I chose Bama, but I think Clemson has a great chance. Wouldn't surprise me if they won

Alabama, 14-10. Both offenses struggle all night, and a defensive touchdown gives Alabama the lead in the second half.

RE: Poll: Alabama vs Clemson
Hard to tell how good Clemson is. They have nearly lost several games to lesser teams.

They have a bad habit of playing down to the competition. Do they really step up for Alabama or do the bad habits doom them? I'm inclined to believe the latter.

Although Alabama was really looking like trash vs. Washington with a lot of pushing and talking at the end of the game and several personal fouls. That is not typical disciplined Saban. They might be in trouble if they fall behind early.

RE: Poll: Alabama vs Clemson
Alabama is probably a 60/40 prospect to win. However, the odds of winning 2 in a row (before they are played) is 60% X 60% = 36%. So if Clemson was 64% likely to win at least ONE game in two...

(Yeah, I know it doesn't work that way AFTER the first game was played, but humor me!)

I think Watson will make the plays to win. I'm looking forward to the game though. It should be a good one.

I think that 'Bama will win, but my fingers are crossed for Clemson. They need a win in life, and it would be good for the conference.

There should have been an option for "I couldn't care less".

RE: Poll: Alabama vs Clemson
I think the O. Coordinator snafu was a screw up by Saban....

I expect them to run Scarborough more, but that's not going to work as well against Clemson as it did against Washington. How do the offensive players react to Sarkisian? The playbook will be simple stupid, but is that what you want against a team that just blanked Urban Meyer and Ohio State??

If Clemson gets up in this game, I think it's over....

It will probably take awhile for Clemson to get going though against that Bama D. Watson has to make sure to not throw picks

Overall, I think it's low scoring, and Clemson goes ahead in the 4th quarter 24-13

Is that a groping reference?

I think Bama wins, and Saban moves up to Bear Bryant status.

For me, I dislike both teams plus Saban, so I hope it ends in a tie and goes 50 OTs.
