My vote is already in incase y'all are wondering who I am rooting for.
National Championship winner?
My main man, Mark Schlabach, has already made his predictions for the playoffs and I could not agree with him more. Check out his article. I am actually predicting Clemson to win Oklahoma by about 34-31. Last second field goal for the tigers is what will give them the win in the Orange Bowl. Why I believe Clemson will win? Easy. Deshaun Watson. He was a Heisman finalist and of course, Clemson has been perfect the entire season. Now that does not mean I would over look Baker Mayfield. I am actually more impressed with his stats than I am with Watson. Do you remember the Russell Athletic Bowl last year? That turned out pretty ugly for the Sooners. Maybe they will avenge from their lost from last year. Schlabach has predictions for Oklahoma to win by 34-31. We shall see who is right.
Every Sparty fan that actually thinks they have a chance of winning against the mighty tide, y'all might want to start praying for a miracle. Alabama has been non-stop winning ever since they lost to Ole Miss. I can say that with that loss, it has made them stronger as a team and also improved their momentum by a lot. Schlabach is predicting Alabama to win Michigan State by 27-17. I have complete faith in the Heisman winner, Derek Henry and Jake Coker to run that offense all the way to the end zone quite a few times in the Cotton Bowl. I am predicting a win for Alabama by 35-13. No other defense in the nation has been able to stop Derek Henry from scoring and I know Michigan State will not be able to do that with their defense.
Schlabach also concluded in his article that Alabama will win the National College Football Playoff, beating Oklahoma by about 27-21. I agree with the score, except with the win over Clemson. I think Clemson needs a taste of their own medicine. Clemson is a second place team and that is exactly what will happen to them when they play Alabama. Plus, having a Heisman winner win the National Championship is the best outcome for Alabama.
Do you think BYU will beat Utah?
The Holy war is now coming to sin city. The Las Vegas Bowl is probably the most exciting bowl to be played besides the playoffs. This is an intense rivalry game, it cannot get any better than that! Although, will this be the year that the cougars FINALLY show Utah who is boss? Probably not, here is why..
BYU's offense + Utah's defense = 
Those emoji's are referring to the BYU fan if you were wondering...
If you look at my past post "Utah Survives an Upset from California," I state that Utah's defense is actually quite decent. That is probably the nicest thing I will ever say about Utah, but I am not kidding, I really said it, "I will give Utah credit for one thing, their defense is actually pretty good. I was really surprised how well they pressured the offense."
Another threat to BYU is, of course the one and only, Devonate Brooker. He is no where near as awesome as Derek Henry, but he has the potential. He has about 268 carries, 1261 yards, and 11 touchdowns. I still have that poll up for who should be considered for Heisman and apparently everybody is favoring Brooker, so we shall see the outcome.
I will give credit to BYU for one thing, Tanner Magnum is ten times a better quarterback than Travis Wilson. Magnum's stats do show what he is capable of. Magnum can do well under pressure, Wilson not so much.
I am also sure everybody knows that Bronco Mendenhall is leaving (hallelujah), so who do you think will be BYU's head coach? I have some pretty good ideas. I think if BYU wins Utah in the Las Vegas bowl, they will probably try to convince Kyle Whittingham to come back to his alma mater, however, the pay cut would be a tough sell. The other option BYU has for a coach, which actually surprised me is Darrell Bevell. Those of you who need a refresher, he is the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator. If you need to be deeply soaked, he led the team to the Super bowl XLVIII win. Pretty cool, right? Maybe he can help BYU get some decent wins.
Alright, the time has come, Who do you think will win? ESPN is already saying Utah is favored to win by 59.6%. Do you agree?
