No, only Clemson has a chance.  Do you realize how many points Tua would put up against that Choklahoma defense?  I might actually get my 98.  Michigan has a pretty good D but I suspect they are pretty similar to LSU overall, and we just saw how that worked out.

Barring a major stumble, here are the matchups:

Bama - Michigan

Clemson - Notre Dame

Looks that way to me too.

Michigan still has to play OSU who could upset them. Notre Dame still plays Syracuse but I doubt that will impact their chances.

I think ND will make it to the playoffs but either Clemson or Michigan will put them out. RTR!

Barring a major stumble, here are the matchups:

Bama - Michigan

Clemson - Notre Dame




All 3 programs face some difficult teams. N. Dame has to play FSU, Syracuse, & USC. I think Syracuse beats them.

Michigan has to play Ohio State but in Ann Arbor. Close call. Which Ohio State team shows up? Does Urban get sick & stressed out? Who knows?

Clemson has to play BC (Saturday), Duke, & S. Carolina. I can see BC beating them in Boston.

Anything can happen in the last four weeks, but it looks like Bama vs. Mich/OSU and Clemson vs. ND. If that’s the case, Bama and Clemson both win by 40+ and we get another Bama/Clemson NCG. Lots of points will be scored, but Bama will win.

Bama vs. Michigan would be a very physical game and make for a tough turnaround for the NCG a week later.

I do NOT expect Cuse to beat ND at all.  No way that Clemson loses to either of their remaining opponents.  OSU/Michigan should be a fun game to watch and it is anybody's guess as to which team wins.

That's how I see it too, Clemson v. Bama, Part IV.

Dabo is no fool.  When he saw what Tua was doing, he knew he needed his true freshman QB to have a season of experience for Clemson to have a chance v. Bama.  So even though Clemson could have won their games, like last year, with last year's QB, Bama would have shut them down again in the playoffs.
