making the playoffs year after year. I know I am. bammer, Clemson, Ohio State, yada, yada, yada. It was nice this year to see LSU in the playoffs instead of the turds and actually winning it all. I wish it could have been us and with the right coaching, it could have been given the talent on the 2019 Auburn team. The system needs to change and be expanded to an 8 team playoff. Teams like Clemson who play a very weak regular season schedule are perennial shoe-ins for the playoffs. I think strength of schedule should be a key factor in who makes the playoffs. January is the most boring part of the college football season to me under the present playoff system.

It's hit the peak and going down the other side.

Clemson vs Ohio State in the final with Clemson winning  🤮  

Clemson plays a joke of a schedule again and there’s no Tua or Burrow to spoil the party. 

[AUsince72 11,084]

I don't know.  Minnesota looked to have a Nat'l Champ caliber Defense in their bowl game against an Offensive juggernaut.

But there is a Nix to nix their hopes.  Sorry, couldn’t help it.

Take a look at Clemsons schedule....who will stop them next year?

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Looking forward to see how our recruiting goes next year with Chad and Jack on the staff.

[Linayus 676]

SEC Champ (Bama)
B1G Champ (Ohio St)
ACC Champ (Clemson)
PAC12 Champ (Oregon)

Those are very likely our top 4. I think OU's dismal performance this year keeps the Big 12 conference champ out. Best playoff match-ups would be Clemson vs. Oregon and Bama vs. Ohio State. Another Bama vs. Clemson championship game with Bama coming out victorious.

 

All that said - Bama loses early to Georgia. Georgia loses to Florida. LSU drops 3 games. Auburn wins the SEC. Bo Nix wins the Davey O'Brien but loses the Maxwell/Heisman to Chuba Hubbard. Auburn falls flat in the playoff against Clemson because it only took 30 minutes for Brent Venables to scheme up the defense to stop our offense and we panic. Clemson regains its spot as National Champ.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

I'd love to see us play Oklahoma in some bowl next year.
