🏈 Way-too-early Final Four predictions

[silvermetalflake]

Of course, but it's always fun to speculate! What do you think, based on what we know right now? Subject to change, of course

Well... I have been absent from the boards since the Oakie beat down for a reason. Pre-season team speculation, propaganda, coin flipping and guessing is an exercise in futility IMO. I know some revel in it cuz they wanna keep the stuff active off-season, and I get it. I just don't believe in indulging in it. For me, the forum official begins August 30th at kick off. Until then, I'm saving my thoughts, opinions, and questions until the ball is actually in play and boots on the ground for real.

That's fair Looking forward to seeing your thoughts next week! (man, it feels good to say NEXT WEEK re: Bama football) :bigaldance:

P.S: Where in Ontario are you? I just moved to Syracuse so I am closer to our neighbors to the north, so I am just curious what part of Ontario you are from. I think I would be 2-3 hours from Ottawa.

EDIT: 4ish from Toronto, as well.

Well well.... isn't timing just everything?
I'm going to be in Syracuse on the 12 - 14th at the Turning Stone Casino Resort for a Scare-A-Con convention - I'm a dealer. Yeah, it's about 4.5 hours (give or take depending on Customs) from where I live in Burlington, Ontario. And naturally.... going down in the Tide mobile which, with Canadian plates, ALWAYS gets me looks and few few photos snapped. LOL. And I'm seriously considering throwing on the car door magnets as well. Flags might be pushing it. LOL.

Wow, funny. Never heard of Scare-A-Con but I just googled it, sounds interesting. Yessss represent that Tide fandom up here!! I have yet to see any Tide merchandise, or meet a Tide fan .. It's only been a few days though so I will hold out hope!

In Burlington (smaller than Tuscaloosa), I get "Roll Tides" on the occasion... sometimes from drivers yelling out their windows. LOL.

Also, there are at least three people from Tuscaloosa here: a married woman in her 60s (hubby's from Baltimore), and a young couple whose husband was just transferred here on business re-location. The wife used to work at the University. I met them (or rather they met me) last Fall at a Pumpkin Patch farm. LOL. We all get together at a local bar for Bama games sometimes when schedules permit.

Looks like @uagrad93 and @We All Bleed Crimson were the closest with 3 of the 4 picks each.

BAMA, UCLA, Ohio State, and FSU. I think that even though OSU has lost Miller for the season, they can prop a guy up there and still go 11-1 with that weak ass schedule. FSU plays NO ONE! UCLA and BAMA actually have tougher roads but I think they arrive there as well.

FSU (Clemson may be their only challenge)
Bama (The focus should be back now)
Oregon (Marriota may be enough to get them past Pac12)
and finally, I'm really torn on the Big10 (Michigan State or Wisconsin), Big12 (OU), and South Carolina,
I'll go with Michigan State
