As I share with you guys my predictions for the 2016 CFB playoff, please share yours! And let's all pray that the playoff stays at 4 teams, so that the regular season stays it's usual, beautiful self.
With that done, let's rock and roll! Here are my playoff predictions:
Peach Bowl: LSU over Michigan (The survivors of the always-tough SEC will feel right at home here. Michigan will be a tough out, but the Tigers will tell Mr. Harbaugh "Better luck next time".)
LSU over Notre Dame in the championship game (This is "redemption time" for Les Miles; after almost getting fired he'll have a chip on his shoulder, and so will his team. For 2016, Notre Dame will come OH SO CLOSE to their first title since 1988, but rugged LSU will stop them short and win it all.)
Cotton Bowl: San Diego State vs. Washington (This was the hardest bowl to pick teams for, but I'm going with this match-up. The Aztecs may be the only undefeated team in the country by New Year's, and the Huskies have way too much talent to be denied.)
Rose Bowl: Stanford vs. Ohio State (Stanford will win a tough PAC-12 race, and they'll have a motivated Ohio State team waiting for them in Pasadena.)
Sugar Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Tennessee (Oklahoma should outlast OK State and the rest of the Big 12, and awaiting them in New Orleans will be a Tennessee making it's first "major-league" bowl game since the 1999 season.)
...So, what do you think? Can YOU do better than me? Let's find out!
With that done, let's rock and roll! Here are my playoff predictions:
CFB Playoff:
Fiesta Bowl: Notre Dame over Clemson (Deshaun Watson will be great once again in getting Clemson to the playoff, but a battle-tested Notre Dame team will take them out with their great defense.)Peach Bowl: LSU over Michigan (The survivors of the always-tough SEC will feel right at home here. Michigan will be a tough out, but the Tigers will tell Mr. Harbaugh "Better luck next time".)
LSU over Notre Dame in the championship game (This is "redemption time" for Les Miles; after almost getting fired he'll have a chip on his shoulder, and so will his team. For 2016, Notre Dame will come OH SO CLOSE to their first title since 1988, but rugged LSU will stop them short and win it all.)
Other "New Year's Six" bowls:
Orange Bowl: Florida State vs. Alabama (The Seminoles and Crimson Tide will be the "first 2 teams out" of the playoff this year. And it should be a humdinger when Fisher and Saban try to take out their frustrations on each other.)Cotton Bowl: San Diego State vs. Washington (This was the hardest bowl to pick teams for, but I'm going with this match-up. The Aztecs may be the only undefeated team in the country by New Year's, and the Huskies have way too much talent to be denied.)
