🏈 Week 15/championship weekend predictions

[PhillyGirl]

Premiere
#18 Florida vs. #2 Alabama [in Atlanta] - :tank:

#20 Temple at #17 Houston - Hoping the Owls can get the W. Would be very exciting!

#7 Stanford vs. #24 USC [in Santa Clara] - USC is coming off a big win over rival UCLA .. 40-21. They have beaten 3 ranked teams (I believe - Utah, Cal, and UCLA) since mid-October. Could an upset win be in the works?? Rooting for Stanford either way. Stanford by 6.

#8 UNC vs. #1 Clemson [in Charlotte] - This is gonna be a great game. Clemson escaped a close call with a crappy USCe team. UNC is surprising, and has not lost since Week 1. I gotta believe a win over Clemson would put them into the playoffs. I think it's a CLOSE game but Clemson squeaks by on a last second TD.

#5 Michigan State vs. #4 Iowa [in Indianapolis] - Another great game in the works. Iowa has been the 'boring' team in the top 10, kind of ignored as they slowly climbed in the rankings. MSU just came off a complete destruction of Penn State. However, MSU DID lose to Nebraska 3 weeks ago .. by 1 point. Could Nebraska show Iowa how to win? I think MSU seems to be favored (I don't read odds, that is just my impression). Iowa wins by 10.

Texas at #12 Baylor - An upset here would be cool, but mehhhh.

I feel like we will win, but I'm not predicting a score.

Premiere
#18 Florida vs. #2 Alabama [in Atlanta] - The Tide easily covers the spread and rolls. :tank i like the tank)

#20 Temple at #17 Houston - Man! This ought to be a good one. If it is AT Houston, I'll have to give them the edge.

#7 Stanford vs. #24 USC [in Santa Clara] - The pac-12 is crazy. It's hard to say USC loses this game, but I'll go with Stanford.

#8 UNC vs. #1 Clemson [in Charlotte] - UNC looks good on the offensive side of the ball, but they haven't played anyone with much of a pulse.
They only way that Clemson loses this game is if they give it away with turnovers. Clemson wins.

#5 Michigan State vs. #4 Iowa [in Indianapolis] - I have to go with Sparty. Iowa has a very balanced team, but they played a weak schedule and I think it bites them in the championship game against MSU.

Top 25
Texas at #12 Baylor - Baylor 63-52. (Even Texas can score on these guys)

#20 Temple at #17 Houston -OWLS all the way

#7 Stanford vs. #24 USC [in Santa Clara] - Stanford the TREE

#8 UNC vs. #1 Clemson [in Charlotte] - Because of my friend a UNC grads I won't to win, but Clemson will win

#5 Michigan State vs. #4 Iowa [in Indianapolis] -Michigan St

Premiere
#18 Florida vs. #2 Alabama [in Atlanta] - :tank:BAMA blasts the Gayturds and lock in their spot in the 2nd CFP. Coach McElwain has put together a nice team, but the bandaids are beginning to lose their sticky and fall off. BAMA by 14!

#20 Temple at #17 Houston - Temple isn't flashy, but they seem to get the job done. Houston must have promised Herman a short stay in the AAC. Why else would he agree to an extension? Houston pulls it out.
#7 Stanford vs. #24 USC [in Santa Clara] - USC, coming of their UCLA win and announcing Helton as their HC, looks to trip up Stanford. Stanford proves too stout and the NERDS win.

#8 UNC vs. #1 Clemson [in Charlotte] - This game could resemble a UNC/Duke bball game. Two explosive offenses facing off here. Larry Fedora has the Heels playing solid since his boneheaded play calling cost them in the opener. Chizik has proven that he is a pretty good DC, even though he flunked as a HC. I think a last minute TD wins it. Love to see Dabo pull it off because he is a former teammate, but this one will be tight.

#5 Michigan State vs. #4 Iowa [in Indianapolis] - Even though Iowa is cruising along at 12-0, Sparty has a blemish simply because of a screw up on an officials part in the Nebraska game ( Nebraska WR went out of bounds on his own and came back in on his own to catch game winning TD). Sparty will be the rep in the CFP this year for the Big 10.


Top 25
Texas at #12 Baylor - Briles and his Bears send Charlie Strong off to his next job.

Think about this...

#20 Temple #17 Houston - One of my favorite movies is "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". One of my favorite movie lines is "Houston, we have a problem." Since Indiana Jones is a really cool character, and Tom Hanks almost dies in "Apollo 13", it stands to reason that Temple will defeat the Cougars. I'm thinking 58 to 49 because if you add the numbers together the sum is 13. Wake me when this one's over.


#7 Stanford vs #24 USC [in Santa Clara] - It stands to reason that since it's almost Christmas and the game is in SANTA Clara, the trees have a tremendous advantage. Unless they get lit! That will happen. Stanford will feel as though they just found out Santa isn’t real. We’re all grown-ups now and everyone should be happy at the after-game party as most attendees sport Trojans. USC 69 Stanford much less.


#1 Clemson #8 North Carolina [in Charlotte] – For a short while I dated a girl named Charlotte in college, and she was about as exciting as this game, which is like climate change. You know, if it’s hot then climate change is to blame. Rain? Climate change. Dry? Climate change. Cold in January? Climate change. If Clemson wins big, UNC wasn’t very good. If it’s close, UNC was better than anyone thought. Clemson wins… by 10, 28-18.


#5 Michigan State vs #4 Iowa State [in Indianapolis] - Your prayers will not be answered Spartans. Iowa wins in Round 1 of the playoffs 13 -10.

As if I could forget - The Tide rolls 38-3.
